He restored the pickup and fixed the switch, cleaned up the neck, the guitar has never sounded better and has barely left my hands since I got it back.

The guitar service technician department, however, is not recommended. If you want a large chain type of non-personalized guitar setup with no individualized attention, then it is adequate. But if you're looking for the special care that your instrument deserves, it is not going to happen here, despite what you may read on the website. The owner may have the aptitude and experience, but he is not the one performing the routine work, and there is a disconnect with his oversight as well. Good for shopping, not for service.

If you want something very specific or mainstream, then you're better off going to a Guitar Center. Because they stuff they have here is an amazingly curated smorgasbord of rare, quirky, or otherwise vintage instruments. I stopped in just to check out their acoustic room in the back. Played some guitars, the lone banjo they had, and an acoustic bass. Then went back around to look at all their oddball guitars (in a good way). The guy manning the front desk and helping people out in between doing a guitar setup was super cool to talk to.

I stopped by the store and asked if they had a used cardboard guitar box I could have so I could ship one of my guitars. I wasn't asking for merchandise, a discount, or anything of real value--just a used shipping box. They refused. For a company that has received a significant amount of my business over the years, I was surprised there was so little willingness to help with such a simple request. Customer loyalty should mean something. Maybe losing a longtime customer over a cardboard box isn't a concern for Guitar Center, but it certainly changed how I view the company. After this experience, I'll be taking my future guitar and music purchases elsewhere.

Yes, there is sometimes longer than normal wait times, but it's worth it. There have been a few times when I've asked, "I know it's only 4 days away, but I need this set up by Thursday" and it's done, so when he takes a while to set up one of basses, I don't fret. He's also done a lot of custom work for me and I'm always happy. Matt also built my #1. Any questions about pedals, Jimmy's your man. I recently rehabbed my pedal board and Jimmy helped me put it together right at the counter. To the those who feel the place is "kinda cliquey", the guys know their customers. So while it might feel a little intimidating to new comers, bring in your gear, get to know the guys and you'll be treated right.

That all changed today. First time in this location, and I'm kicking myself for not stopping here sooner. I've driven past this particular store hundreds of times, but never stopped until today. First observation: this particular store has one of the better layouts I have seen as far as Guitar Center stores go. The space is massive, and everything is easy to find. The store has ample staff, all of whom are eager to help. Despite a large crowd on a busy Saturday, lines were moved quickly and customers were all attended to. Staff was incredibly friendly and struck up conversation about making music. From a drummer's perspective, this place was a jackpot. Nearly half the store was drums. I was thrilled to find a massive snare drum wall, including vintage snares. Cymbal room selection was impressive. Lots of new and second-hand drum kits to see. E-drum selection was massive and had something for everyone's budget. Where the store truly shined was with their ample parts, accessories, and tools for drummers. This is lacking in many other locations. Picked up some things I needed and fair prices (LESS than Amazon!). The staff, again, were pleasant and kind. That makes a huge difference in and of itself. Store was clean and well-organized. This is my new store for buying in-person. Period.
