Bought a used lefty Martin that shipped from Connecticut. Arrived with a split in the top. Jim repaired it very nicely and I’m thrilled with the work! Will take all my guitars there!!! Highly recommended!

In 2008, I gave Jim my uncles 1920's Washburn parlor guitar to restore. He hand carved a rosewood pyramid bridge and restored the instrument to a playing status . He also has worked on my 1970 Martin D-41. Have know Jim for too many years to count and stand by him as a luthier as well as a great traditional style performer, and all around good human type being!!

Unique music store where you go 100 years back in time and arrive in the world of acoustic instruments. Of course you can buy a brand new guitar there, or a dulcimer, or a ukulele. But some of the vintage items for sale are totally enchanting. The owner of the store - Jim - is outstanding luthier. I've used his help with my guitars on many occasions and quality of his repair work is second to none.
