Anyone ever is Brown's Guitar Factory in Minnesota?

[Lord Toneking]

I have a guitar that I bought online that was sent there for some 'fret work'
Any info would be appreciated

Thanks

I have never been there but I travel to the twin cities pretty often for work. Did you get shafted? The owner has a soul patch that should have reassured you lol

FWIW, those are some of the ugliest electrics I've ever seen.

Brown's was the highest recommended shop in the Twin Cities when I lived there. I moved away a decade ago, but had them do some work on guitars that was above my comfort level. It was all top quality work and I recommended them to others. I wouldn't be concerned about the quality of Brown's work.

The only caveat is I moved away from there 10 years ago and it'd been a good 5 years before that since I had them do anything. It's always possible they've gone downhill since of course.

Well, I hope not. I paid a lot of money for Guitar from Music Go Round. The salesman informed me that there were some issues with the fret ends and they wanted to get it in 100% perfect condition. I said ok and asked who would be doing the work. He told me Brown's Guitars, and that they were the "best"

I'm just wondering if I should ask for my money back or just wait till I recieve the guitar? I paid top dollar and I'm just wondering why frets would be bad on a one year old Suhr guitar in "unplayed" condition

Great news. I'm glad it worked out for you. Which Music Go Round did you purchase your guitar through? There were two big ones that carried a lot of nice gear, and then there were several smaller ones around when I was there.

Also, pics.
