This is my favorite place to shop for anything musical instrument related, and this store is very…read morefamily friendly! If they don't have an item, they can usually order it for you, and at no extra charge. James is most helpful and does suggestive selling if you don't know exactly what you are looking for. They do layaways on most all of their more expensive products such as stringed instruments and amplifiers, and very reasonable terms are available. They do take trades, with fair prices for your trade-ins. They offer band instrument sales, rental, and repairs as well. They have two qualified instrument repair technicians (for both stringed instruments and band instruments) available to take care of all of your repairs or maintenance needs. Amplifier repair and custom guitar painting is also available! I highly recommend Ernie Williamson Music, and you will be pleased with your music instruments, gear and accessories experience!

They will find the oldest ,model of that item on ebay and say thats all its worth - they will trash your gear if you want to sell/trade - and lets not for get the customer service - good until you have an opinion. Then the true colors show. Not very professional - a glorified pawn shop. (and not a very good one. - most gear is older) Left One day very upset after being lowballed on decent equipment - (4 month old guitar I purchased NEW) made mention to a customer that was heading in , "Good luck, He's in rare form today" - then came back after a couple weeks after emailing Don about a half stack trade for a guitar, and was yelled at, cursed at and shoved by Don himself to get out. I tried to talk reasonably but It did not help. Big drama, big show. I had delt with them before and it was ok - Noah the other guy there was ok to deal with until that whole ordeal. Too bad.

5 stars doesn't even come close to describing how amazing my guitar is! If you like vintage looking…read moreguitars, go to MJT. There's no other place to go. Bottom line. This place is the absolute best place to have a vintage finish. When you factor in this place is less than half the price of a fender custom shop and especially when they make BETTER guitars than them. You'd have to be a idiot to get a guitar anywhere else. I have a lot of musician friends and literally every single one of them drools over how amazing my guitar looks, sounds and plays. In the month I've had this guitar I've gotten more compliments on this thing than I could even imagine. Even people who have no ideas about guitars, compliment my guitar. Then to top it off everyone is super awesome. Extremely helpful. I emailed Matt, I told him exactly what I wanted. It took them about 8 weeks to make. Considering how much detail goes into these guitars, I wouldn't be surprised if Michelangelo was back there making them lol. Then my package came and I opened it up and my dream guitar was in there. Oh and I live in Seattle so shipping was no problem. These guys even package their guitars better than anyone else. Anyways these guys are amazing. My only regret is not buying one sooner. Oh and maybe I should have bought a dozen guitars from them. Yeah a dozen.

While the other reviewers complaining about long wait times aren't wrong, I think the quality more…read morethan makes up for it. I bought a MJT telecaster full kit a couple years ago and am currently waiting on a bound tele full kit. Both projects went over time, but in both cases it wasn't all MJT's fault. The first project was late because Musikraft was seriously backed up - so that was Musikraft's fault. This newer project was late due to them having issues sourcing the body from their supplier (so not completely their fault). It would have been nice for them to bump my project up in the queue, but I'm not faulting them for not doing that. They quoted me 10-14 weeks and it's been a little over 6 months - I'm told it should ship within the next week or so. 2 years ago Wendy was awesome to work with, and Emily has been great as well. Tldr: Go in expecting that it'll take longer than they quote. If they're on time - amazing! But if you end up waiting longer, it'll be worth it. I'll update my review when I receive the new guitar!
