From the reviews
I hope Google reviews doesn't have a word limit 😁 After taking one of my guitars to ANOTHER music store for a relatively small problem with the nut, their repair made my guitar unplayable. I wasn't about to take it back to the same place to be fixed, so it sat unloved in its case for almost 2 years.
They did an amazing job on my '69 Telecaster Thinline. Re-fret, new nut, truss rod adjustment, complete set up and more. Guitar plays like a dream now. Well priced and amazing workmanship. A+++ Im a customer for life!
I spoke with the gentlemen and both of them were quite knowledgeable and friendly. Their shop looked like a good repair shop should look and that was reassuring enough.
Knowledgeable, talented, and friendly. He took time to explain the process of repairing the 2 guitars we left. Awesome people, busy lil shop. We're looking forward to our trip bach there to retrieve the guitars. Well worth the 2 hour drive.
Selling or trading gear at Homewood Musical Instrument Co
Homewood Musical Instrument Co comes up for buying and trading used gear — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the trip go better. First, bring the whole package: the case or gig bag, the original tremolo arm or bridge parts, the paperwork if you have it — a complete rig is worth real money more than a bare instrument, and it saves the back-and-forth of "can you bring the case in?" Second, know that trade credit almost always beats the cash offer, usually by a healthy margin — if you're upgrading anyway, price your old gear as a trade against the new one before you take cash. Either way, expect the offer to be below what the gear sells for on the wall; the gap is the store's margin for setup, warranty, and sitting on it until the right buyer walks in.
