Matt Wright is a consummate professional, very like-able and approachable. I bought a couple of mid-level guitars and he went through them with a fine tooth comb, found a few electrical issues and repaired everything as if I was going into Battle with these babies. I also purchased two Matt Wright hand-wired, one-of-a-kind pedals. The Fuzz-Stang and a custom Super Boost!! Of course I would use Matt again. I would be crazy not too! Thanks again Matt for giving me great service and for being the type of person that I can trust with my gear! Kind appreciations Shad Hills https://www.facebook.com/shadhillsofficial

I am an over 70, rusty guitar player, and while I performed in several bands throughout my life,…read moreguitar was never my instrument... I was always the keyboardist. That said, I plunked and strummed as a sideline, mostly to entertain myself. In recent years, I decided that hauling around a keyboard was just too much work. I wanted something that I could carry up and down stairs and toss in the back of the car. I had a 55-year-old acoustic guitar that had seen better days, but it was also an old friend that I did not want to say goodbye to, so I went to a local music store to see if there was anything they could do to it to get it in better playing condition. While it exceeded their repair department's capabilities, they did recommend Rick Reiss, and Advanced Guitar Repair. They gave me his card. I called him and an appointment. I knew when I walked into his shop that I had made the right choice. There were so many tools, all of them organized and ready to use. There were specialty tools as well. Some I did not recognize. It was obvious Rick knew what he needed to do his job. He quickly assessed my guitar and admitted that while he could restore it to a satisfactory and playable condition, the work required would be both extensive and expensive and unless I wanted to have it done for sentimental reasons, I might be better off putting the funds towards a new guitar. Which is exactly what I did. While I appreciate the famous names in guitar brands, spending thousands of dollars for a great guitar at this stage of my life did not make sense. I decided on two good quality mid-range instruments... a Taylor acoustic and an Epiphone electric. I took both to Advanced Guitar Repair. The way I looked at it, with Rick's expertise, I can have the playability of a $3000 guitar for a third of the price. Not to mention that a $3000 guitar would still need some amount of setup to play as well. Rick asked how I wanted them to play and let me sample his guitars to help me decide. Now my acoustic has the action and playability of an electric and the electric plays like butter! In case you like technical specs, he did fret leveling, replaced the nut (with bone), and did all the steps of a standard guitar setup. With my arthritis, I prefer lighter gauge strings. Rick did all his work to accommodate my choice. I was (and am) blown away by the improvements. I could not be happier with the results. If you are thinking about getting work done on your guitar, I highly recommend Advanced Guitar Repair. Just be aware that Rick is both meticulous about his craft and very, very busy... meaning don't expect overnight results. You can't rush art.

I was VERY impressed with my visit to Centaur Guitar! Selection is HUGE (much larger than one…read morewould expect when looking at it from the outside), the staff is EXTREMELY knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly, and prices are LOW. They carry a huge variety of electric guitars, acoustic guitars, amplifiers, and accessories. They also offer setup and repair services. They sell both new and used items. Their used items were unanimously in extremely great condition, and did not appear to be used. A few things to note if you visit: *There is a small, private parking lot *The entrance on the building that is on the same side of the gate as the parking lot is not actually for Centaur Guitar, it is for an amplifier repair service that shares the building. *The entrance for Centaur Guitar is on the street side of the building, past the parking lot gate. *To enter, one must ring the doorbell, and an employee will open the door to let you in *There are no centaurs available for sale

It's hard to purchase a guitar online, but Bob took the time to share everthing I needed to know about the guitar. When the guitar arrived, it was even better than I hoped.

I left my amp there, asked them to give me an estimate of what it would cost. Instead they called me and said the repair was done, without having agreed on a price. Then he implied he did me a favor by doing that because he was so busy, and berated me over the phone. I picked up the amp, paid his unreasonable fee, and it was not even fixed. Terrible. Absolutely terrible. Worst 'service' i have ever experienced.

Now, I am a complete musical novice, so it was nice to talk to the owner, who knew what the heck I needed and helped me find the right type of strings for my Schecter Damien Platinum-6 Special. Unfortunately I failed to grab his name, but his friendly and welcoming demeanor seemed heartfelt, in a way that most retail experiences lack, such that I don't see myself shopping elsewhere in the future for my musical needs. While Gresham is a little out of the way, I'd rather reward small business excellence over commercial convenience any day of the week. Sure, I only purchased two sets of strings, but my five-minute foray here was more impactful than any shopping experience in recent memory. I will definitely be back!
