I met Ernie for the first time today and it was a pleasure. He was knowledgeable, honest, helpful and personable. He looked over my guitar free of charge and gave his opinion. He also gave me names of places in order for me to continue my research into my particular guitar’s value. When I am ready for repairs, I’ll be sure to go back to Ernie! 5 stars from me! He was well worth my 45 minute drive!
