From the reviews
I purchased a Martin Modern Deluxe OOO-42. I can't say enough good things about the process from start to finish. Very knowledgeable and extremely easy to work with. The guitar is beyond comparison. The set up is excellent and it was well packed. Very prompt from order to delivery.
From my experience, Eddie's Guitars has gone above and beyond my expectations in service and quality of instruments carried. I have placed a custom guitar order with them and have also purchased another high-end guitar from them since.
Yesterday was my first time at Eddie's. I had stayed away because of the appointment only but now that I did it I understand why. They have so many guitars in boxes that they really need to get an idea of what each customer is interested in to pull.
I wasn't used to a guitar place that required appointments. If you're at all serious at even trying a higher end guitar, I highly recommend reaching out. I ended up finding a guitar I absolutely fell in love with that I wouldn't have been able to play anywhere else in the area.
Selling or trading gear at Eddie's Guitars
Eddie's Guitars comes up for buying and trading used gear — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the trip go better. First, bring the whole package: the case or gig bag, the original tremolo arm or bridge parts, the paperwork if you have it — a complete rig is worth real money more than a bare instrument, and it saves the back-and-forth of "can you bring the case in?" Second, know that trade credit almost always beats the cash offer, usually by a healthy margin — if you're upgrading anyway, price your old gear as a trade against the new one before you take cash. Either way, expect the offer to be below what the gear sells for on the wall; the gap is the store's margin for setup, warranty, and sitting on it until the right buyer walks in.
