So i took my Tele, Player II modified, in for a tune up... I bought it at Guitar Center and i got a…read moregreat price but it need some work... the frets stood out a bit, some of the frets were rough and needed polishing and the action was a little high... This is high end local shop and it was recommended by Fender as a place to get great service. I dropped it off early July and was told i would get it back around early August. No big deal to me I was in no rush. Its not a large location (located in a small strip mall). The shop is very nicely kept but all the guitars have string locks on them so there is no casual picking up guitars here. They have a great selection. I went by today to pick up my guitar and paid $90 for the tune-up and presumably a new set of strings, which I was told would be replaced. I got home and plugged in and in less that 5 minutes of playing my fingers were black from the strings! The strings had a weird feel to them I don't know what brand they use but it would not be a brand I would purchase. In previous setups at other shops the tech would always ask what type of strings i would like to have as replacements... this was not offered; my mistake for not specifying but considering it was a higher end i was guessing they would use better strings... Some of my frets are still rough so I don't know why they were skipped. The action itself did not appear to have been worked on at all... Overall, this was not a stellar experience here. My search for a tech goes on... word to the wise.... make a written list of what you want done if you have your guitar worked on here...

I can't recommend this shop for someone new to violins who needs help deciding on a violin…read more Reviews are wonderful for luthiery, and I'm sure they are warranted. I'm not at all commenting about the likely wonderful work and repairs. I was hoping to get advice on what to look for in a violin. What wood, what features, what to avoid, what separates price points. I did say that as well. I was shown a violin and told that it was $560. Ok. Then I was shown one that was $720. Then 2 more in about the $1.500 range. Oooook, sooooo..... What was special? What are the differences? No information offered. I went in looking to walk out with a violin. Just ended up walking out. Disappointed for having driven in traffic to be there at a quiet time. I guess it's online for me, as much as I prefer shopping locally. Was it my sweatpants? Maybe I didn't look the part.

I am very pleased with my progress during these last two years. I have had years of piano lessons and voice lessons from a number of excellent teachers. I rank Sean among the best of them despite being the youngest. I think his relative youth is actually a wonderful asset. His enthusiasm for guitar music and performance certainly shows. He always understands and relates the difficulties I face to his own experiences and quickly suggests proven ways to address those issues. I believe it is because he is not that far removed from his own learning experiences. It is always comforting to know that my issues are not unique, and just as importantly, I now have proven methods to overcome those difficulties. I also want to mention that Sean is extremely attentive during lessons and very quick to catch my errors or issues, and suggest corrective remedies. As a consequence, I have been able to make steady progress during the last two years. As a person, I found Sean to be level headed, well rounded and mature beyond his years. I always enjoy conversations with him about diverse subjects. It is an important consideration because some light diversion can restore balance when the learning gets too intense. His teaching style is mellow, sometimes funny, even though he is direct and exacting. So I always look forward to the learning experience instead of fearing it. After two years, I can now perform a number of my favorite songs to my own satisfaction. I am in the process of putting together my first performance portfolio, and will perform at an Open Mic with Sean in a week. In summary, if you are serious about learning or improving your guitar skills, you will do very well by engaging Sean as your teacher.

Then as I looked around, he took me on a tour of his mini museum of turntables and audio equipment. Bob and his shop are worth the trip! It is old school and part of a time when people went to their local stereo store. Actually, while I was there a gentleman walked into the shop and mentioned that he used to visit the shop every week when he was in college. Good stuff! He also sells Denon, Yamaha and Music Hall stereo equipment. Don't expect a big box or a high end audiophile store. Expect a shop that's been around for 60 years and a sole proprietor that has been there and seen that. It's a great resource, don't miss it.
