Do you do repairs and setups?
That’s what we’re noted for! Our three expert technicians do over 200 service jobs each month, and our 5-star reviews attest to the quality of our work!
Do you offer private lessons?
We’ve discontinued private lessons, but we’ll soon have a page here with recommended instructors.
Why should I buy a used guitar from you?
Because we carefully check out and then expertly set up and intonate every guitar we sell with quality new strings. I believe we are the only shop in the area that does this. How important is this work? An average guitar off Marketplace takes us two hours to prepare for our customers!
Where are you located?
We’re on the west side of Hwy 19 in Clearwater, between the exits of Countryside and Sunset Point. There’s a feeder road exit for south-bound traffic. North-bounders must exit at Countryside and make the U-turn.
Do you buy guitars and other stringed instruments?
Absolutely! We do trades also. We’ll evaluate your instrument and give you a fair offer. We need sellers as much as we need buyers.
How much does it cost to re-string an instrument?
Most instruments are just $15 plus strings. Classical guitars, Floyd Rose type guitars and some others are a bit more.
Do you do paint & finish work?
Not in-house, but we have an expert who does the work at his own shop, with OSHA approved paint booths and appropriate space and equipment.
Do you work on amplifiers?
Not in-house, but we have an expert who does the work at his own shop. There is a $50 check-out fee to cover troubleshooting, that is credited to your invoice if you approve his estimate and have the work done.
