    I bought a G&L from these guys on Reverb, and I couldn't be happier! Their service and the quality…read moreof the instrument are both equally outstanding. In the future I will happily give them my business again, and would recommend them to anyone who loves guitar and is looking for an experienced, kind, trustworthy seller. I've never had a vintage guitar arrive in such great condition and with a killer setup, too. Thanks again!!

    I think the store is great and they had really great vintage guitars, amps, and other. It kind of…read moresucks though. I took an amp in and gave them time to work on it since I didn't need it. Picked it up and didn't have time to test it since I had to get to work. Got home and plugged it in and it was dead. I gave them a call and ended up with someone on the line. He was like "did you plug it in to the wall"(come on) "did you turn it on"(duh) "is the red light on in the front?(hmmm). I was a little frustrated by this. I told him I do understand the basic operation of my vintage amp and was like "I was told you guys were like the best Fender Amp Repair guys around here." He started yelling and screaming and I tried to say something but he just kept yelling and called me an asshole and hung up. I realized that he was the owner, I mean THE OWNER, damn. In the end they must of yanked the cord out of the socket since that was the power issue so I had to replace the "original part" - then once I powered it up one of the new tubes pretty much almost exploded it powered up so fast and blew it self. They were supposed to replace two power tubes and bias them but what they did was switch the tubes around so that one of the old tubes was with the new tube and the other new tube was with the old tube completely unbiased(Fender Twin) So now I had to get a new matched set of power tubes due to the damage. Finally they also wired up and did not remount the reverb tank correctly(how do you do that). I lost a lot of money considering I paid them maybe around 350$+ for the work and then had to get new tubes and pretty much fixing it myself. I wish this would of worked out better cause I really liked the place and would of definately(sp) bought equipment from them. Now I really have no where to go, Except Daves and they're work was great once and bad the next time. So hard to find a descent tech, I guess people sometimes get in a hurry on a Friday to go get some beer or they give it to a less experienced tech and no one watches over their work. Or they just don't have a clue. I like to pay people to do a good job so it supports the music community. Also I like to play music rather than sit around soldering parts. Oh well.

    Really nice people, excellent service and work. Good pricing for setups and string changes…read more Your instrument will thank you

    The explanation about a "loose jack" causing the scratches is not accurate. That jack broke nearly…read more20 years ago and has been in the case ever since without ever causing damage. The previous vendor did not remove it -- he only cleaned the current one and changed strings -- so it was still installed when I brought the guitar to your shop. The scratches appeared only after this repair, and the pattern is straight, parallel, and directional. This is consistent with a capo being slid on a Parker Fly neck, which has an extremely thin finish and is very easy to scratch. It is not consistent with a small metal jack bouncing randomly in a case compartment. The case itself closes extremely tight -- tight enough that you can see the strings pressing into the lid padding. A loose jack in a plastic bag could not physically jump over the divider and wedge itself against the neck without preventing the case from closing. The idea that a two‑decade‑old jack somehow moved into the neck space is not realistic. The scratches are also located at very specific musical positions: the 5th, 7th, and 9th frets. A random loose part would not create evenly spaced marks exactly at common capo positions. That pattern is intentional movement, not accidental contact. The video does not show the moment the guitar was first removed from the case, nor the initial handling, so it cannot establish when the scratches occurred. The apprentice strumming the guitar without permission is also concerning. I did not approve of random strangers or employees playing my guitar and using a capo. Based on the timeline, the physics, the case design, and the nature of Parker Fly finishes, I stand by my review.
