My first guitar was a Squire Strat my parents bought me from Moonlight in 1993. When I took up playing the guitar again during COVID, the first place I thought of was Russ at Moonlight Music. An excellent Luthier, I am always pleased with his work. Thanks again for making my instruments sound great.
