Great shop. Had them do a setup and fret dress on my Strat. Lance called me once he had it on the bench and mentioned that the fret ends weren’t too bad. He could continue, or skip it to save me some money. I told him to go for it, and it ended up better than I thought it could be. Great work guys.

11/10 experience Duffy and Paul hooked me up on a sweet new guitar. They let me play as many as I needed to find the one that was exactly right for me. They also go the extra mile in setting every guitar up ahead of time and send back any that doesn’t meet their standards. Awesome shop!

Went into Backroads Guitars on Wyoming Ave. here in Albuquerque on Tuesday looking for a new 12 string. Lance and Duffy were great to work with. I bought a beautiful Takamine on the spot. I highly recommend this business. Come check it out!
