No knocks, since parking was in front at no cost. Try that elsewhere! A great deal for guitar and band fans. Need more of these elsewhere in the vicinity.

I've bought Warmoth guitar parts for over 10 years. I've built 3 guitars and 1 bass and each…read moreexperience has been fantastic. However, customers have to warned: If you are looking for a guitar that just plops together and is ready to play, then buying a fully assembled guitar is more recommended for you. Building a Warmoth is like building a kit car. Yes, the original fit and finish of the parts is perfect, but it must be finessed to be playable. I will order all the parts, assemble them, including the electronics, and then take it to a guitar tech to setup. Since he or she is the expert, they will know where to adjust to make the action, intonation, etc perfect. So spending a few more dollars on the setup is normal. If you want a cheap guitar, buy a Squier. One last thing, Warmoth is more Fender centric, so if you are looking for a neck-thru ESP or a set neck Gibson, by all means, buy an ESP or Gibson since they make fine guitars as well.

Maybe things have been better for other people in recent years. I moved away and haven't been back, so I don't know. Please see previous review for more info. I agree with all the other reviewers about the (usually) friendly employees, great selection of music, harps, etc. Very generous with sharing knowledge, giving advice, etc. Another reviewer is telling me to "Get over it!," so to respond: Yes, all harpists know that strings can break for any reason, or no reason at all. Strings break just because they feel like it. Strings break when you look at them the wrong way. My complaint was that while strings from another store did not break with abnormal frequency, and the old strings on my harp were not breaking with abnormal frequency, the strings I bought from this store did nothing but break. Constantly. In different places on the string, so it wasn't due to a rough edge on the harp or anything. Maybe the strings were old, maybe they were stored in bad conditions, or maybe they were shipped from the manufacturer to the store defective. In the 5/6 years since, I've never had strings that bad, so who knows. If the store cared, they could've gotten back to me and never did, and if they had demonstrated good communication my review would've likely been 4 or 5*. $160 is a pretty penny to waste when you're 22 years-old and making minimum wage.
