I have never had anyone able to discuss the importance of strings with particular brands and models as well as what certain type of pics can do for alternating sounds. After an in-house tech shaved nearly 1/ quarter of an inch too much off my brand new Martin after a horrible set up, Steve brought it back. It sounds better than the first day I bought it. He's taken my old Gibson and found issues which I was not aware and given it volume and tone I could never have imagined it was capable.

I all but gave up on the thing until my friends told me about Cranky's. For a very reasonable fee, Greg worked on the frets, tremolo, tuning heads, saddles, and gave it a thorough cleaning. She now plays BETTER than in 1995, and I'm happy to report has taken its place as my main axe again! As far as I'm concerned, this is the only place that I will trust with my dearest guitars. Many thanks to Greg!

I contacted Gary recently regarding an acoustic guitar I had recently purchased. I had fret buzz…read moreup and down the neck that appeared from out of nowhere which I had attributed to the change in seasons. I reached out to Gary after seeing him listed here on Yelp. Before charging me any money, Gary suggested trying a low-dough remedy which I tried. The issue persisted so I contacted Gary on Christmas Day via email. He got back to me very quickly and was able to accommodate a last second repair just in time for a gig I had. Not only that but the expert repair that he performed was done AHEAD of schedule and at a VERY reasonable rate. I definitely recommend Gary for your guitar maintenance and repair needs. He's friendly, trustworthy and knows what he's doing. If you're in the Pepperell, Ashby, Townsend, Lunenburg, Fitchburg, Ashburnham areas, do yourself a favor and give him a try. I think you'll be impressed. Thanks Gary!

And if they don't stock something you need, they'll order it for you or point you in the right direction. Alan, the owner, is extremely knowledgeable and helpful if I have questions or need advice. When I came in last year wanting to restore my vintage kit, I had no idea where to start, and Alan helped me through the entire process, from cleaning, de-rusting, to finding missing parts. Whenever I have a problem with my kit or something breaks, I always go to Alan first (it's a good idea to call the store to see when he's working!) Often he'll find a way to fix it without having to purchase new parts. Definitely recommend this gem over bigger places like Guitar Center.
