From the reviews
On multiple occasions I have had opportunity to watch Gary work, standing next to him, looking over his shoulder, during his entire work day from start to finish. Gary and I go way back so by ‘multiple occasions’ I mean perhaps 20 times over the last 13 years.
I don't know much about guitars, and my brother was having problems with his so i came here hoping to see if it could be fixed, He diagnosed the problem so fast that i was in and out in 5 minutes! That is enough to impress me. Super friendly guy and you can tell he has years of knowledge and experience.
Gary does absolutely phenomenal work. I handed him a mess and he handed me a guitar that plays as good as anything I own. He replaced the nut, leveled the frets, and performed a full setup. My daughter and I were more than impressed at his work. His amps go to 11. Thank you.
Gary has done excellent work on 3 electric and 1 acoustic guitar that I own. I've had them worked out through the years by others but I've never had them play as well as they have after Gary has worked his magic. I won't take them anywhere else. The guy is a wizard!
Lessons at Folkstone Guitars Inc.
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Folkstone Guitars Inc.. If you're signing up a beginner (or restarting yourself), a quick call ahead answers the three things that matter: which instruments they teach, whether the schedule has openings at the time you actually need, and what a first lesson costs. There's no wrong first guitar — a good teacher will happily work with whatever you walk in with, and a shop that teaches usually keeps affordable starter instruments on hand for exactly this reason.
