Really nice guy, high quality work, if anything I think he charges too little. Tom routed out a…read moreGibson Les Paul to install a 3rd pickup and I don't even think Gibson could tell it was not a factory job. Tom has installed a slip stone nut on another Gibson Les Paul, new pickups into a third, done a few set up jobs for me before I learned to do it myself, and recently re-wired and potted an old 1978 Gibson SG. The only bad thing about Tom is he usually has 3 or 4 weeks of work ahead of him, so you do have to wait a while for the work to get done. As long as he is in business I will take my guitars to no one else.

I've been taking amps and pedal boards to Uncle Albert's since 2007. My brand new Fender Twin…read morearrived damaged, he fixed it under warranty, no charge. I turned my Marshall TSL up to 10 one night and literally burned it up (dimmed all the lights in the house, heard a pop, no sound, then smelled smoke). He had to clean up the board inside due to carbon deposits, replaced a power transformer, soldered in a number of capacitors, etc. and re-tubed it. He charged me about the same as if I bought the parts and did it myself. He fixed a couple of Vox Tonelab effects pedals for me. The last repair (12/2025) was on my Marshall JVM 410H that had a lot of noise. The tubes were fine, so he had to go over every component, every circuit, to eventually find it to be a $3 capacitor. What he charged me was way under what his time was worth, it plays beautifully now. He even texted me this morning to make sure the amp played well last night. Kevin doesn't just fix the problem, he goes over the entire amp, cleans all the electronics, even wraps up the freeking cord like it came new. I won't take my amps anywhere else.

As mentioned, the owner's a little quirky. I think he means well, but doesn't know as much about guitars as he'd like. And he gets pretty defensive if he's not the one in the know on something. That's not the end of the world. But it's an odd experience in an exclusively USED instrument store. Because those of us who have been playing and collecting for decades are going to come in and occasionally have a little more knowledge on something obscure they've got in, etc. If someone with gray hair who knows how to disassemble and review an instrument comes in, it behooves you to trust that he understands it. They stand by their own intake inspection to a fault. If you find something they missed on their intake inspection--even if it's glaring like the guitar doesn't make sound when plugged in--then you've got an uphill battle to prove your case even if you haven't left the store with the instrument yet. If you're looking for a deal on something generic, I think this place will get you through alright. If you're collecting, then this place is probably going to weird you out a little.

If you're looking for instruction, you can either receive it here in the store (there are closet-sized, but serviceable, studios in the back), or the delightful owner will help you find it, if he doesn't already offer it on your desired instrument.

Walking into the store is like into a music museum, and I mean that in only the BEST of ways. You'll find not only new instruments, but instruments of varying vintage. And it's not just guitars...you're likely to find a harp, or a dulcimer, or a dobro...or things I've never even heard of. Not only do they have a lot of merchandise, Robert knows about every piece in the shop. Friendly and helpful, I've found him to always go the extra mile to find that that special piece you're looking for. Drop by About Music. Plan to stay a while and just soak up the atmosphere. You'll not regret it.
