I took my guitar to in to get set up and didn't break the bank like I would have with the other two music stores in town. He also has a sweet selection of guitars that you can rent to own! And a chill dog just hanging out dogging around! Go here before you you spend too much money to not get your gear back for a week. I think he even has jam sessions but I've yet to make it to one because I'm terrible at music. But he does give lessons which I might try to get into. All in all kick butt place. Highly recommended if you're a guitar or bass player.

I found them very friendly, easy to work with and committed to setting up the instrument just how I like it.

It's small but mighty and they pack a lot into their limited square footage. The first thing I noticed when we walked in are all the pedals. I never realized how fun and colorful these are until we went into the shop and saw them all displayed on the wall. I usually notice them on the floor of some grungy rock venue stage and never appreciated how aesthetically awesome they are (a few months later I would go on to make my husband a guitar pedal birthday cake and I 100% credit Rusty's for the inspiration). I was also informed that in addition to aesthetics, the pedals themselves were top notch. The guitars themselves are high end and really beautiful and unique. It's not a place you get your first guitar. But if you're a connoisseur, collector, or just admirer of the instrument you should definitely check the place out.
