What a great experience! John, the proprietor, is friendly, expert knowledge, and extraordinary selection of very cool finds. I saw a black on black bass that I want badly. My friend bought an electric violin. It is such an unexpected and delightful shop to visit. Wish I could give it 10 stars. I will definitely come back and purchase.
I happened upon a used Gibson 335 here. Something I'd been considering for some years. I bought it and brought it home to Pennsylvania. I'm pleased with the cost and the guitar.
The owner of this shop is incredibly knowledgeable and a great guy!!! I would recommend anyone check it out even if you're just wandering around on vacation. He has some really high quality instruments in stock, stuff you usually don't see hanging on a wall.. as well as a plethora of bass and guitar amps. I walked in and he did a setup on one of my basses same day and it's playing wonderfully!
