From the reviews

I had an Evertune bridge module replaced and full setup completed, including string change. The nut was recut, neck relief adjusted. John was recommended, as he personally repairs Evertune equipped guitars. I travelled from Pittsburgh and was totally satisfied with all services. A+++.

Lessons at Guitar House Workshop

Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Guitar House Workshop. 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.
