Being a very hands-on and OCD person, I hate people working on my guitars. However on a recommendation, I took one of my babies into Third Coast and had the pleasure of dealing with Nate. He made me a believer and now 3rd Coast are the only shop allowed to “baby sit”
If you cherish you instrument and want it looked after by someone with precision and care, there is nowhere better in the city of Chicago.
