From the reviews
I've taken at least 3 different guitars to Brooks and Co at Savannah Guitar Lutherie and he did a marvelous job on all of them. Mainly set ups. Some minor repairs. Can't recommend them highly enough. Sometimes it takes a little while to get things back but the wait is worth it.
This is a shoutout to Brooks, Trevor, and Joshua at Savannah Guitar Lutherie & Mercantile. In the past month I’ve been in a few times to have my ukulele and guitar set up and have only the brightest things to say about the experiences.
This shop and its owner/operators are one of the best things about Savannah. They have created a community where musicians can become a family and do what they love together. It's obvious that they are in business for the good of musicians.

Selling or trading gear at Savannah Guitar Lutherie and Mercantile
Savannah Guitar Lutherie and Mercantile 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 Savannah Guitar Lutherie and Mercantile
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Savannah Guitar Lutherie and Mercantile. 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.
