Having called ahead to…read moreconfirm inventory, they were ready for us when we arrived and set up in a private studio room both a white Music Man Kaizen and a Gibson J-45 I had asked about (pretty diverse, huh?). Then Fred did a great job ordering the "Kryptonite" color Kaizen for us and in particular was able to secure the lighter weight guitar from the two on hand in the warehouse. Then the day the guitar arrived the store manager, Jim, called to make sure we were all good! Yes, yes we are ALL good. Truthfully, some Guitar Center stores have a spotty reputation but the Clearwater store is top shelf with us and I am here to spread the word!

Within 5 minutes of showing Lee, he says, 'dude, who reshimmed your neck? you play slide?' I said NO! To get this Taylor tuned up, Lee: unshimmed neck, installed custom bone nut (high E and B were buzzing), took down saddle height (to accommodate an under saddle piezo pickup I installed), and installed new Gotoh tuners. In one week's time at reasonably low prices for such high-end craftmanship, this 714 plays better than new!! RECOMMENDED!!

They decide to ship both guitars together not telling me until I saw the tracking number. 2 very fragile guitars shipped in the same box. One of the guitars had damage to the body because I asked them to loosen the strings to relieve tension on neck during shipping.

I had to have Reverb step in to issue a partial refund because seller refused to acknowledge what they did. They act very unprofessional, see photos of Reverb messages and feedback left from seller. I Do Not Recommend buying any guitars from this shop!
