From the reviews
In September 2020, I took the opportunity to take Brian’s one week setup/repair class. Prior to this class, I had always taken my guitars to a local shop in Northern Virginia for setups. My experience level was limited to string changes and I had never even taken a truss rod cover off.
My father has had a few of his guitars that have been setup by Mr. Hawkins that have felt flawless when playing them. I decided to take my USA Jackson RR1T a couple of weeks ago so that Mr. Hawkins could set my guitar up for a heavier gauge string in D-standard tuning. Mr.
I have a beloved old guitar that developed a serious structural issue with a support brace inside the body. Having no clue if this could even be repaired I contacted Brian at Hawkins Guitar.
Since I met Brian several years ago I've entrusted him with just about every guitar I own and that's a lot guitars. Every experience has been exceptional. I've shared that with my musician friends and they have all told me the same thing. What he did was amazing and I feel like I have a new and better guitar.
Lessons at Hawkins Guitar
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Hawkins Guitar. 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.
