I'm from Boston but I bought a beautiful Fender Custom Shop Strat online from Joey. If there was an award for safe and secure packaging, he would win first place 😂. I'm beyond happy with the guitar I purchased from For The Love of Guitar. He also gave me a great deal and was easy to work with. Highly recommend!!
