My boyfriend swears by the service of this music shop - so much so that he'll travel from Madison Heights over to Eastpointe just for repairs and whatnot. I went in there recently to get a vintage guitar set up (which was done excellently by their repairman), and was amazed. It looks like a tiny rinky-dinky place from the storefront on Gratiot, but it's actually quite spacious and is filled to the brim with great equipment. Though they didn't have any Gretsch guitars in stock, they did have nice Epiphones (even hollowbodies!), a few Fender Jags, and the notorious Fender Hello Kitty. Not only that, but they carry the Reverend guitars, which are manufactured right in Warren, MI, and are pretty kick-ass to boot. Their staff is extremely knowledgeable and helpful, and not rude or condescending like some other music places can be. In addition to their guitar selection, they have lots of amps, drum kits, sticks, and all sorts of music books so you can learn something new or elaborate on something old. Check Joe's out if you're in the area!
