Maureen took great care and time getting a 1969 Gibson SG Jr in her hands and answering all my questions with honesty. She gave a good assessment of the guitar and worked with me to ship it to my home. My only suggestion is use bubble wrap guys, not paper when packing.

Always helpful! Great selection! Still open during major parking lot, sidewalk, building repairs and maintenance.

I've been to a lot of Guitar Centers and I've never had anyone solve my problem as quickly and with as much musical talent as Maureen, changing my string and tuning my guitar in under a minute. I was so happy I went and bought a guitar cable.
