P.S. when i got my amp back it had a noticeably large chip on the side of it that i know for a damn fact i did not do. how this guy is not out of business yet i will never understand.

Which was great to offer same day service , I appreciated that.

Also , had no idea so many people have guitar issues --- it was a constant stream of people showing up with very fancy guitars , who knew , what an experience.

Texted Jeremy to ask about guitar refinishing on a burn for a soldering iron and he got back to me…read morevery quickly! Response time was great and he was very patient and personable and really took the time to answer my question as well as being honest that the instrument may not be work refinishing for such a small and unnoticeable blemish. I love that honesty because even if he doesn't get the job I can tell he's trustworthy and willing to tell me what is real and that makes me want to give him business later as well as recommend the shop. He gave me a reasonable estimate and when he was unsure he told me he would check with another luthier to make sure there was nothing he was missing in his suggestions. Overall great communication and real nice service! Would highly recommend for a quote and speed of response!

He actually followed up with me right after my last update and offered to meet with me to take care of it but it took me a while to get over there so the delay was my fault. I also think in all fairness that I should have made one more attempt to let him resolve the situation as he offered to do before writing the last update, but I just didn't have time to deal with it. In any case I met with Joe today, he checked out the guitar, made some adjustments on how the strings were installed and told me if it didn't solve the problem he would take greater steps to do what it takes to make sure it's working properly, and I believe that if it's not resolved he will. He also reaffirmed my initial perception that he's a really good guy, and the guitar is the coolest travel guitar I've ever seen - If you want one that doesn't have tinny sound, can be easily stowed in airplane overhead compartments without worrying about damage, and can be easily carried around - this is your guitar.
