I'm having to recalibrate just how little pressure I need to put on the strings.

But when it comes to actual service you gotta be patient. I would tell anyone thinking about buying something there to keep it simple. Know what you want before walking in and don't be swayed by any of the BS corporate upsell and for Heaven's sake find a legit luthier or an independent guitar shop for your service needs. I cringe when I see some of the train wrecks that are working there. 3 stars (on their very best day). If there was a reasonable alternative I wouldn't be writing this.

Aaron has been working on my guitars for a year and a half!…read more From the first time we met, he was warm, professional and knowledgeable, I am a Professional Performing Musician. I used to have my work done at Mike Lulls Guitar Works. When Mike passed, I was desperately looking for a Luthier. When Aaron told me that apprenticed under Mike, I was overjoyed!!! When I initially took my first guitars to Aaron, it was to do some minor "Tweaks". After seeing AND feeling the quality of his work, I ended up taking all of my "Immediate Rotation" of guitars for him to work on!! In closing, Aaron was ALWAYS fair and accommodating. I am still taking my instruments to him! Simply put..... A GREAT LUTHIER!!! Thanks Aaron all of your hard work!!! Craig Coleman
