From the reviews
John K. @ JK Grooves Guitar Service and Uptown Music Exchange did excellent work on two of my guitars! The turnaround was fast and both guitars feel, sound and look great! The pricing was reasonable and the staff members were all very friendly! I would recommend John for any of your setup/repair/install needs! Thanks!
Super helpful people here, even though we weren't making a large purchase. Inspected a guitar for issues around why a string broke and took about 15 minutes out of their day to look around for a replacement, answer our questions, and show us around. Really good people.
Peter is a very helpful instrument repairman and his customer service is about the best possible!
They repaired my flute quickly, and it never sounded better. I’d give 6 stars if i could
Lessons at The Peculiar Note
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at The Peculiar Note. 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.
