Throughout the process, Mike and Andy were communicative, knowledgeable, and very helpful. The shop itself is small, but it is carefully curated and the selection is excellent. The inventory caters to guitarists and bassists, primarily, but they will occasionally have a drum kit or two in the store as well. I peaked at a high-end-Gretsch, a vintage Fender jazz bass, and a blackface Bassman amp they had kicking around. I might have walked out with an impulse purchase if I hadn't been so pressed for time. The whole place was clean and well organized - not often a feature common to music shops. They had a wonderful selection of 60s-70s music playing in-store. Both Andy and Mike seem to love what they do; there was none of the jadedness you often find in retail. I'd highly recommend them, and I also recommend checking out the owner's pet project, a recording studio called "Dirty White Couch."

There's no high pressure to buy, and everyone is very knowledgeable. We've taken guitars for set ups/adjustments and the work was done quickly and efficiently with explanation of what was done (again, as a beginner, this was really appreciated). Daughter bought her first electric guitar here and it was an awesome experience all around, in every way.

UPDATE: This fake Christian dumbass owner, Ken at Roxy Music cannot stop lying if he tried. You…read moreguessed it, including making more inconsistent offerings that are yet reneged when viewing how much it would cost him for THEIR ADMITTED MISTAKE! That's right, they screwed up admittedly to messing up my guitar and in communications about what was supposed to be worked on. Let's get the story straight, I insisted Ken fix my guitar, he did not offer shit initially. Interestingly Ken brings up a full refret now as if he knows something I don't. A full refret was never spoken of until he had a meeting with his "luthier". You must know it needs a full refret bud. Check out this guys behavior. He offers up to a full refret at the shop of my choice and then renegs because he "read something wrong" on the website about the price. I'll break it down for you. Ken misreads somehow $300 for a full refret which is actually $550 and offers me a full refret up to $300. One fret replaced starts at $330. I bring this up and Ken says I'm right but he can't cover the full refret at $550 that he will only cover 3 frets. As soon as he saw that price of $550 he reneged. How shitty is that? So I would then have to foot the bill for something this guy just said he would cover. He bailed on me like a true slime ball. Then all of a sudden he offers only to fix 3 frets as this would be the cheaper route for him to go. Figures. That's exactly why this store is ran this way and I ran into all of these issues because the owner is a fraud and can't keep a consistent offering. You're guaranteed to have this guy change his entire deal mid conversation without warning, it's pretty bizarre. This behavior spills over into the staff heavily and Integrity is completely lost at this place. Imagine being me and going through this and STILL not having a fixed guitar because they fucked it up! Ken wants to talk about his vintage instruments and how perfect they are while my instrument is ruined because of your trash-bin "luthier". Imagine this as well, having the title "Christian" attached to your name and your background but then doing this to a customer. Dishonor upon your head, you read something wrong, so own up to it and keep your word. If you know you errored, man up and say I'll pay the price for the full refret. You just got done agreeing to pay $300 because that's what you believed was the price for a full refret. You'd adjust and pay the $550 if you actually had integrity. It's not my problem you cannot read. You're just a wishy washy dude and that's as slimy as it gets. The next time you preach a message you go ahead and think about how you screwed me over and put that fake smile on having others believe you're a good guy. You're unfit and unworthy of owning a guitar shop and being behind any pulpit with the way you mislead customers. Do the people you preach to know your business practices? I think they'd find you better off on mute if they knew, bud. Notice in our text messages I never accepted or denied your offer, you made the decision on your own to remove it. You're a phony and you ruined my guitar! Thanks a lot, asshole! Notice this clown says in response to my review that the communication became no longer "constructive". No, what happened was I called you out for being a fraud and reneging and it became inconvenient for you so you bailed. Ken, you didn't offer anything past the original work, you reneged to 3 frets after offering a full refret because you're a cheap bastard. You literally cannot stop lying, dude. You're scummy. Your customers will become 0 customers in no time. The original owner of this place is tossing and turning in the ground watching Ken destroy this business. You see Ken's lies in real time, people who read this review. Ken refunded me $60 for the "work" they did aka fucking up my guitar and now it's going to cost me hundreds because of this asshole. Refunding me my original payment doesn't fix the damaged you caused, you little punk bitch.

Eddie is a great teacher, a mild mannered gentleman and a terrific technician. He taught me the basic 13, then 26 and eventually about 100 rudiments and their variations. I am to this day a very decent drummer with a strong foundation to which I credit Eddie's thorough, fun and interesting style of instruction. He also prepared me for the Indiana State Music contest way back then and I took home a second place medal. Another student of his that year, a much better reader and technician than me, took home the first place medal. I went on to play professionally for years, had a Pearl Drum Endorsement in the early 70's and even did a stint on Broadway, in NYC in the pit orchestra doing 7 Brides for 7 Brothers, starring Debbie Boone, following the national tour. I still play occasionally, at 74, here in Las Vegas, Nevada in a big band. I credit much of my career and ability to the best drum teacher in the business, Mr. Eddie Knight.
