I was looking for a very specific guitar though which I couldn't find anywhere else, a Breedlove Pursuit Exotic S CE Blackberry. I have a Breedlove Discovery S so I knew I would like the way it played, but getting the cutaway in Blackberry was an almost impossible find. My usual Breedlove dealer in Springfield, MO didn't have it and I couldn't locate it anywhere in Arizona. Breedlove themselves didn't have it in stock anymore and couldn't give an eta on when they would produce more. Finding one online was my only option at this point which you can imagine raised all sorts of concerns. Would it arrive with a decent set up on it, or would I have to go spend another eighty bucks to get it set up? What if it was cracked, scratched, nicked or dinged. What if it as obviously used? It arrived in a timely manner and as I unboxed it I did so half expecting there to be an issue on one of these subjects. I am so happy to say that Elderly totally nailed it!! There was nothing wrong with it at all. It came with new strings and had clearly never been played before. There weren't any scratches or dings and it was set up perfectly right out of the box. I bought from Elderly because I didn't have any other way of getting this particular guitar. I went into it with admittedly low expectations but they totally knocked it out of the park! Way to go guys.

I purchased a guitar on March 27, 2025 at the Lansing, Michigan Guitar Center…read more Guitar: Cordoba C12 CD Today's date: April 23, 2025 The sales associate who entered the sale was apparently a trainee, since she had a trainer/manager talking her through the POS procedure. The guitar was in need of setup. Action was too high and the body was covered with greasy handprints. I never even took the guitar home. It hadn't left the store, yet. The trainer told me that they only had two part-time repair techs and it would probably be two weeks before my guitar was ready. I called Wednesday, April 9 around 5:00 PM to find out the status. It seems that, when I called, they were down to only one part-time tech. Also, after two weeks there were still 8 guitars in the queue ahead of mine, and the part-time tech had no sure idea when he would get to mine. "Monday or Wednesday of next week?" I gathered those are the two days he works. On Wednesday, April 16, the tech called me to tell me that the setup was done, but... Oh, no. Apparently, a new employee, now ex-employee, carelessly placed something heavy on the shelf above the workbench where my guitar was being set up. It fell on the guitar and damaged the top. He said he would fix it for free. I said that I wasn't happy with that, since my NEW guitar had never left the store and it was now a "damaged" new guitar that I paid full price for. To Fish's credit, when he realized that, he spoke to the manager about getting me a new guitar. She agreed, but it had to be ordered because they didn't have another one in the store. Fish said three to five days for it to come in, and he would set it up as soon as it did. Buying a guitar should not be this hard. I paid over $2000 for a guitar I haven't been able to take home and play, yet. I am not happy. I can't be upset with the tech, since he can only do so much in the time he has available. The fact that this store is working with only one part-time tech IS upsetting, given that they continue to sell guitars that they can't service. As of April 23, nearly four weeks since I first purchased the new guitar that was later damaged at the store, the replacement still hasn't been ordered. I have had enough and will travel to the two hours to the store to get a refund. No stars for Lansing Guitar Store 324.

I had visited Reeder many years ago, and was completely amazed at the quality of his used and rebuilt pianos, but that was before all that shopping, and 10 or 15 years ago. Was his work really that good? I returned, and there on the shop floor was a gorgeous rebuilt 100-year-old Mason-Hamlin BB! I couldn't stop playing it, even though I loved several other pianos he had there. I might have bought it, but it was black and the one I own is mahogany and matches my other furniture, so I sent my mahogany monster off to him for rebuilding, trusting him to do as beautiful a job on mine as the one in the shop. My trust was well-placed. I have had the piano back for a year now; plenty of time for defects to become apparent. There have been none. I am completely delighted with the work, from the finish to the tone to the action. The regulation is where most rebuilt pianos disappoint, and this has been absolutely spectacular. After hundreds of hours of playing, it remains wonderfully responsive, even and easy to play. Mr. Reeder has a small crew of long-time employees, but insists on transporting the pianos himself and observing the local moving crew. My 1100-lb piano made it from Lansing, Michigan to Chicago and up to my 3rd floor apartment without a hitch. I'm sure Mr. Reeder's presence had something to do with that.

I had to call multiple times the morning of my move after multiple confirmations prior. They told me they had no move prior to me that day and showed up with a rented truck and very few pads to wrap my furniture, which were requested in advance multiple times prior to my move. The owner was the only effective mover. He brought two others workers and I literally ran circles around one of them, as he put his monster energy drink on my antique furniture multiple times. It was very frustrating to watch the crew move my items, bumping into walls, set drinks on my furniture and not wrap my furniture, as requested prior to moving items. I had much better success with the big companies that are local movers. The prices were also better with other moving companies. When they went to close out my transaction at the end of my move, they forgot about my $100 initial deposit as well as miscommunicated the dollar amount giving me multiple prices. I will not use this company again and was not pleased with my experience.
