What's on the wall
“Sean did great work brining my Fender Strat back to life.”
“He also has a nice selection of strings and equipment, as well as some beautiful custom guitars and basses, electric and acoustic.”
“while he was working on my guitar he stopped hooked up an amp for me and let me try out a pedal board.”
“Got my guitar restrung with him showing me the technique he used and helping me select strings and a tuner, as well as giving me free picks.”
“I was afraid that I would have to go a long way to find a luthier to resurrect this guitar so I jumped at the chance to have it worked on locally.”
“He put new strings on my banjo and turned it up for me at a great price!”

From the reviews
Brought my Stratocaster in to get some work done. Sean made it play better than ever. Only took a day and prices and fantastic for the work he did. He also has a nice selection of strings and equipment, as well as some beautiful custom guitars and basses, electric and acoustic. I will certainly be a returning customer!
I took a very old, attic stored guitar to Sean and he brought it back to life! I was afraid that I would have to go a long way to find a luthier to resurrect this guitar so I jumped at the chance to have it worked on locally. His work is thorough, first rate and reasonable. Thanks Sean!
Sean did great work brining my Fender Strat back to life. Got my guitar back to me in the time that he promised. Great local service,
Awesome place with guitars and basses custom built in house. I also had some fret work done on my Strat. Sean did an excellent job.
Selling or trading gear at Windward Music & Guitars
Windward Music & Guitars 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.
