They performed an excellent service and modifications on my guitars. Bob and his tech bent over backwards to make sure I was satisfied with work and in a timely manner. All other shops told me it would be a month before they would even look at it. Need go no further. I'll be back. Nice selection of new guitars and amps too.

Bob at Guitars on Main is exceptional. Based on a strong recommendation from my brother, I reached out to Bob to have a prails pickup/triple shot installed on a Godin A6. Bob knows his way around hybrid electrics. I drove 3 plus hours each way to get it done in an afternoon. Bob and his tech took great care of me and my guitar. Thanks Bob.

Took my Evertune guitar there for a setup as I was struggling to keep the guitar in tune.
Magic was done there and my guitar plays like a dream and has not gone out of tune in over 2 weeks and counting!
I am beyond thrilled with the service and quality. I would recommend this shop 100%
