This is a great store and I still buy stuff there to this day. The reason why this isn't a 5 star review is because I was gouged pretty deep for a simple amp repair (noisy input jack) about 10 years ago and the amp repairman gave me a huge attitude when I inquired why it was so expensive. After telling him that I will not be bringing any of my amp repairs the Gary's ever again, he literally shrugged it of with a "win some, lose some" attitude. It isn't his business so why give a care, right P? Anyway, I have stayed true to my claim and haven't had any repairs at Gary's and I strongly urge all my musician friends to not get amp repairs done here. I think that the guitar repairs would be safe for my musician friends to use but don't know how much they charge as I am a Luthier and do all my own repairs. Should Gary's Guitars get a new amp repairman, I would be willing to have my many tube amps I own serviced here. I miss having a place to go to get tube amps serviced for reasonably priced, friendly service.

I received a beautiful instrument that had languished for 10 years: neither was it pleasant to play nor did it fulfill its sonic promise. Sometimes when you call a business, you receive an immediate vibe over the phone. Calling Mouradian Guitar, the owner himself answered. Instantly it was apparent that I was the only concern for this man at that moment: how often can one say that, let alone feel the confidence that such focus inspires? Jon was straightforward about both his willingness to address my instrument's challenges and his appreciation for my wishing to bring the Guild back into use. Once Jon had touched the instrument, he made good on his promise that I would simply not recognize the guitar once he had dialed it in. I have had a Very hard time keeping my hands off the instrument since bringing it home. The only thing that gives me more joy than playing this re-born instrument is reporting the delight of finding a man of such expertise, integrity and high standards. No one will touch my instruments from now on but Mouradian Guitar Company.

I'm a single dad living in Portsmouth, I…read moredon't have extra spending money. after multiple scheduling issues on their end, my son only received two lessons (one of which was 8 minutes short). I was charged $140 for four more lessons (they charged me early, we were NOT going to take further lessons). I told them I needed a refund because they overdrew my bank account. Brian, the lessons manager left a voicemail saying the refund was issued. A week later, no refund so I called him. Brian asked ME if I got the refund approved as if I work there. After speaking to three managers, the store manager included, I had to threaten legal action over $140 before they issued a refund for only $105. I had to call again for the final $35. The "customer satisfaction team" reached out to make it right and told me someone would be reaching out within 72 hours. 144 hours have passed and no one reached out. I'm a Marine veteran, integrity and keeping your word mean a lot to me, I don't believe they have a shred of honesty. I can't speak for their other locations, but I would avoid the Portsmouth NH location. Spend your money elsewhere. They also kept the money for the remaining two lessons after we canceled them all due to their ridiculously bad customer service. I'd say they should be embarrassed, but they seem to have no shame. Good luck to anyone who tries to learn an instrument there, my son lost the desire to play thanks to them.

I bought an instrument from them on Reverb…read more I even agreed to buy a used gig bag they had on their site for $20, since the electric sitar that I purchased didn't have one The next morning, an hour before the store opens, "Paul" tells me to hold off on buying the gig bags because they can't find the instrument that I bought! He suggested I put in for a refund. I was not going to be the one to break the deal and I told him I was not interested in a refund, I wanted the instrument they sold me and was bought and paid for. A short time later, Paul tells me they looked all over and can't find it and sent me a refund anyway. They had the instrument when they took pictures of it and posted it on a Reverb two months prior! It was an oddball Electric Sitar/Guitar Did they think it might be rare or a prototype? Did someone offer them more money? Did they keep it for themselves? Did an employee steal it? I asked them to check with all of their employees and any surveillance footage, sales records, etc. If I had a music store and an instrument was missing, I would be raising heck! Especially something already sold, bought and paid for by a customer! I will never deal with this place again and I hope that no one does. Do so at your own risk!

Five or so calls later and I got to talking with Scott at Naked Guitar Repair. He came off as a good dude who was really comfortable with guitars and confident in his work, so even though I had found a cheaper option, I drove over to Madbury to meet Scott. His shop is located in the same lot as a landscaping business and is entered through the side door under the green awning along the right-hand side of the building. The space is refreshingly unfinished, with tools lining the perimeter workbench spaces and guitars in various states of build hanging along the walls. The real look of the place was the first of a few indications that I had chosen the right repair shop for my old Yamaha. Scott looked up from his work and received me warmly into his workshop. He deftly inspected the guitar, played a Spanish riff to check its original condition, and concluded that it was in great shape, definitely worth cleaning up. Throughout the "interview" he was really friendly and shared a great deal of information about his history with guitars; during this conversation I also came to learn that Scott builds electric guitars from scratch under the name Stonewall Instruments in this same space (another indication that my Yamaha was in good hands). He was even willing to work with me on the price of the work. I picked up the guitar a few days later, and, needless to say, it sparkled and sang. I'll try to include a photo of it with this post, but you should just take my word for it -- the guitar glows like it was touched by a experienced perfectionist and is matched by the sweetest tone, new strings tight and sharp. Can't be more happy with the "upgrade" Scott was able to bring out of her. Not only do I recommend Naked Guitar Repair to anyone looking for a honest conversation about a guitar in need, but I'm personally committed to returning to the business when Scott has his annual Stonewall Instruments open house. Hope this helps. Be well!
