Testimonials

On 9/6/2024 Dennis S. had this to say:
A real pleasure to buy a guitar from this store. Paul went out of his way to help me and provide his insight into some of the guitar I was shopping. I bought the best sounding guitar int he shop as so the sign said-LOL- A beautiful Martin 00018 setup perfectly to sound like a Martin but play like a Taylor then rechecked for a final inspection by Ken before it left the store. Included in my purchase were humidifier packs and a note from Mom (Margaret) on how to properly care for my guitar and thanking my for my purchase. this is the shop to go to for your acoustic needs.

This is the best Taylor and guitar repair shop in Illinois. I have been bringing my guitar here for setup since 2018, and it's the only place I trust with my beloved instrument. Pops does an excellent job.

Picked up this F-2512ce import on Facebook Marketplace and it was a mess. I couldn't even use a capo on it because it was so out of wack. My other guy was 2 weeks out to do a complete set up. I found Tobias on line and thought I would give them a shot and the did not disappoint! Nate did a great job. They are my new go to place for a setup moving forward. Plays like a dream. I don't want to put it down!

On 7/12/2024 Ron R had this to say:
I had a great telephone experience with Tobias Music, especially Paul Tobias. I had not played a Taylor maple bodied guitar and was unsure of the voicing it would give me. I have had some Taylors with rosewood bodies that were very sharp voiced. Did not want this on the maple guitar. Paul assured me that this would not happen with this guitar. He felt Taylor had done their homework on this and I would, without doubt, like this one. He said the voicing is unique and would not be like my other guitars at all. He was right on; it is different and precisely what I wanted. He gave me time to try out the guitar and send it back if I didn’t like it, but that will not be necessary. I put the order in late Wednesday and had the guitar Thursday afternoon. The packaging was great! Could have thrown it off the truck without stopping and I don’t think it would have damaged anything. Would definitely buy from them again. Thanks again, Paul Testimonial written by Ron R on this site.
