Moondog Music Shop

Mike at Moondog Music helped me with 2 guitar projects last summer. First, I was struggling to assemble a high-end Fender electric guitar from pieces I had collected. I used a Fender certified shop in Pueblo (Elledge) to assemble it. That place was a disaster - they didn't do one thing right with the build. They even put acoustic strings on it! When I showed it to Mike for his opinion, he immediately saw the issues, including a couple I had not noticed. He had to take the entire thing apart but had it rebuilt and playing like a dream in 1 week. My other project was a "partscaster" custom build for a friend. This was a build from scratch (the complete guitar). I left this guitar with Mike for 2 weeks. I called him every few days to get updates and see if he needed anything. When I picked it up, it was exactly as I had hoped and, like the first, played like a dream.

I brought my Japanese Burny Super Grade guitar to Mike Judge cause I had met him out in Manitou and he told me about his shop. This is not a common guitar. All I wanted was him to take a look at one of my pots and do a set up. After 3 weeks I stopped by to see what was going on. he hadn't touched it! came back two weeks later to check and at this point he had lost one of the saddles on the bridge. Like I said this is not a common guitar. I left that day concerned but thinking he would figure it out. 2 weeks later I called he said I could order a saddle if I wanted. No communication from Mike once during the month and a half this is going on. I contacted him once again and he's complaining to me about all the time it took him to order the wrong bridge. I told him to just forget it and give me my guitar back undone , unstrung and missing parts. I believe he never made this project a priority in any way. I would strongly urge anyone to never to bring any of their instruments to this guy. Thank you and good luck!
