From the reviews

Great cozy place and a great experience. I came in to have my acoustic restrung, I believe it was a Christina that I was with; she was an excellent help. She gave me some helpful info about strings and guitar maintenance and even some advice about my playing posture/technique, all while stringing and cleaning/oiling…

★★★★★ — Kyru, Apr 2024

it was my first time visiting the store and I felt very welcomed! Special thanks to Christina for helping me out the entire time :) she made this visit a lot less scary haha. I found exactly what I needed, which was a beginner acoustic guitar. I'm really happy with my purchase!
