I purchased a 1965 Gibson ES-335 from Charley's Guitar Shop in April 2021 after seeing it listed on…read moreReverb. The listing described the guitar as having "no breaks, no cracks, no repairs other than a refret." Recently, while preparing to sell the instrument, it was inspected by a respected luthier in the UK. During this inspection, it was identified that the guitar has previously undergone a neck reset, with associated finish work around the heel. The luthier has advised that this work appears older and predates my ownership. As many will know, a neck reset on a vintage ES-335 is considered significant repair work and can materially affect both value and collectability. It is also the type of work that would normally be disclosed at the point of sale. I contacted the shop to raise this and to try to resolve the matter amicably. Despite multiple emails, a phone call, and a clear proposed resolution, I have not received a response to my follow-up correspondence. I have now sent a further formal email requesting a response within 14 days. I remain open to resolving this fairly and would welcome the opportunity to discuss it directly.

Minda also teaches lessons, so I signed right up. Great experience. She's patient, willing to explain things to my engineering brain, and brilliant. More, when it came time to change a string, Minda gave me a lesson. She even let me change a few strings on a harp she was working on. Telling me how to do it, showing me how to do it, then letting me do it but talking me through each step. Finally, doing it on my own but with her watching. Great way of learning. I was able to go home and confidently change the string myself. Five of five stars. And an extra star because she's just so darn nice about it.

I was a 5-star rater of Tone Shop until I went to sell a collection of guitars. Took weeks for…read morethem to respond and I had to follow up daily and then the price they gave was a great deal for them - not me, but I was willing so after hauling the guitars to their store, then it was every little issue with the guitars. the jack has static - 1979 would have that and a simple spray of deoxit but that equated to 500 dollars off their offer. The deal was for them, not me - looking around at their inventory, everything was marked up high so they were going to make double or triple from every guitar in the deal so I decided this was not good for me and called it off. No help getting the guitars in and no help getting the guitars out. And they were stuck on one they wanted to get for dirt cheap. Not a fair offer but lowball. I work in business and know there needs to be a margin, but theirs is around 80% if not 90%. Forget it!! They may have great items but run! You can get a better deal anywhere else with a staff that is not trying to blead you of every dime. Too bad since I proudly wore my Tone Shop Guitar shirt, told everyone about how great they are and the shirt has been tossed. Bottom line - you will get ripped off selling to a store anyway, but the lowball price and then the minor items their skilled staff can easily go through were obstacles and they used that for leverage. Real sleazy practice and a waste of my time! Again - the waste of time was the largest insult of all! Great items and I'm sure the staff is nice, but after this experience I will never buy or recommend this store. This could have been so much better and I'm still very surprised with such a low offer I was willing accept and they wanted to reduce that more for a collection that they would have been making profit hand over fist with the traffic they get.

I recently took my headless bass there for a set up. I'm SUPER picky when it comes to how my bass…read moreshould feel and play, but Richard absolutely took care of me and then some. Richard was extremely kind and easy to work with and offered for me to try out the bass before I took it home so he could fine tune the action to get it to my perfect height. In the end, he set up my bass with silky smooth low action as requested and I have to say, this bass has never played better! The action was just at that perfect sweet spot where the neck played like butter but high enough to where the notes really sing. Ever since I took it home, I haven't been able to put it down. The bass is just a joy to play and plays the best its ever played since owning it! I swear I'm not exaggerating when I it's just about the best set up I've ever had on this bass. It should be noted I also came in with some issues on the headless hardware that were unique enough to not have an easily searchable answer on google. I told Richard and, after working on my bass, he gave me some tips to try and so far, they've worked like a charm. At no extra charge too! I really cannot recommend this place enough. If you're looking to have any kind of work done on your instrument for a fair price with supberb customer service and expertise, you owe it to yourself to try out Richardson Guitar Works. This place is the real deal!
