Grant, thank you once again for all your help and enlightenment.   I think we’ve found a new guitar shop in you guys for future business.  Very refreshing!

Just wanted to thank you Brian for facilitating the purchase of the 1970 Martin D18.  I didn’t intend on buying anything that day and appreciate your help on getting it done.  Thanks again! Pass along my thanks to the Luthier who took a look at the guitar and say hi to the rest of the crew down there, a friendly bunch they are. 

Hello Grant. Just want to let you know that my banjolele arrived on Monday afternoon, so the postal strike didn’t hold it up too long. I’m delighted with the quality craftsmanship of the instrument and I was right that the shorter fingerboard is much easier for my 81 year old hands! So, here’s a shot of me with it in my studio with my dog Dusty laying beside me. Now just to harden up my fingertips and loosen up my finger joints! (Dusty loves it too!)
Thanks for everything.

Best. John.

I received the guitar today. It’s even better than I hoped it would be. The Tennessee Waltz brought my wife in smiling from the other room. Thank you for the excellent service. 

I’d like to thank Jay in Repairs for doing such a great job installing the pickup in my old Martin. It seems to play much better too with the different bridge.
It is hard to explain to the uninitiated how nuance plays such a huge part in our musical adventures.  And it is strange that after 45 my D35 still sounds like me!
Many thanks

The guitar came safe and sound.  With that case I don’t know why it wouldn’t! You were right, it is a gem.  It seems like it hasn’t been played much.  Hardly a mark on it.  I know it is 26 years old.  Do you think it will open up more, being a spruce top and all? Anyhow, I’d like to thank you Grant for your high level of expertise and professionalism. I am very pleased with this guitar! 

Thank you again!
