i know there are some fellow south jersey folk in the audience, and i've got a question for you all. i just moved back down here, and i'd like to find a shop (other than guitar center) where i can go and get a setup done. anyone have any recommendations in the area?

Hmm.. well the only three stores i know of that you could, would be Guitar Center(as you said), Sam Ash, and BlackHorse Music

Where are you at? That would help out a lot since So. Jersey is really a broad kind of place. I don't wanna send you an hour off from where you are.

I still came on these boards, and until you guys talked about Guitar Central, I never thought there was a guitar chain store.

don't EVER go to the Music Place in Westmont. Those guys scare the living hell out of me.

most guitar centers i've gone to don't do their own set-ups but typically have contracts with an outside tech shop. i know this is the case in chicago and st. louis, cuz i asked for the name of the shop and just went straight to them. you might just go to GC and ask if there are other shops to do "intricate" or "detailed" work and they'll help you out. then buy a pack of strings and they're happy.

i'm in marlton, so the closest GC is the one in cherry hill. i've actually heard that they do good work there. I think i just need a setup done, but i'm not sure.

Honestly I don't like the Guitar Center in Cherry Hill (for acoustic guitars anyway). The people there are not really customer friendly, and it is way over priced. I find it good for only going in and jamming on the expensive Taylors and Martins. I usually go to the Pitman Music Museum near me in Pitman, NJ (20 minutes or so from Cherry Hill). They are cool and do work well.

peace

you got an address for this place? pittman isn't too far at all, so that would be good. where is the museum?

I don't have an addy on hand. I just know how to get there from my house. If I get you the physical address of the place, I think that you might be able to get there using Mapquest or whatnot...

The addy for it that I found is:

Music Museum
405 South Broadway
Pitman, NJ 08071
(856) 589-4318

This is a link to the map...I hope it works

peace

Sam Ash(same plaza as GC) in cherry hill might be a good idea for getting a setup done.. go to both the places and compare prices
