From the reviews
I took two mandolin family instruments, an octave mandolin and a a-style mandolin to Barneys. They were playable but not in very good shape. When I got them back from Barneys they were way better than ever. It is like having two new instruments. I cannot put them down.
Professional service from an experienced luthier. I had two of my guitars (one with a Floyd tremolo) setup with an intonation, string change and fret treatment. They play amazing. I feel confident bringing my instruments here for great care and service. Would use again.
Top notch guitar work from Bill Barney. Repairs, refrets, setups, pickup installs - he does it all! I've been bringing him my guitars for more than ten years, and he has never disappointed. I highly recommend Bill Barney for all your guitar maintenance needs!
Bill Barney is a NO nonsense guy who will tell you straight up if a guitar can be repaired. HE is Straight up the BEST Guitar Repairman in Louisville and Southern Indiana!
