I inherited an old J-45 with some major issues to it. I looked around and found this guy Tom with all these 5 star ratings on Google and decided to give him a try. After he was finished, my guitar now plays like a dream and even an expert could not tell the guitar had been repaired when I had him inspect it for an insurance valuation. Tom was a great guy to talk with and he even had some guitar tips that have helped make me a better player. This guy definitely knows guitars and other stringed instruments and seems to enjoy visiting with his customers\friends as well. I have sent everyone who mentions they have any guitar issue to Tom. Very reasonably priced as well. Can’t say enough!

I wish i could have checked it out more. I tried to go in to see the selection of guitars but upon entering i had both employees just stare at me like i shouldnt have been there. They were deep in conversation with a customer who was blocking the entrance. I stood there waiting for a few minutes hoping for one of the employees to greet me or say, «what can i help you find?» No such greeting was given. Instead they continued to block the pathway and stare at me like they wanted me to get out. I simply turned and left realizing they obviously didnt care about making me a customer.

Tom repaired my guitar which had dried out and warped after moving to Utah from California. He is incredibly knowledgeable about guitars, and music in general, and is fascinating to talk to. I would trust him with any guitar issue; he is a master craftsman.

My trip to this store was… interesting to say the least. I stopped in looking for a baritone uke(which he did actually have one, though I did not end up buying it). I had to crawl through a graveyard of guitars to get to his ukes, and at that point there was no doubt in my mind that he does repair work. There were guitars and guitar skeletons everywhere. The shop seemed almost in chaos, but to me it gave the vibe that Tom probably knows what he’s doing when it comes to instrument repair.

This place is awesome for repairs. Tom the owner and luthier loves to chat, so go when you have some time to shoot the breeze. I saw the guitar he fixed for a 9 year old musician and ACDC fan, you could barely see where the finish was glued, and the instrument sounded great. The store itself is as a small town feel from another era. They don’t have a huge instrument selection but did notice some beautiful mandolins.
