From the reviews
I dropped off my Taylor for a pre-winter setup. The staff was friendly (Father & Son run the shop) and they even turned around my setup in a few hours allowing me to pick it up the same day. They also recommended some ways to keep my acoustic properly humidified through the winter and overall I had a great experience.
I bought a cool vintage amp here but it needed to be be serviced and I had the original cord replaced to a safe 3 prong. AJ and his Dad are nice people. They are not very flexible on pricing so be prepared to pay high end retail prices here.
These guys know and love vintage instruments. I have all my amp and guitar work done here. The things AJ was able to do with my 1961 Fender Bassman still have me amazed each time I plug into it.
These guys are really some of the best. The quality of work is beyond top notch. I brought my guitar to have some sharp fret ends addressed. When I got it back, the frets were mirror polished, and as smooth as can be. The set up is better than I could have imagined, and the electronics are now working perfectly.
