On a personal note, Ray is the kind of humble "old school" musician that I really like. He does great work and has a really calm personality that will bring your blood pressure down just by talking with him. The sales staff were excellent too, but I really wanted to highlight Ray. I've played professionally for 30+ years and I'll bring my guitars to him now.

I really have to thank Mr. Matt and the rest of the incredible staff. It makes me want to continue my music journey and come back very often. A big plus is their location now.

My primary Fender Jazzmaster guitar had a short in the volume knob and caused me several problems at our gig this past weekend.
