I moved to Asheville and had a couple guitars in need of repairs. On the recommendation of a music associate, I connected with "The Guitar Witch." Dropped of a couple instruments for a thorough inspection and / or any repairs or parts replacements. The Guitar Witch is one of few Luthiers I unequivocally recommend.

It's like a guitar, or a dulcimer, that's made compact and out of wood with steel strings. It sounds like it's tuned so that it's fairly easy to play. When we went by checking out his store, the dude cranks up his Woodrow and puts on a little concert. It's hard to miss while walking through the central corridor of the Grove Arcade. The shop is well lit, and the products are displayed thoughtfully. I could tell that each of these instruments are handmade, as he had a sort of workshop going to work on these instruments.

Music shops tend to be very intimidating to someone like me because the staff don't take you seriously if you don't speak their lingo. I must admit that we walked in feeling like this was going to be just another bad experience like we've had at other well known guitar stores in Greenville, where you can't find anything and nobody seems interested in helping you. Imagine our surprise when my husband and I walked into Eastside Guitars and Drums and were immediately greeted by the warm and friendly, Bobby Bass. He took the time to carefully listen and immediately showed us a couple of his favorite guitars that met the parameters of what I was looking for. You know how there's that "sweet spot" between being ignored or being stalked by a salesperson? Bobby knows that spot. He's very intuitive and at the ready to help you, while at the same time giving you all the space and time you need to enjoy the hunt alone. We went into this store to see if they worked on guitars (yes, they have a professional luthier at the ready) and to see what they carried as far as guitars and drums since I like to play both. The store was squeaky clean, set up in a way that felt like a candy shop for musicians, and Bobby's helpful and friendly attentiveness to us made me want to do more than have a guitar repaired. There's a level of trust and confidence here that made us want to purchase new. And so, we did! I found a guitar that I absolutely love, and once that happened, I was ready to upgrade my amp as well. I've never felt less pressured to buy something and had someone be as genuinely interested in the craft and in helping others to find the instrument that will bring them personal joy. I'm looking forward to checking out their snares the next time I go in. In the meantime, I'm loving this new baby! There's a reason these guys have been here a long time. If you are interested in music and you haven't visited yet, you owe it to yourself to check out Eastside Guitar and Drum.
