This storefront is a legend! One of the last remaining authentic, honest guitar and repair shops around. William is one of the best in the business and a very good man. See you soon, Doug.

Just bought two guitars, a Montalvo flamenco and acoustic Guild. Love the friendly service and low key atmosphere. Not many choices but great quality.

Helpful, friendly, newbie-positive. My inherited instrument is 1000x easier to play than when I brought it in, and for a reasonable price. Thanks!
