Review β„–1

Now here is a Fort Wayne ORIGINAL: ...from way back, now me being the master musician and master producer that I AM of Music πŸ€«πŸ˜‰πŸ˜ (the gift God gave me of Music & the production of such) oh how I love it so. ❀️☺️🀩..now this right here is a good place to go or should I say Is THE BEST PLACE to go In my town of Fort Wayne Indiana for Guitars & Services. the owner name is Skip Calvin. now hes been around a long time, he teaches guitar and does repairs & restorations. I learn by ear & was self taught myself. I can strum all the days long, but hes going to teach me to actually PLAY (or shall I say SLAY πŸ˜πŸ˜„πŸ€—πŸ˜Š) and hes going to get all my time, attention, and πŸ’²money for his renowned teachings of the his great craft of Guitaring...now the Fort Wayne Guitar Exchange over on Wells Street the address is 1517 Wells Street; this phenomenal Archive of a building and store has nothing but beautiful guitars that sound so crispy make you want to smack your mama 2x till Wednesday. πŸ˜†πŸ˜†πŸ˜…πŸ˜„πŸ˜³πŸ€ I got in there and seen those different guitars that he has in there it just flipped me out. 😲 I just couldnt believe it, so much so that I have two electric guitars 🎸 that I own in which I am taking both of them in there and their and hopefully come out of there with a beaut of a good trade on some acoustic guitars. Because I love the sound of a good acoustic guitar πŸͺ• 🀀 to MΔ— aint nothing like them in all the World. I can strum all day, but technically...I can not really play aesthetically. πŸ₯ΊπŸ˜žNow the pictures that Im going to show you is going to reflect the the beauty of this store and what he has in here in store for you as well. Honestly, Ive never seen before the sounds that they make of glorious omnipotentcy. It is a good sound in to the ears of God. πŸŽΆπŸ‘‚πŸΎπŸ™πŸΎ and I never seen some of the things Ive ever seen in here. I heard of them maybe, but he got some guitars in here I have never even heard of before, never seen in my life. πŸ˜―πŸ˜ŽπŸ‘ŒπŸ½πŸ€ŸπŸ½πŸ€™πŸ½πŸ‘πŸ½ so if you want to see some cool stuff at a good price because most of what he has in here is used and reworked that he did himself. In that you cant even tell unless you know theyre older somethin. with some being brand new and he has some new to order. but most of all in here is used. (awesomeness 😁🀩😲) he does buy, sell, and trade...so thats exactly what Im going to do. Trying to see if we can show each other some love. and he was down with that. so go to see Skip Calvin today. (the owner) he is on Wells Street right off from downtown Fort Wayne, thats where I reside exactly thats where I reside.. downtown of the greatest City in all the USA so come on down yall! Im on my way tomorrow and the next day and the next day..😊 why not meet me there, and tell him that I sent you:O. C. Corey aka Amerigod β™‰πŸ‘‘ πŸ˜πŸ€“ πŸ˜‰πŸ˜Š ❀️ πŸ’―,000,000,000‼️

My first time in this rare β€œold school” guitar shop! I’m a touring musician and needed some work on my Les Paul: he set it on the desk and started in immediately. He finished quickly and had me on the road in no time, but not without some guitar fellowship and great stories! I highly recommend this shop, some great guitars for sale and sort of a time capsule back into the 70s:)

What a great locally owned shop! The owner is friendly and knowledgeable, and prices are very reasonable. We got a new guitar for me to begin again, but he had used options available. He also gives lessons and repairs guitars.

Spent a good while chatting with the owner, Skip, and i really enjoyed my experience! The business is currently a one-man operation so its best to call ahead, but definitely worth it. The service was excellent, the selection is eclectic and cool, and the environment has that hidden gem quality that us musicians look for. If you like old/unique/weird guitars then you will love this place!ALSO: Contrary to what the Facebook page says this shop is still alive and well.

Neat place. Very knowledgeable owner. Sold a 🎸 i had laying around that was not getting any play(pun intended) and was paid a more than fair amount for it. Pretty much what i bought it for,actually. Rock on

If you need classic quality instruments with great guys you should check out Fort Wayne Guitar Exchange. Its worth the trip. Great staff. We are lucky to still have small guitar shops with people who are not only enthusiastic about what they do but go over the top to help you.

Wow, you delete bad reviews? No wonder you have such a high score. What a joke. This place had my guitar twice. They were nice people but the same problem persisted and I had to take it somewhere else.

I needed my acoustic guitar to be setup and Chip did an A++ job! (A setup is lowering the action, etc) he custom cut and installed a bone neck and saddle pieces, and we set it up with elixir nanoweb strings and now my $100 Jasmine guitar sounds better than my $1000 Martin!

Love this shop, its not the huge Walmart wanna be guitar store. Very friendly staff. They actually have parts in stock if youre looking for that knob or saddle piece your guitar is missing.
