“So far I have had 2 electric guitars professionally setup there and they knocked it out of the park!”

From the reviews
Went in the other day to get some adjustments on my Gibson. Dave did some really good work but the guitar needed just a bit more and recommended a fella that did some great work as well! When I came back today to pick it up, there was still just a smidge of work that needed to be done.
Great shop, good selection, impressive pre owned guitars and amps. The staff is well versed and Dave does a fantastic job keeping my collection sounding great. I do wish they carried some additional brands, but hey 9 out of 10 ain’t bad at all
We took the kiddos in, and the staff was very welcoming and encouraged everyone to try different instruments. We picked up a few cables that we needed. They have lots in stock, and if it's not in stock they can help you out.
Required service on one of my guitars and they were able to do same day. Good selection of equipment also. Don't see that much now days. Would recommend without worries
Selling or trading gear at The Pied Piper Of Charleston Inc
The Pied Piper Of Charleston Inc 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.
