From the reviews

Joe was really straightforward about the repairs and was very considerate about my budget. Good to talk to, really approachable, and it’s obvious he loves what he does. Treated my old off-brand guitars like they were high-end Gibsons. Got new strings, and bridge adjustment on my electric.

★★★★★ — Larissa, Feb 2025

Joe did a phenomenal job for me on an older model guitar that really needed some adjustments. He put on some new strings and set the action perfectly. He finished the work before the estimated time and for a reasonable price. Plays like a charm, highly recommend this place for any repair issues you may have.

★★★★★ — Rey, Feb 2025

Joe is an amazing luthier and very nice! Took a used guitar in to get setup and he breathed new life into it. Neck and intonation are better than ever. I'm new to the area and feel lucky to have found such a professional, friendly shop. Will be taking all my instrument needs here :)

★★★★★ — George, Dec 2021

Joe is amazing! Great guy, great shop! My 79 Stratocaster never sounded better! Go see him if you need a setup or repair!

Lessons at Joe's Music. LLC

Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Joe's Music. LLC. 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.
