Been going to Noll since David Noll was there! Stan, Jim & Steve are top notch techs & good people. Fantastic work, and great prices. Bob is also a superior amp repairman. Cant go wrong here. They have every facet of stringed instrument and amplifier health covered! Their fret surface; level & crown is the best & more reasonable price than can be imagined. AAAAA

Read to End. Nut replacement and setup. The nut slots were lower than the first fret. The action and neck relief are ok, but any open chord buzzes like a hornet, see first statement. Also the intonation is way off. BUT they are doing the right thing, acknowledged the mistake and are fixing it.

It might take months to get your guitar finished, so fair warning... But is is absolutely worth it. There is no place in RI quite like Noll. If you are a guitarist and your instrument needs work, this is the place.

These guys are amazing. My guitar plays, looks and sounds better than I could have imagined. Their prices are more than fair and the time in takes to get your instrument back is quicker than youd expect. I live over an hour away but this will be the only place I go too from now on. Thanks Noll Guitars!

I was referred to Noll guitars by a guy who works for me. He is a fabulous guitar player so I took his advise and brought my brand new 2020 Texas Tea Telecaster Ultra to Noll for initial setup after purchase. I had my guitar back in one week and the set up was absolutely fabulous! This guitar played very well from the factory but after the set up it is really on another level. I was so impressed that I dropped off my ES335 for a once over.. The staff was great, the price was very affordable and the work performed was Top Notch. I highly recommend Noll guitars....

Review №23

I started playing guitar about 6 months ago. I consider my self on the handy side and I changed my pick ups and set up my guitars as explained on YouTube videos. I thought I nailed it :) After they set up my guitar at Noll Guitars I was like WTF! Feels like the guitar is self playing! They deserve every penny they charge and I’ll take my other guitars to them for a set up too! For those who are as ignorant as me about guitars, please give them a try and see the difference they make yourselves!

Noll guitars is a truly independent operation. These guys are skilled luthiers and super knowledgeable about all things guitar. And theyre just cool. A true local treasure.

Review №28

I have had Stan and his talented team of luthiers work on several of my quality acoustic guitars. Their work and communication is impeccable. They perform outstanding repairs and tune-ups and then take the time to explain what was done and offer valuable advice to maintain your instrument. I learn something new every visit... thanks guys!

Review №29

Ive recently had work done by the guys on a couple of my guitars. They do very nice work, prices are reasonable and they stand behind their work, even a set up for 90 days. Also, very personable and helpful with information. Glad to have found this wonderful shop.

Awesome guys, awesome service. Walked in and was helped immediately. The owner installed a strap button on the spot in less than 3 minutes and did a great job. I highly recommend these guys for all your guitar needs.

Review №31

These guys are total professionals. They know 80s guitar setups and are the only shop I have ever been too (including Guitar Centers in the tristate NJ/NY area) who were able to properly set up my Floyd Rose for the kind of music I dig. You can trust them. Highly recommended.

Been going here for years now. Professional, couteous and very sagacious when it comes to all things stringed. Also have had amp work don and vintage pedals. I recommend them to friends, family and others all the time. I do not hesitate one second to bring any of my stuff there. They are leaps and bounds above most repair shops in a 50 mile radius.

Great place for pickup upgrades and amp repair. Nice guitars and amps on sale also. They do a wiring like the s-1 switch, but with more usable settings, instead of parrallel.

Review №64

Walked into Noll Guitars thinking that my two year old Fender needed its jack replaced because I was getting some static. It turned out that it was something minor and three minutes later, after Stan and Steve took a look at it, it was fixed free of charge! It was very reassuring knowing that I was dealing with two honest guys. In fact, I am going to bring in my Jaco fretless bass to get set up with some Rotosounds. Noll Guitars is the best!
