From the reviews
I have had Eric do two instrument set ups for me, one was a mandolin, the other a guitar. His work is excellent and I highly recommend him.
Eric does really good work. He lower the action and worked on the frets of my Martin D-28, my prized possession. I play it a lot. He was the fifth person I’ve taken it too since I had new frets put on it. It plays like new.
Eric is a very knowledgeable professional who's work saved the day for my son's birthday. Repaired the cracks on a sound hole that made it awesome again. Call him!!
Great experience! Eric was very professional and repaired by guitar in a timely manner. He did a great job and I will use him again in the future!
Selling or trading gear at Ramsey Strings Guitar & Violin Shop
Ramsey Strings Guitar & Violin Shop 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.
