Even if you believe you are getting top quality service from a local guitar shop / person. I…read moreimplore ya, give Marty a call... I suspect no job is too great. My son recently snapped his first ever epiphone at the neck clean in half. Never had I seen such destruction and much sobbing took place. Just out of curiosity I gave Marty a call, sent him a few pictures of the guitar and asked - what can ya do. We were asking him to resurrect a fairly new instrument, a service request we've never tried before. He said give him 3 weeks. In an almost surreal experience - Marty was able to completely repair the snapped neck, matched colors, parts needed to replace the damaged ones and a coating job that would rival what any manufacturer puts out. I will also say that his charge was LOW. Far far lower than I expected for such a mess of a job. He loved it. My son loved it. We are 100% recommending everyone we know - even for a simple setup - call Marty and enjoy not having to worry if your intonation is right cause you're not a luthier.

I haven't been in every "guitar shop" in Raleigh. I would…read morevisit other shops but I don't have a reason for it. I met Harry Tueting the year he opened Harry's Guitars on Glenwood Avenue near downtown Raleigh. I bought strings and played new guitars I could not buy- no steady job. Still I had a clunker to bang on. I took lessons from Steve Howell in the early years. I met Terry Dineen when he began some years later. He was just a kid but he knew a lot more about guitars than I did. I'd played since I was 12, on cheap guitars, but I played. Thanks to the things I learned through visiting this business, I've developed into a modestly decent player. I've met musicians of every skill level in a place where I feel welcome. I've listened to people crank the amps and play for HOURS. No one ever objected. I know and understand the value of a good guitar. I've bought -and returned- guitars from Harry's. Nobody complained. I read the bad reviews given herein and I am STUNNED. Perhaps the reviewers are (1) upset because they did something out of ignorance and can't get over it or (2) have an ax to grind because they weren't regarded as royalty or (3) are simply mean spirited. I cannot in any way associate anyone I know, or have known, at Harry's Guitars with the ugliness I read in those "reviews". Not under Harry's watch. Not under Scott and Mike's watch. Not in the real world.

He also restores old violins and does a fantastic job. My daughter bought one of his restored violins and the sound was incredible, so much better than a violin that she already had.

I would definitely go back to him... and probably will be soon to get my bow rehaired.

My son is 11 and joining orchestra for the first time. He was fitted properly for a violin and I felt confident in their hands. Some info: Rental: $25 a month and no contract. Debited or credited automatically each month. It came with violin, bow, chin rest, shoulder rest and a case. Not to mention ALL repairs are covered and tuning. The $25 also includes accidental break insurance. Value: 70% of each monthly fee is stored as credit on your account towards a brand new violin. They said it takes approximately 2 years worth to get one! By that time, my son will be able to know if he is committed to the violin and can get his very own. How awesome
