Testimonials

I recently bought two Collings mandolins from Steve and had them shipped over to Japan. Doing that, sight unseen, on a couple of expensive instruments is a somewhat risky thing to do. However, I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. The mandolins exceeded my expectations in terms of sound, playability, and overall quality. Steve’s service and communication was totally professional and the transations and shipping went flawlessly. His descriptions of the instruments were very honest and accurate. I have no hesitation in highly recommending Down Home Guitars. Thanks!

Kudos to Frank on my Strat Blackie! It plays flawlessly, sounds better than ever. He not only tweaked it he educated me on the finer intricacies of how the Blackie works. So glad I met these guys, and that I got my first Cordoba. Ten stars across the board!

When you want to buy a $5000 guitar from abroad, I can tell you that you get a lot nervous about the way it is going to go.
I bought a MARTIN D28 and first the communication was very easy with Steve. Once the order and payment was done, everything went so smoothly. Ordered on Monday night delivered to my door in France near Paris Thursday Noon!! The guitar is amazing and the care they had in packaging it and the speed in delivering. it is a dream come true!
Thank you so very much!

I’ve gone thru three or four boutique OMs in the past 15 years and this Collings OM1 will be the last one I ever own because I’m going to focus on playing while I still can. Thanks Steve!

Bought from Steve and his crew sight unseen. They shipped to Texas with no problem at all. Packed my new guitar like a baby. They were helpful and honest and carry the type of gear I like. I have already bought another guitar from them and will buy many more. I recommend these guys to anyone looking for premium gear at honest prices. Simply the best.
