I had originally discovered this company years ago and formed a outstanding relationship with the owner, Gordon. I drove over there the other day because I definitely wanted to give Gordon's cause a donation. Gordon does this thing which is called "Guitars for our Troops". He sends out Guitar's to people in the military that are at war, want to learn how to play guitar or some even have PTSD and finding a way thru music helps calm the nerves and chases out some of those demons. Gordon ended up buying his own building and moved to this larger place a couple years ago. As I visit often, I just love to go in and talk to Gordon and see all the instruments although I play none. I went the other day and was very happy to see JP who sometimes works out of there, he does private guitar lessons and was my daughters first and only guitar instructor. Gordon is working towards turning this amazing building into an instrument Museum, I know he will get it done. Our family had decided to donate our old Victrola that has been in the family for years.

TLDR: Spampinato guitars is the best luthier and guitar retailer I have ever worked with, 10/10 -…read moreif you don't bring your guitar/bass here for work you're making a mistake. ---- I've been a regular customer of Mason, Matt and Charlie for 2 years. I run a small studio near city park that has 8 guitars that need maintenance, they've worked on all of them. I've always had an interest in guitar building and maintenance - so I've worked with and learned from many luthiers over the years. There is a difficult balance in experience and skillset where you need someone who 1) understands the dynamics and malleability of wood on a deep level 2) understands the tertiary skills needed for guitar maintenance (finishing, fretboard inlays, soldering/electronics, etc.) and 3) *actually plays the instrument at an almost professional level so they understand the balance of playability and tone, especially in relation to different techniques for playing bass or guitar - like slide, slap bass, etc. All three professionals at Spampinato hit that balance perfectly. *Their set ups are so fucking good, I've had professional musicians with custom basses pick up my cheap Squire JP and say they want to buy it because it "plays amazingly"*. In reality, it's just properly set up. I've recently enrolled in their guitar building workshop and seen firsthand how Matt and Mason approach guitar building and maintenance. It's clear that they've researched common techniques and, when they deviate, have clear reasoning and are trying to always provide the best outcome for the customer. They are also patient and have had no hesitation answering my litany of questions. I've referred over half a dozen other musicians to their shop and each one has had a phenomenal experience. If you're able to work with Mason, Matt or Charlie and you go somewhere else you're spoiling a phenomenal opportunity and making a mistake.

Bill has a deep understanding of a wide range of genres and playing styles, which lets him tailor lessons to your musical interests. This is immensely important for a beginning musician: if things aren't engaging, there's no reason to keep coming back to the instrument. I studied with Bill from age 10-16. In that time, Bill taught me to read music and tablature; to play scales; to understand chord-scale relationships; build chords; understand the fretboard; transcribe (learn music by ear); solo; and accompany soloists...among other things. In five years, I never once felt overly pressured, and never walked away from a lesson without learning something. Beyond even all this, he's super nice and really easy-going. Whenever ANYONE in the Denver metro area asks me to recommend a guitar teacher, I give them Bill's contact information.

Before taking lessons, I had been "self-teaching" myself the guitar, and found myself struggling with rhythm, switching chords, barre chords, learning by ear...

You'll learn songs that YOU enjoy while building skills. Bill is super knowledgeable and can answer any question you throw his way. I definitely recommend his lessons!

I had my clarinet worked on here because my tenon corks became deteriorated. When I got my…read moreclarinet back after repairing the corks a few weeks later, the left-side b key no longer played. I have a fancy Buffet R13 clarinet and their professional clarinetist played it for me and testified to me that it plays great... so when the clarinet stopped functioning after the cork repair, I know exactly what happened and why. Nevertheless this shop was very pissy about taking care of the problem for me and made me pay to have the problem fixed. So I decided okay, I don't give a damn about the money, just fix my instrument. So then after I got the instrument back, the B key is working normally again and the C key on the left-side no longer seals properly. I didn't notice this in the shop when I tried it out because I was just focused on the left-side B key. What a comedy of f@@@ing errors. This store is a disaster. And I regret ever having walked in the door in the first place.
