It's small but mighty and they pack a lot into their limited square footage. The first thing I noticed when we walked in are all the pedals. I never realized how fun and colorful these are until we went into the shop and saw them all displayed on the wall. I usually notice them on the floor of some grungy rock venue stage and never appreciated how aesthetically awesome they are (a few months later I would go on to make my husband a guitar pedal birthday cake and I 100% credit Rusty's for the inspiration). I was also informed that in addition to aesthetics, the pedals themselves were top notch. The guitars themselves are high end and really beautiful and unique. It's not a place you get your first guitar. But if you're a connoisseur, collector, or just admirer of the instrument you should definitely check the place out.

I've been a customer of Mike at the co-op for about ten years. There's a bunch to say, I'll give…read morethree examples of Mike's integrity, graciousness and supportiveness. On my 30th birthday, I bought a thirty year old Yamaha from Mike - it called to me. Somebody had sold it to him, and he had fixed it up nicely. I played it unplugged for a few years and loved it. When I started playing plugged up, it had some issues, so i took it to the co-op for an operation. I expected to and was willing to pay for whatever needed done to get the pickup working properly. Mike remembered me buying the guitar and (after two years- with no promise or warrantee) insisted there would be no charge. Wow! I'm an unnoteworthy gigging musician, and sometimes I don't plan ahead. Mike will leave a pack of strings hidden for me to pay for later if I can't make it to him before 5. My friend Shelby told me today that Mike has come to the shop on Sunday- his only day off to help a musician for a gig. Wow! I had scooted in the door just before 5 yesterday for some strings. There was a young couple with maybe a 5 year old. It was literally 4:58. I had forgotten my wallet. Mike tossed me some strings on honor system, I played a cool new (used) j-45AG. I left at 5:05 - on a Saturday - Mike's only weekend night. He was patiently still helping this family with information about their first guitar. They had told him they weren't buying today, he didn't care. He wanted to accommodate and nurture new musicians. Holy crap! What a guy! What a shop! And....
