And when the time comes to switch up your instrument, advising you on the one that best fits your skill and personal style. Way I see it, mastery of an instrument is a multi-year process, and the decisions you make with your local music store over this period are really subtle, but with big impact on your personal vector -- the enjoyment you get from playing and your rate of progress. For example: Which ligature will give me the best jazz sound? Which setup will help keep me precisely in tune when I play classical? Is a key sticking because I have a bad pad, weak spring or is it imperceptibly bent? What's a good piece of upper-register repertoire? For me Blech exactly fits the bill. It's a store I trust, run by musicians for musicians of any skill level.

I purchased one of Matthias Jabs guitars, and Stefan, the manager at MJ Guitars was nice enough to…read morehold the guitar at the store until Matthias came in and signed it. Then the guitar was safely shipped to me in the USA. The guitar was well packed and arrived safely. Stefan was always quick to respond to my emails and transparent to my questions with the information I was seeking. Matthias was also very gracious to sign my guitar and posed with a picture holding it. The guitar I got was a MJ Mastercaster with a beautiful flame Maple neck. It was set-up really nice and sounds like a Stratocaster on Steroids. It is nicely constructed and the Dommenget pickups are superb and the same ones as used by Matthias. I highly recommend MJ Guitars for all your guitar and bass needs while in Germany or ordering from abroad one of Matthias' custom build guitars!!!
