Guitar Haven

Awesome guitar shop! We just love this place. It looks and smells like you are inside of a giant dusty humbucker, or in the back of an old fender deluxe. Howie has fixed a few of my les paul necks, and banjos and they are holding up perfectly going on 10 years. I find great things in there for beginner, intermediate and pro. I highly recommend this place, only down side is the crazy parking lot, not their fault though, too many shops beachside, but you can usually get a good story about the old days from the hippie surfers that haunt guitar haven.

Thanks,

Excellent people. The owner Howie knows his stuff. If you need to trust your instrument to get repaired Howie is the guy. Rick lessons are great too!

Recently purchased a Martin and wanted to have it looked at/professionally setup. I felt the action was a little high for my liking. Brought it in to guitar Haven and was told that the guitar did not need any work just yet. Howie advised me to hold off when he could have just made an extra couple dollars. That's the type of honesty and integrity that should be found in a luthier! I will definitely be bringing all my guitars here for my luthier needs!!! Thanks again Howie!

Guitar Haven, treated us like Family! Bought my Son guitar/amp, so pleased with this place, and we are from Oklahoma! Awesome people!

Very professional personel. I went there to repair a puertorican cuatro because everywhere I went before told me it was beyond repair. They took their time but when finished it was just like new and the sound was perfect, my son is using it and loved it.

took a new guitar to howie for set-up as it was pretty rough from the factory...just picked up, and wow! what a difference! he needed to adjust virtually everything to get the intonation and action right including bridge and saddle work...new strings (wound correctly on the locking tuners) finished off the set-up...just played it for an hour and it feels awesome...it is a great little shop with a really cool vibe...reminds me of my old hometown guitar shop from the 70s...if you need guitar work, howie is your guy!

Brought in my PRS with a bad crack near the headstock...Howie did a outstanding job on the repair...when playing you cannot feel the crack at all..neck is smooth. I also had him do a restring and setup on the guitar. Love how it plays and feels. I highly recommend Guitar Haven for all your local guitar needs. Howie and his brother are friendly and knowledgeable with all things music! Rock on!

Had may Larrivee adjusted here, refreshingly renewed. Great advice on how to continue caring for my guitar. Friendly service, extremely knowledgeable. I didn't realize this is basically the same folks that were downtown all of those years, I had really missed them. Planning to come back soon for additional things done on my other guitars.
