“TL;DR: Keith Holland Guitars fixed the severely bowed neck of a 1916 Gibson mandolin and I’m SO GRATEFUL.”

From the reviews
Just bought a Guild Acoustic guitar at Keith Holland Guitars. The service I got was incredible, super helpful and gave great descriptions of all the guitars. The shop has a great relationship with Guild guitars, and I was told that the one I bought was hand picked a couple days before I bought it.
What a great group of guys! I met Robert the new owner and he such a cool cat! Super friendly! We chatted for a minute and you can totally tell he’s not only knowledge but is truly passionate about all things string. He expedited a setup on my strat which now sounds amazing!
This place is great! The staff is very friendly and helpful too! They helped me very much went I went in to pick out a new guitar. They talked to me, figured out what sounded best for me and gave me some recommendations. If it wasn't for such a friendly and helpful staff, I may have went elsewhere. Thanks guys.
Keith Holland re-fretted my 1979 Fender Stratocaster and it was like a brand new axe. Service is always good and knowledgeable. I recommend the shop.
Selling or trading gear at Keith Holland Guitars
Keith Holland Guitars 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.
Lessons at Keith Holland Guitars
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Keith Holland Guitars. 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 and rentals on hand for exactly this reason.
