Reviews of Advanced Guitar & Amp Repair

Shanda & The Howlers

I took out my P Bass a few days ago to get ready for our tour in Belgium/Holland. This bass is the model I just fly with so it had been sitting unused for awhile. Much to my horror, I noted an issue with the pickups and we were leaving in a week! I called Jim and he said bring it right in, I got it back two days later all fixed and ready to go with some excellent adjustments as well. This is the second time Jim has done a quick, knowledgeable repair for me. Highly recommend Advanced Guitar. Support the local small businesses!

Recently moved down a door or two. Just look for the classic red convertible.

This is an amazing local business that provides excellent amp and guitar repair and has some amazing vintage gear. They fixed my amp twice and only charged me once which was extremely kind. He also used to build guitars with my dad at Mahoney‘s so I am a little biased.

A fantastic location with truly talented and skilled staff. They are a part of the community and they were always there for me during a trying time. Strongly recommended and truly the pinnacle of the value of small businesses. I wish I could find email contact info to send some images. I am in need of minor repairs but it is difficult to find the time to go in.

Jim is a master. He replaced a pre amp in my Takamene guitar. No one else in town knew what to do. I trust him with all my guitars. He is amazing. Thanks Jim.

Jim had restored and set up my 1980’s Epiphone Strat (yeah, i said it) quick and at a reasonable price! Now my guitar plays and sounds better than it ever has. I’ll let this man set up any of my guitars, any day. Thanks, Jim!

Advanced guitar is one of the coolest music stores I’ve ever been to. Not only do Jim and Shawna provide top-notch repairs, but the store itself has a number of guitars and amps that are amazing. Jim worked on two guitars and a Mesa Boogie amp. On one guitar I wanted the action lowered further after the initial work was done. I simply brought it back to Jim and he fixed it for me while I waited. Also, this was done for no additional charge. As mentioned the store is full of vintage guitars and amps. Rather than going to Guitar Center, check out the inventory at Advanced. I can’t praise this place enough Do yourself a favor and go there

Just dropped my new guitar off for a setup, after meeting Jim, I feel 100% confident that when i pick it up it will be done right, and if not they will make it right! It was a pleasure to visit this place, it is smaller than the big box places, however, it is a friendly and inviting place, and the personal level of service you receive is second to none, everyone makes you feel right at home. Looking forward to visiting this place for all my future guitar needs!

Jim is great. The big box music stores, no one has time to chat with you or really give you anything but a sales pitch. Jim takes the time and is incredibly knowledgeable. He does what he says he's going to do...does it on time...and usually does a little more! Totally pro. He has fixed or done maintenance on several of my guitars and I plan to bring others to him. Also, his shop is like a "grandfather's attic" of great instruments and, unlike other places, you're welcome to play them and try them out. The "good ones" aren't out of reach or locked behind a glass case! Thanks for taking care of my "babies," Jim!

Found him! Went to the wrong place! He’s great.

jean daigle

Jim is just an outstanding luthier. He has been very good to us. I think every guitar we own has come from his shop with one exception. Some great vintage amps too.

Dave Welborn

Jim did an excellent "major" repair of my old 1918 The Gibson A3. Could not be happier with the work.

June Israel Aquino

This review is long overdue. I took my son's Bugera Bass Amp to this shop a few months ago because the manufacturer was of no help at all. The couple who own and operate the shop were very friendly and accommodating. They took their time addressing your concerns and laying out what the plan of action for your equipment. After two weeks and still no help from Bugera they were very honest and told us they were not able to repair the amp. I would highly recommend this store to anyone who requires their musical instruments serviced.

Chrissy Magdaluyo

Highly Recommend! Jim gave me a new set up and now my guitar plays like a dream! It may be a small business but don't be fooled. It's run by professionals who have the skills and expertise and also deliver when promised. Thank you!

Jonathan Wong (Jonni)

Went in to get a guitar repaired for a friend and I know NOTHING about guitars. But they helped me out no problem at all. Explained everything along the way and were really friendly and personable about it. Gorgeous guitars in there as well. Good stuff!

Fred Lennox

Jim Poisson is a great guitar tech. Known him since when he worked at Mahoney's. Even though it's been a while I came across his website. He set up my Les Paul Triumph bass and converted my Ibanez into a fretless. Can't say enough about the guy, great tech and good work ethics. Always willing to send work his way...

I have a very old instrument, an Octophone from the 1930. I brought it to Advanced Guitar so they could have a look. The neck needed a reset, among some other issues. They said it could be fixed. It took some time but when I went to pick it up, I was amazed. The neck was perfect and all the other issues were fixed. Now it plays beautifully and sound great. If you have an instrument that you care about, this is the place to get the job done right at a reasonable cost too. Advanced Guitar is number one for me. You won't be disappointed. Jimi is a great luthier and he takes care of all my instruments. Be going to Advanced for many many years. So give them a call.

I've brought several very sick acoustic guitars to Jim at advanced guitars and he has brought them back to life and they are playing phenomenally!!!!! Recently, I brought my completely unplayable Rickenbacker that I've taken to everybody (from ed roman to gary moon) Jim worked his magic on it, rebuilding a new fingerboard. Now the guitar plays like a dream! I recommend Jim @ ADVANCED GUITARS for all of your guitar needs.

Greg West

I took my Gold Tone BG250F bluegrass banjo to Jim at Advanced Guitar because of a longstanding intonation problem that had be driving me crazy for a long time. Jim diagnosed the problem as being the result of a faulty bridge (even though I had it custom made) and an improperly tuned head. Jim made me a new bridge, tune the head (something I had read about but could not do myself), adjusted the action and filed the worn frets down. The resulting tone of the banjo was brighter and crisper with more sustain and without the annoying, note deadening overtones. The adjusted action also made it much easier to play. I would highly recommend Advanced Guitar for your instrument repairs and alterations.

Mike Hodes

Not only are they exceptionally nice people the quality of the work went above and beyond my expectations. People who actually care about your guitar and for what they charged I live in la and I know I could have spent way more here. Highly suggest

Diego Trujillo

I had a cheap schecter I had bought and I found it to be ok for a first guitar. These guys did a set up for 65.00 bucks and they did an excellent job. The turn around was a little longer than originally quoted, but it was completely worth it. Im not sure if I need to even buy another guitar now. Im loving the way it plays. Do yourself a favor and take your guitar here. You wont regret it.

dj dj jay

The owner is super nice and gave me a free gig bag set up and strings when I got a new guitar. He knows his stuff and is not a dick like the big shops.

Susan Sneath

Amazing work, time after time, I have taken my instruments to Advanced Guitar and the staff and owner have always been great. I have over 32 guitars and after going thru most everyone in las vegas reputable, I landed on jims door step pleading for help with a few real problem child guitars, Impossible fixes made possible by Jim and Billy (RIP he now works for Circe Du Soile...lol) 90% of the time jim nails it on the first fun sometimes things still need a little more tweaking but He always supports his work and always comes thru with flying colors. Thanks Jim and Advanced Guitar for Keeping my instruments on Stage and performing like a pro. Bruce Sneath

Mark Kunie

Highly recommend the staff and service! They treat you right and are a persnalized small, knowledgable business thats cares. Not too many of these guys left anymore! Such a beautiful vintage amp selection, will make your head spin. If you need any music related items, try this place first. I will be back!!

Jessica Evans

Stopped in for the first time met with Jim and friend William. Highly recommend using Jim's services. I wish him the best and look forward to seeing future projects. Including investing...

Jules Martinez

Mr James Poisson is super friendly! Nice little store if you like that kind of vibes, lots of rare and old-school guitars! I recommend it !

Jerry Conner

I have a number of amps that I have bought on e-bay, They worked but were never quite right. I took them to Advanced and within 2 days I had them back and they sounded awesome. Much better than they have sounded since I bought them. Thanks Guy.

Gerald “Jerry” Brimer

No sign on shop but you can see the instruments throu the winow about halfway from the street to the Theaters.

Jim is a gr8 guitar repairman, salesman, only person I trust with my custom fender strat and advice for my guitars

Mac Anoodough

I was in the market for a cheap strat and stumbled across this shop. Great service and a great experience. And lots of guitars at great prices.

Biker Bob

Jim is outstanding. Extremely knowledgeable and always willing to help. Worth the 240 mile round trip. Thanks Jim.
