Report
4 stars and a FTR? this is not a sam ash or guitar center, but a mom and pop local music store. they do lessons, sell on consignment and quiet frankly, will likely receive my consumer dollar for my quest to find a luthier. I spoke with ruth, i think the owner, very nice and down to earth. i cant testify for the lesson quality, but on the surface they certainly know their stuff, so likely they are going to meet your musical needs. sounds good?
