I had an incredible experience at Murphy's Guitars in Bountiful and felt like I needed to share it…read more I drove over an hour from Coalville after getting some pretty discouraging news from another shop about my Gibson J-45. They told me the truss rod was maxed out and that I'd have to drop down to 11s, which honestly felt like a gut punch after everything I'd invested in that guitar. On a whim, I stopped into Murphy's since they're a Martin dealer and I wanted to try a D-28. Not only did they take the time to talk with me and let me play, but they were genuinely friendly, engaged, and clearly passionate about guitars and music. I didn't feel rushed or like a burden at all -- which is rare these days. When I mentioned my issue, they offered to take a look. The owner, Wes Dodson, personally stepped in and checked out my J-45. Within minutes, he did what the first shop didn't -- properly adjusted and freed up the truss rod, got it functioning again, and set the guitar up the way it should have been in the first place. He got my guitar playing perfectly with the 13s I wanted, with great action and feel. Total night-and-day difference. I can't say enough about the level of care, honesty, and skill I experienced here. These guys know what they're doing, and more importantly, they actually care. Murphy's Guitars has absolutely earned my business going forward. If you're anywhere in Utah and need a shop you can trust, this is the place.

He showed us the different options for the tools we'd need. He explained the process and encouraged us to keep at it. I liked that he didn't just say "it's harder than it looks.

He didn't charge us for them, he just wants us to be successful. I really appreciated his guidance.

There was a nice lady who pointed me in the right direction and gave me a little guidance, as much as she could without knowing what I needed either. In the end, I bought a gift certificate and booked a time to come back with my son to try out some instruments. The service was friendly and the atmosphere was upbeat. Not being a musical being myself, I was surrounded by foreign objects-but from the looks of it, I would say this place caters more to students rather than professionals. However, if you're looking for something beyond learner-level, they can get ahold of it for you.
