They are in Littleton. Maybe they’ve moved from the original spot?
I work in Ayer. We are close!

Thanks!
I was worried about the wider neck, but this guitar has a slim “performance” neck profile, so I am totally fine with it.
Also, it has a shorter scale, which makes playing, for me, much easier, as I do not have long fingers.
Yes, all solid woods, acoustic/electric, with built-in tuner,
and being new, I get the Martin warranty too.

Glad it worked out for you and major congrats!

I tried that once. Took into my local GC four guitars to trade (a couple nice Epiphone Masterbilts and others). I wanted a Gibson J-45. (Yes, I expected I'd have to add some cash.) I knew to expect to get only about 60% of my guitars' value. But they didn't even offer that. Plus to them the cases were worth zero. I took my guitars back home with me and sold them myself at near full value. (I used the income for a used jumbo Guild F-50R, and I'm continually glad I did!)

ah that's right they did move now that you mention it.

The previous location was in a strip mall in Acton, I think it's in a building more resembling a house these days??? still on 2A though IIRC..

Ayer is a hop skip and jump from lemon-town. but you knew that!

I was just frantically Googling the Minor Chord in Acton...I l grew down the road and still live relatively nearby. I had never heard of any guitar shop in Acton!!!! And Leominster, not far??? That's miles away.

Of course, it turns out The USofA has an Acton also.....


Nice guitar btw
