From the reviews
UPDATE! 03/15/2018: There's only a few things in this word that are certain. One of those things just so happens to be Mr. Bill Foley's consistent masterful work on electric guitars. Thank you sir for the incredible job on my Jackson Warrior - just amazing workmanship. ****** Growing up in D.C.
I took my Jackson there and felt like it took forever to get back. It was a bit more costly but man, that Jackson you'd think was touched by God O Mighty after I got it back. UPDATE Many Years Later: Guitar still absolutely amazing today as it was the day I got it back from Mr. Foley.
The man knows what he’s doing. Brought my jazz master in to get a setup. I had an accident a few years ago that involved me losing the tips of my fingers. They’re super sensitive to strings. I explained my situation to him and he took care of me. Thing plays like a beauty and doesn’t kill my fingers.
I've bought several used instruments from them over a span of many years. It's a few small rooms with electric and acoustic guitars as well as other instruments (depending on what they chance to find) such as sitar, banjo, ukulele, mandolin etc. They also carry custom guitars made by the owner.
Lessons at German Village Music Haus
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at German Village Music Haus. 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.
