I brought my Ovation in for a setup last Friday, AL had it ready for pickup the next day. Al and Mary are very personable and knowledgeable. I will be stopping in the next time I'm in the area. My guitar plays so much better.
Thanks Frantic Frets

Real fun place to visit with lots of great guitars and other "neat stuff." Be prepared to have comical and insightful chats with the owners! Conscientious and careful guitar repairs too.

Cool shop, with dozens of quality vintage guitars and other cool gear. They gave me a great price in a US fender jazz bass. Friendly folks, low pressure, great vibes. Worth a trip

Al and Mary are truly wonderful folks. Not only does their shop have cool stuff but they are both a delight. They have some neat antiques and if you are a musician, this will be your new spot. Not only does Frantic Frets have a fantastic selection of quality instruments but Al is wonderful at servicing both guitars and amps.

Mr. Al and Mrs. Mary are some of the nicest people I know. They are very personable and honest people.
I have been very satisfied with any gear I've bought and with all of the work I've had frantic frets do to my gear. They will forever get my business! 😃
