    I brought my Gretsch 5120 to Mike Virok's Bordentown Guitar Rescue. I had bought the guitar used and there was a pick up modification that was done that was a bit funky by the previous owner. Mike set up the guitar and changed the pickups to Gretsch Blacktop Filtertrons. The shop is very nice and Bordentown is a cool little town. It is not really that far from Cherry Hill either. What impressed me most about Mike was that he recognized the odd pick up mod immediately and also the two other Gretsch upgrades the previous owner had made. He also told me the turn around time would be 3 days! I hated it when I visited other luthiers closer by where I live and saw a ton of guitars and then they tell you 2-3 weeks and take 4 weeks. Why such a back up? No with Bordentown Guitar Rescue. His prices were fair, and my guitar looked and plays really great now. The action and truss rod were corrected and as Mike said, "It looks the way a Gretsch is supposed to look." I will be bringing my Tele up shortly to get some buzzing frets corrected. I was really happy with Bordentown Guitar Rescue and I would absolutely recommend them.

    Needed a setup for my takamine; they did a great job, in one day. Definitely recommend them.

    My left handed Gibson Hummingbird Acoustic needed TLC. Took it to Mike and all is good in the world again.

    I have taken four different guitars to Bordentown Guitar Rescue for "set-ups" neck and fret issues.

    I brought my guitar and amp to this shop, guitar for a set up and amp because it was having sound…read moreissues. First started talking to Jon who had told me that it would be 40-50 dollars for the setup... no problem... good deal... when he picked up the guitar to do the setup he told me it would be 40. When he was done he charged me 50.... Still not a big deal as I wasn't going to argue over 10 dollars. Now for the amp. Jon had told me that it was most likely just a short, it would be repaired in shop, and it would cost me no more than the set up. Fast forward about 10 minutes and a guy named Eric comes in and tells me that they have to bring the amp to their amp guy and that it would cost between 90 and 150 dollars to fix plus 20 dollars for delivery, also said it would only be a couple of days. I left the amp with them and went on my way A week later I still hadn't heard anything so I contacted Jon as he was the contact I was given. He didn't get back to me until two days later and I got nothing but the runaround... and I was told that the shop they brought it to had a lot of their amps and they would get back to me when they heard something. I waited another couple of days and contacted him again. Once again it too him two days to get back to me and he still had no answers. So I waited another two days and contacted him again. This time I get a text back from Eric saying that they are waiting on a part and that's what's taking so long and he would update me the next day. Another two days went by with no update. So I text Eric again who proceeds to tell me that he's just the delivery guy and I needed to contact the shop that had the amp. I proceeded to tell him that I didn't do business with that shop I did it with him... the next day, after I texted him for another update and he tells me that the guy was on vacation for a week and he just got to it... also telling me that he don't know if he can fix it because he's not a line 6 repair shop. So which is it? They have a lot of your amps, waiting on a part, or the guy was on vacation? So now 2.5 weeks later I still don't have my amp or any word on it.

    Very easy to work with, pleasant, and knowledgeable!…read more I gave them a call to assist me with the purchase of a guitar, and they were as courteous as they come. Great staff over there - you're sure to be pleased with their service!
