Wow! I brought my guitar in for a restring and Lightening Joe did some additional small repairs as well. When I got it home, I played it right away and I cried!! My guitar has NEVER sounded as good! It didn't even sound this good when I first bought it new (nice Martin guitar). I've been playing guitars for 50 years but never thought I was good at it. What a HUGE difference Lightening Joe made! They really are experts and I will be bringing my guitar back again!! Thanks for motivating me to play my guitar everyday again!

Cannot say enough about this place - Lightening Joe was in a world extraordinary. He repaired & refretted two of my 20+ year old guitars while providing excellent guidance for me to purchase my first new guitar in years. Lightening Joe gave me options on the repair work & was completely upfront about what was absolutely needed & what wasn’t. Equally he clearly stated what he could do as far as repairs & what he couldn’t - refreshingly honest. Marlene (Mrs Lightening) & the 2 Josephs (one with beard & one not) couldn’t have been nicer. I live over an hour away but I’ll coming here for all my guitar/equipment needs

What an incredible experience! As a drummer, I have to say that this is an awesome experience to see so many various stringed instruments! I love learning and playing my ukulele, and this place didn't disappoint, at all! I highly recommend, even if you're not a guitarist, to visit this place. Staff is excellent and very welcoming and very knowledgeable. You'll love it!

Rare is a guitar shop with such a selection. I am a touring guitar tech and I shop here to restock on parts and bits between tours. They have every obscure part I have ever asked for. Even more rare is a shop I can walk in. Ask for a switchcraft #11 jack. And the person behind the counter know exactly what I need. This is that rare shop where I can spit out the exact technical term for something and they know exactly what I'm talking about. Unlike gc that wouldn't know the difference between a one spot and an iec cable.

Our family has been patronizing Lightning Joe's Guitar Heaven for over 30 years. Excellent selections, knowledgeable crew, and experience for all ages. Appreciate your help in re-stringing and tuning my classical acoustic. Blessings to more love, life, peace, and 🎶!
