I have a beautiful 1973 Precision Bass with a broken nut. I took it to Kevin at Grumpys and he did a beautiful, professional repair. Kevin is a true professional guitar tech. I highly recommend him, you can trust him with your precious, expensive guitars.

We bought a guitar from a thrift shop for someone that was going through a tough time. The guitar had a missing string so we stopped by the nearest guitar spot which happened to be Grumpys Guitar. I'm not much of a guitar connoisseur but this place has the vibe of being the spot for all things guitar. The customer service was superb and our guitar got strung upon arrival. After hearing our guitar mission, we were not charged anything for this charitable cause. I'm happy to report that this made a huge difference in the life of an individual during a very challenging time and partly because this business contributed with their expertise. If you're into guitars or have an interest, please stop by and check out Grumpys Guitars. They are experts in this field and have a heart of gold.

I'm new to playing, and my gem of an instructor has lent me a guiyar to practice on for several weeks. It was time. I love to support local so googled and came across Grumpys. I thought, I'm grumpy, probably the place for me. Covid safe practices, and masks still enforced here. When the door opened, I was greated I said, "are you Grumpy?" The gentlemen replied,"my name is Kevin." He probably gets that a lot. I explained that I was just learning and what my budget was, and was shown a few options. I checked three different acoustics and Kevin was very knowledgeable about each one and patiently answered all my questions even though I knew almost right away which one was mine. Beautiful shop that's nicely organized. I walked out with a great guitar and left an old steel lap to get worked on. Will go back for maintenance whenever it needs it, this is included with the purchase, and any accessories I find myself needing down the line.

Kevin did a great job on my Gibson G45. I ordered the guitar online and had a hard time setting it up. It was then I noticed the neck seemed warped. I had Kevin take a look and he confirmed there wasn't really much I could do other than raise the bridge quite high. And although it solved the problem, the guitar was very hard to play. I ultimately returned the guitar to Gibson and got a refund.Very professional and helpful.

I came in here this past Saturday as I was having some trouble with my ukelele. I wasn't sure if it was tuned correctly and also a trusted musician friend thought I should probably get another ukelele.I believe Kevin was at the counter and he immediately helped me with friendly and down to earth attitude. He played around a bit with my uke and in less than 5 minutes, he tuned up my uke and gave me some super helpful tips, at no cost at all.He told me that I need to practice more and the strings will be better tuned once it has been played for awhile. He also told me that Makala (my uke is made by them) and Ohana brands are really reliable companies that make ukes. He even showed me a baby uke he had. And he told me that the public library allows you to check out ukes and plenty of meet up groups to play uke together. Kevin was super helpful, knowledgeable and one of a kind. I will definitely be back here for any of my future uke needs and will def support this mom and pop and you should too!

Did an awesome job restringing my classical guitar, which I'd attempted to do myself, and didn't charge me for his time. Thanks again!

They have alot of prejudice. Just make sure you go in there and know exactly what you want from them because otherwise they will do their best to make you feel unwelcome and uncomfortable. They are only good at repairs.

I had two guitars set-up with Kevin (one electric and one acoustic). Just have to say they both play like butter as Kevin said. Great service, small business, fabulous work and he makes sure your happy before you leave. Definitely a surprise find! Thanks Kevin! I'll be back!

Helped us out with our Fender acoustic. Cleaned up the guitar and replaced some broken parts for us and now she sounds as beautiful as the day we got her.

My son and I have been visiting Grumpy's Guitars for several years. Kevin is a great human and superb technician! he is an outstanding conversationalist and shares his vast knowledge freely. The cost for an acoustic setup is very reasonable. The playability is better than new.Needless to say, we will continue to be repeat customer's and let others know about this Albuquerque gem. Why go anywhere else if you're a local?If you are passing through with a less than optimal guitar, drop in and let Kevin work his magic. You will not be disappointed!See ya soon Kevin!
