“He has taught me invaluable lessons about set ups when going to his place to drop off or pick up instruments that I will remember until I am old and gray.”

From the reviews
I'm a player for 30+ years, worked in the retail music industry and did basic guitar repair myself. I like to tinker and loved working on guitars...my favorite job to this day followed closely as a Indy car mechanic...it's been a long strange trip! And it continues, may wind up in Tibet before all is said and done.
The guitar tech, Shawn, is what makes this place go. He works hard and can be obsessive about making my instruments as perfect as possible. He is friendly, informed and engaged. He understands that his customers are connected to their instruments and he treats their instruments accordingly.
I took a perfectly good instrument to 5th Ave Fretshop for a minor change to the electronics and a setup and I got back the same instrument but so greatly improved that I must explain... I liked the sound of the pickups but wanted to tweak it for a warmer jazzier sound.
I have got to say that theses guys are the greatest! Not only did they do an amazing on my beloved but super cheap Metallic Orange Squire Strat, but also gave me incredible advice on what to do or not do involving upgrading my guitar.
