Nice store with a very helpful staff. Honest advice and no upselling. Definitely give them a visit if you are trying to get started or need repairs.

They did an excellent job on my guitar. They are very knowledgeable. They are busy but worth the wait.

I'm very lucky to live so close to The Guitar Doctor. I am a working musician and often find myself in need of a guitar repair or fine tune before a gig or recording session. Eric and Jake are fantastic and always accommodating whenever I bring them a guitar with a request for a quick turn-around. They are extremely knowledgeable and have given me many tips on how to keep my guitars playing and sounding great.

Jake at the Guitar Doctor does fantastic work. Approx ten years ago Jake was able to help me modify my favorite guitar and turn it into one of the best I ever played. Ten years later I'm still bringing guitars here anytime they need a real luthiers attention. Thank you for the great work!

I went here years ago when i got my first guitar. Went here to SIMPLY have my frets sanded down as they were cutting me. He says that would cost 15%, ok cool. Come in to get it. He sanded the frets (HORRIBLY), changed out the plugin for the chord, messed with the tuning pegs, put dents all over my guitar, filled down the thing the strings rest on on the neck, changed out the strings, amd he actually broke some other stuff (i assume to get meto come back to have them fixed) The final price?

I have to pay them 75$ for completely f*cking up my guitar for "all the work he did to fix it". Again all I wanted was my frets sanded When confronted about all of that and saying "why am i being charged for stuff i didnt want done" he started getting all heated saying how ig i want a broken guitar and idc how much work he did to fix it Dont go here. You are better off at a guitar center or something

Gave my Marshall 80w amp to GD with specific instructions on what I wanted fixed. GD completely ignored me. Paid good money after bad service. I won't be going back there, neither should you.

I'm new to archery and after equipment fails with my first 2 recurve bows (or lemons) I was feeling pretty discouraged until my friend pointed me in the right direction towards Traditional Archery Supply. Alexander was super helpful in getting the right bow and arrows ordered for me and apparently listened to all my previous Bass Pro equipment complaints (don't get me wrong, Bass is great, but for archery supplies, hands down this is where you want to go) because he threw in some extras to address every one of them before calling my order complete.

The welcoming response I initially got on the phone was really refreshing (after dealing with several other stores who did not seem to have much interest in helping me find what I needed), and I am completely impressed with the above-and-beyond customer service, as well as how quick and easy he made it to get what I wanted - and finally I have a perfect fit!

I absolutely recommend Traditional Archery (especially if you're new to the art and want help without someone making you feel like an idiot) and I will not be going anywhere else for archery supplies.

I won't and don't bring my guitars anywhere else. Eric and Jake are both masters at their profession and their attention to detail is outstanding. Their work is guaranteed and they are very honest.

I've had a couple guitars set up there, new pickups swapped in, new nuts.they did a great job. I brought a vintage MXR Distortion+ pedal for them to look at thinking it needed repairs, they didn't charge me anything as they didn't find anything wrong with it. The only downside for me is that they are an hour away from where I live.

I just had some long overdue maintenance performed on my '89 Strat Plus along with some pick-up switch mods. I LOVE IT. My axe sings from nut to body. I bought it new and it never sounded as good. Thanks Doctor.
