    I have had multiple guitars setup, repaired and had guitar builds completed by Colfax Guitar. They do quality work, and pricing is reasonable. If you need any work done on an electric, acoustic, or bass, I would highly recommend this shop. I have relocated to PNW and have taken my instruments to them, when I visited, but will have to find repair shop now close to home. David M

    I've owned 100s of guitars over the years. New ones, vintage ones...and everything in between. Most have been serviced either in San Fran by Gary Brauer ( an amazing luthier and good friend), Performance Guitars in La La Land, or in Nashville....blah blah blah. Walking into Colfax Guitar I got a really amazing vibe. I dealt with Christopher and he was patient and extremely knowledgeable of Guitar setup etc. He does not oversell and aims to please. My geetah will not be back for three weeks but I have a funny premonition that its gonna be great. Will let you know.

    Beautiful Guild

    Great shop just picked up this beauty there Christian the owner is awesome to work with they also have a great repair man I can't remember his sorry about that be he is always ready to help definitely be going there soon

    They completely transformed my $5,000 Les Paul R8!!! New ownership, same fantastic work/service! I have a small collection of VERY nice guitars. My R8 is now my favorite...this from a guy who didn't even like Les Paul guitars very much in the first place. Last year, I bought a 50th anniversary Tom Murphy R8 that had already been re-fretted. The frets were too high for my taste. Since they weren't original, I didn't mind changing them out. Boy am I glad I did! I brought it home late last night (they stayed open late for me YMMV) and went to bed without playing it. First thing this morning I plugged it in and oh my lord! This thing nearly plays itself! I am so impressed. Christian - one of the new owners who also makes his own guitars - planed the fretboard, hand shaped a new bone nut, and set this thing up perfectly. I am beside myself at how much better this thing plays. In addition, a couple years ago, I brought them a rare Fender Strat (1 of 125) that has a gorgeous red quilted top that puts most PRS's to shame. There was a 1/2" or so circular gouge in the top that went all the way to the bare wood. It looked like a super model who was missing her front teeth. I left it with these guys for a week or so and when I got it back, I couldn't stop smiling. If I didn't know exactly where to look and what to look for, I would have NEVER known it had been damaged. As you can imagine it is NOT easy to make a repair like that blend in to a top that shows the natural grain of the wood but these guys did it. Thanks Christian! Mark Lavanish.

    Just picked up my Gibson ES-335 from service...hasn't played or sounded this good in years.

    Friendly service, excellent workmanship at a reasonable price. Treated my modest guitars with the same respect as a rare museum specimen.

Tim was a data base of information and extremely helpful for me who had little knowledge of brand and quality for an affordable yet high quality kit. I was sold on a 5pc pdp concept. Along the way he let me know ways I could upgrade the kit to really make this thing sound good. I sprung for zidjian a custom and have never been so happy about springing for extra money then right there fabulous kit. Since then I go to his store 2 times a month roughly to build onto my setup and each time Tim is very helpful and patient with me as I ask him questions. I highly recommend any musician head down here before your generic music store.

His ultimate goal was to get the Zildjian New Beats Carter Beauford rocks. Little did he know that when he walked into this shop, they would have not only 1, but 2 used sets available! He was very pleased to be able to trade some unneeded cymbals and hardware towards the purchase. The shop is jam packed with guitars, drums, and equipment. We found out this store has been here 60 years, with the second generation of the same family owning it. I'm not sure which of the Kae brothers--Jason or Tim--helped us, but it was a pleasure doing business with him.

I spoke to the customer service at headquarters- who was amazing - and said they consider floor models to be new instruments despite all the hands that have handled it, scratched and dents. I originally gave this 1 star but I changed to 3 star because customer service fixed the issue. They sent us a brand new guitar from the warehouse just as we had asked for in the first place. Be aware if you order and it's back ordered or not in stock at the time, you might get a floor model. Except for the back and forth and the hassle of having to return the instrument, I would still shop here.

So many people enjoying music and playing instruments. The selection of guitars and amps was off the hook. Drums, sheet music, accessories and everything in between. They even have areas for instrument repair and music lessons. Everyone seemed like they were happy and really enjoying being in the store. It's clearly a place people like to hang out. A social center of sorts. I liked the fact they had armed security in the parking lot and inside the front door. There simply can't be too much security these days. The parking lot was simple and wee maintained. The staff was friendly bordering on perky. Thumbs up for Guitar Center.
