What's on the wall
“John recommended some Curt Mangan Marfa Lights strings for my 68 Gibson B-25 acoustic and I couldn't be more pleased with them.”
“To be honest I was getting pretty frustrated with the whole day and I just wanted to go home.”
“My custom Alembic bass that I've had for the last 20 years developed a dead fret after thousands of gigs and even more hours of practice.”
“At this point, I've been to Guitar Tex many times for repairs and shopping, and I don't think there's a better place to trust with your instruments in town.”
“Connor Montoya set up my Kentucky 606 mandolin and my Gretsch G9241 reso git.”

From the reviews
I spent about 6 hours driving around San Antonio, looking for a new guitar a friend that was with me suggested that we go one more place, Guitar Tex. To be honest I was getting pretty frustrated with the whole day and I just wanted to go home. Let me just say, I’m so happy that my friend made the suggestion now.
Coolest little guitar shop around. You'd have to drive to Austin to find this kind of cool. Connor Montoya set up my Kentucky 606 mandolin and my Gretsch G9241 reso git. Both times he said that it could take 2 to 3 weeks, both times they were ready the next day.
My custom Alembic bass that I've had for the last 20 years developed a dead fret after thousands of gigs and even more hours of practice. I was hesitant to bring it just anywhere but after seeing the level of instruments they had in their shop I decided to give it a shot.
