I have found a new home to take my Martin guitar to at Tobias Music. The vibe is so laid back and enjoyable. My first visit to your shop was amazing and the staff were very courteous. Thank you for the great experience and the work on my guitar. Testimonial written by Dino on this site.

Every time i come in to Tobias, it’s always a warm and welcoming atmosphere. I decided to bring an electric guitar in to get set up with thicker strings and Colleen did a fabulous job! I could tell by the fine details of her work that she really cares about what she does. I will be coming back and i highly recommend Tobias for your guitar needs ☀️

I took my Martin 00028 there for a setup with some preferences noted in the guitar case. They nailed it and it was a quick turn around. Absolutely amazing.
