Wendell has been taking great care of my guitars since he was the guy at the Sam Ash down the road from his current shop. He’s fair, honest, expert and affordable. Always looks for the right solution for the customer, not to jack up the price for something you don’t need. He recently managed to repair the broken-off headstock on my student’s guitar! He also offers music lessons, and has a small but nice selection of gear for sale. Great business!

I live in Marietta, OH but have know Wendell since we were kids. He was always a guitar tech guru and even customized by first guitar I bought from him in the early 1980s when he was only a teenager. He has always been my go to when it comes to musical equipment advice. He recently found a beautiful Gibson Les Paul for me (my bucket list guitar) and advised, assisted and shipped me a pedal board amp which I was a little apprehensive of but trusted his judgement and he was right, it RAWKS! He recently set my Les Paul up for me, changed the strings and added strap locks on a recent trip home. Put your trust in him and he wont let you down!!!

Wendell is my guy. When my guitars require anything that is beyond my mere mortal abilities, I immediately call Wendell. He is well seasoned/experienced, always does great work, is forthright and honest, and it’s always a great hang going in to see him at the shop. I enjoy his expertise, but truly enjoy him as a person as well. Thumbs up!!

Wendell does high quality, reasonably priced work. He is also easy to get a hold of and communicates well with customers. I will be using him for all guitar-related work going forward.

Been taking my American Fender guitars to Wendell since he worked at a local music store. Heard he got his own spot and had to check it out. He has a reputation for honest good quality work. If you’re in the area or need any work done, stop by his shop.

If youre looking for a skilled and knowledgeable luthier to repair, upgrade or otherwise modify your instrument, Wendell is the guy. He knows how to build stringed instruments from the ground up, so he knows what will work and what wont, including combinations of pickups, caps, wiring setups, etc. Hes worked on three guitars for me since he opened his shop in Marietta, and hes done great work on each one. Never any unfortunate surprises, and hes a pleasant, friendly guy. Go see him.

Ive been playing for a few years but lacked the expertise to get the most out of my guitars specs. I heard tell that Wendell was one of the best in the area and a short drive from me so I had him take a look at one guitar. Next thing I knew, I had him basically set up my whole collection and he made them sound and feel better than I even knew they could. He explained everything he was doing in detail and took every effort to make sure I got a good deal in the affair. Hes an amazing luthier and clearly passionate about the trade of working with all manner of guitars. An awesome shop for your guitar needs that easily beats the bigger guys in terms of service :)

The absolute best service, from someone who really understands it all, from vintage to the most modern of setups. Ive had a career of odd wiring requests. This is the only place that always answers we can do that. Wendells delivers on all accounts by being knowledgeable, friendly, and fair. Absolutely worth the visit.

Moved back to Atlanta a few years ago and needed someone I could trust to work on my guitars. Heard he was “the guy” to go to by all of my musician friends. Took him my Jem to work on that I’ve only let one other person work on. Now Wendell is the only one I trust to work on my guitars. Hands down one of the most knowledgeable people about guitars, gear and so much more. Did I mention he is a hell of a guitar player himself? He is also a really cool guy too. I would always recommend going to see him over any other place.

If you are looking for an honest knowledgeable luthier to do any kind of work on your guitar,look no further.Wendell did two odd wiring jobs for me and made sure that I was satisfied with them.Never again will I use a big box store for any kind of service.He is conscientious and has a pretty quick turnaround.I will be a customer for life.

Came to Wendell after years of hearing his name around town as “THE guy to take your gear to”. Took one guitar into him one day, and now some time later, he looks after all of them. That alone could tell you all you need to know about my first experience. Furthermore, He has become my consult & advisor on all things involving my tools of the trade. I make my living playing music & am dedicated to the craft of being a musician, and to have someone with that same devotion and passion for playing and lutherie looking after your stable is invaluable. I’m sure that’s what you’ll find in Wendell as well.

Wendell is definitely your go to guy for any guitar repairs. You couldnt ask for a more professional and honest man to hand over one of your guitars too. I would highly recommend him to anyone for repairs.

I’ve been using Wendell’s services for the past decade and his work is impeccable. Every pickup install and setup he’s done on my guitars have always turned out perfect. I take my guitars only to him. Plus he’s a big fan of Eddie Van Halen so that just makes him cooler.

I honestly can’t say enough about Wendell. You’ve got guitar repair guys and then you’ve got dedicated luthiers who are part-scientist, part-engineer, part-artist, and all-awesome - that’s Wendell.I engaged Wendell to install a Floyd Rose FRX on my Jackson and after a couple of weeks he called me to tell me that the FR was defective. We worked with Floyd Rose, got the run around, they sent the wrong part, then the wrong replacement bridge, and then finally Wendell worked his magic and repaired the original FR and installed it.This whole process took a few months, but not because of Wendell. Wendell was patient, diligent, and perfectionist. When I picked up the guitar he showed me how it worked, how to adjust it, little tricks on how it works, and then had me play it to make sure I was happy.At no point did he rush or tell me that things were “supposed” to be a certain way. He made sure I was completely satisfied before I left.This was not an expensive job, but Wendell spend a considerable amount of time and effort on this and for that he has a customer for life.

Wendell has treated me like a king in this place. Hes not a guy that gives you the bill and sends you out the door. Wendell sat with me for 10 minutes and went over the improvements that he made on my guitar and he made sure that I knew everything that he did. Im bringing him all of my guitars in the near future because this guy makes things happen.

Review №34

Found Wendell’s name on TGP, so I texted him a msg because I needed another pair of hands to solder new pickups into a guitar due to a hand injury —as I I’m a DIYer. Wendell, without hesitation, said he would do it —and he finished the very same afternoon, exactly how I wanted them wired, and super neat! Cool guy... right! I understand I may have gotten lucky getting them done so fast (as you really shouldn’t count on same day service), but I have NO DOUBT that this is the level of service and workmanship you can expect from Wendell’s Music. As a bonus, his prices are very compatible with other repair shops in the area, making Wendell’s shop a no-brainer. HIGHLY recommended! 🎸🎶👍

Wendell is an accomplished luthier and musician. Hes the only one I would trust with repairs, adjustments, setups, custom mods, you name it. He has an ear for tone and can shred! If youre looking for some used gear or want to sell some, this is the place to go. Hes always honest and can help you make a sound decision and investment. This is a great place for music instruction and lessons as well!

Wendell has been in the music community for YEARS. I personally have known him only a fraction of the time he has been playing and working on music equipment. He has always been prompt, professional, and a pleasure to work with every time. Visit this store in confidence knowing youll be taken care of by the best!

Recently purchased from this shop on Reverb.com and had such a good experience i wanted to also leave feedback here. I had an issue at checkout on reverb (it was on my end btw) and contacted the shop. They were quick with help and suggestions. Received the guitar in 3 days after order was placed. The guitar is amazing! Excellent setup!!! Very nice people! I was a pleasure to do business here and will definitely do business with again, no question! Thank you fellas!!!!!

Visited the store today just to get Wendells blessings on a used Godin ACS I am contemplating. He said it is a great instrument and certainly worth the money the owners are charging for the the guitar. Otherwise, the tidy shop has huge potential. Looks like he is just getting started with consignment rigs which I am sure he has approved. I tried a few and was seriously tempted to buy a guitar refurbished by Wendall. No more new guitars for me. How is that for the environment Greta?

MAYO CLINIC FOR STRINGED INSURMENTS!Best Luthier out there in the Atlanta are by far! Very easy to work with and very patient with the questions coming at him. Wendell can custom build guitars and do Custom Mods. He has a unique ear for tone and is an expert at it. Does Setups and more. I am not going to deal with the big box guys any more. I like dealing with Wendell who sees to my Guitar needs for now on Since his honestly and integrity is in his core values.
