First, let me get this out of the way: Midwood is the most beautiful guitar shop I've ever walked…read moreinto. The guys there are super friendly and helpful. The culture they are creating around this shop is exciting. Charlotte is lucky to have them. But most of my business has been with their luthier/co-owner, Craig Landau. Craig is a world-class luthier. His eye, when looking at a guitar, does not miss a thing. His work, is meticulous and incredibly impressive. I recently picked up a guitar that was getting some work done, and Craig went out of his way to create a custom compensated bone saddle, on top of the other fine work he performed. I am sure it is a combination of everything he did, but my guitar has come to life. It absolutely rings now! I am a lifelong customer.

Precision craftsmanship, timely completion of the work, more than fair pricing, and on top of all that, he's a really nice and caring guy. An absolute pleasure to do business with. He recently did a complete set-up on my Gib​son Firebird, including a new nut, saddle, and body repair. And today he addressed an intonation issue with my Martin. My guitars have never played so well. He's a guitarist's best friend. You and your instrument will be in great hands with Kevin.

I had never played it much, but just decided to play it more over the holidays. I was having trouble with Fret buzz and the high action made it hard to enjoy playing.

I highly recommend Fretworks and will use them for all my guitar repair going forward.

I did not know Laura very well at all. I met her the day Rush Limbaugh died. She was sitting behind…read moreher counter crying. We struck up a conversation about Rush and became great friends. I have not been able to visit her store in a long time but I saw online that she had unexpectedly passed away. I hope that is not true but if it is she will be missed. She is a great human being and luthier {self taught} and just a lovely person to get to know. She has done amazing things with the store which I am told had a very bad reputation. but she did wonders with the painting on the walls and all the eclectic homey touches she put in to the place. It is truly like stepping into another world, perhaps a trip into the past, or maybe the future but either way it is an experience!

Sometimes, you find places that surprise you. Big Hat Larry's is one of those places. This place…read morehas one groovy vibe, man. This is the kind of place you just want to kick back on the couch and just chill while talking with the owners about music, old vinyl, and guitars. I enrolled my daughter in guitar lessons there and she's loving it. They are patient with her, funny, and makes her feel great about her lessons, even when she misses a note (or a string, or a whole chord). I seem to have a problem just dropping my kid off there for lessons. I tend to hang around and browse through the thousands of classic vinyl albums that line one wall of the shop (adorned with dozens of guitars for sale hanging above). I usually end up leaving with one or two new gems to add to my record collection. Recently, I took in my old Telecaster to have it cleaned and repaired. (One of the pots had seized up and wasn't turning.) Laura repaired my guitar and cleaned and restored it to it's former beauty. In short, this place is great if you're looking for old vinyl, need lessons, a new guitar, or to give new life to an old guitar!
