Don't write many reviews, but Lindz in the tech shop really went above and beyond for me, and just for a minor setup job too, not a major money maker. My guitar feels and sounds great - like my best hopes for it.

Aside from doing a bang up job on the setup, he took a good chunk of his time with me (more than was justified by the amount of money I was spending, really); he answered and asked a lot of questions, really spending time with me to get the setup they way I like it and to give me the confidence it was being left in good hands.

I was considering different pickup options and setup options aside from the setup adjustments, so he had me try a few guitars in the shop to get an idea of what I liked compared to what the current state of my guitar was. I was grateful for that, because I ended up liking my own axe more than I realized, actually.

As an added 'above and beyond'... I play 12's and I like a solid D string, which is very uncommon and they didn't have in stock, but he managed to get one for me before doing the setup.

Oh yeah, that in all than less than a 24 hour turnover, which again was above and beyond call of duty.

I only learned after the fact that Lindz is a heavyweight guitar tech for some of the top names in the biz, and makes beautiful custom guitars that look crazy-authentically vintage (it's spooky).

Now I just have to make an annual trip to Nashville for setups, ha!

Aside from being a converted big fan of Lindz, all the staff (Heather at the front desk, and others) were very cool and helpful and seemed content just to let me roam around and try things, but were also helpful asking questions and helping me get set up to play different guitars/pedals etc.

All this, and I wasn't spending thousands of dollars there either. They just treated me kindly and respectfully like any good customer might be treated, which is a rare jewel these days, it seems.

Cheers, Carter Vintage and Lindz! Thank you!
