On 4/30/2026 Shaman had this to say:
Bought 2 or 3 guitars here over the years and would definitely recommend the shop. Shop owner is a solid guy that doesn't mind helping when you have questions. They also donated a guitar to a local charity just because I asked them too at Chirstmas after the big box chain store didn't "have the ability." Thanks Fret Shop for serving the community!
