Gary's handmade guitars are absolutely beautiful (please visit his website) so I contacted him about my setup. Gary is very personable, a perfectionist in his work, and reasonably priced. I won't hesitate to take my bass back to him for anything else I need. If you need any work or repairs done on your guitar/bass, please give him a call. Not only will you be supporting a local small business, you can't get the same attention to detail and quality from a big box/chain store as you will from Gary.

Gary is a great luthier and a good man. I am very thankful that he is located right here in the…read moreDownriver area.

It's an hour and a half drive for me but I'm a repeat customer and knew the drive would be worth it. Honestly...I have no real idea what makes a guitar sound/feel better, but they sure do.

Friendly, knowledgeable, and obviously a highly skilled craftsman. Took the time to explain what was going on with my instrument even though it didn't need work. He even fitted the end pin for me. Highly recommended.

I had a great experience at Music Go Round. This was the only store within 100 miles of me that had…read morea particular instrument I was interested in, a Yamaha 604FM. I called them the day prior and spent 17 minutes on the phone talking to an employee that took a lot of time to go over all the details and history of the instrument, then plugged it in and played it for a while before coming back to give me their assessment. The employee had a great attitude and provided incredible customer service. He offered to put it on hold so I could check it out, and the next day I drove over an hour to check it out. Upon parking outside the store I noticed a few bad reviews for the store, so after getting my hands on the bass I point blank asked all the employees about those reviews, which I know was unexpected and jarring. Without taking offense they addressed all of those reviews and the supposed issues for an extended period of time, and after hearing their side and being a good judge of character, I was completely put at ease. I traded in my old bass and got a price that was higher than I was expecting. They are very transparent about how they price and pay out for used instruments. I felt it was more than fair, and I put the trade in value towards the Yamaha. As i said, I live far from there, so I knew going in if I had ANY concerns I would leave without the bass, because problems would mean a 2+ hour round trip to deal with them, but I truly felt like I was getting a great deal from good people. If anything happens down the line I will update the review, but for now, 5 stars, great experience.

I would not go any were else not would i recommend but jewelry depot. this is a good man with a honest business. worth driving miles and miles away for. Thanks , Scott and Anna Brighton MI

It feels like you're dealing with an old friend, and not the kind that you would might willingly do injury to with fists for attempting to adjust your beloved instrument. Not this man, if Stephen is on the case, you're in amazing hands. He is ALWAYS willing to part with knowledge, and clearly does so enthusiastically; THAT is how you identify proficiency. A proficiency he has, in spades! You might say to yourself "is..? Look did he pay you to write this pap, or does he give you a discount?" He does not. Wait, maybe this should be 4 stars then... Make YOUR appointment, today!
