From the reviews
Vintage Guitar Workshop is a top notch shop. Not only are they experts at what they do, they are also super friendly and down to earth. I have OCD when it comes to guitar intonation and I've always struggled to get my guitars set up correctly.
“I’m from the San Francisco area and always make the trip out here to buy these incredible guitars. I had my Cuban Tres adjusted. It sounds and feels great after the job they did. Incredible. My double neck and my Les Paul. All set up perfectly. This shop is truly a gem for guitar players and musicians alike.
I highly recommend Vintage Guitar Workshop. It's the only place I've found that was able to quickly and accurately fine-tune my 2004 Bongo 5-string Music Man Bass Guitar to my specific needs. This request was no challenge for Holland, a graduate of the Galloup Luthier School and a musician.
I have an amp of immense sentimental value that unfortunately did not work when I received it. It took many years of going to shops and not leaving my amp there due to wait times or overall customer service. When I came across Vintage guitar shop I decided to try them out.
