These guys are knowledgeable and helpful when we purchased our first guitar and amplifier. They help us choose the right one, give us some really good suggestions, and let us demo them. We are able to walk out with a great deal and a decent education on a new product. Way To go

I have never had a neck that plays so well. The action was perfect. Also saves me $60.00 or so taking it to a tech...
