yep lets get on rockpage and bitch. everything takes time. nice job guys way to fuck with someones store. The owner is a friend of mine and what you dont know is he had a heart attack three days before the opening the man almost died. his family and friends did the best we could to get the store ready. Im so sick of people om this site complaining about everything. Maybe i dont know support a few things. sorry to sound like an ass but the man is a freind of mine and has been there for me in some pretty hard times.

Sorry to hear of the owners health issues. Sounds like the store may have more to offer than what's on the website but I gotta agree that the website doesn't feature much and gives a bad vibe. Maybe someone should take the website down till it can properly reflect the store.

Let me get this straight. You wrote a negative post about a new store in Altoona that you have never actually been to? :(

It is in the building with the Athenian Cafe and the laundry mat.
It is on the side closest to Postal Express.

Took my guitar in to have the nut redone. It's a really nice shop with GREAT people. They gave my guitar the works and it plays better now than the day I got it. Ididn't dig through the entire store, but the prices I checked (and paid for the repair work) were outstanding.

Thanks Gigbox!!

I've actually done business there a couple times already since they opened. My friend even bought a guitar from there. I enjoy going to a store where there isn't some uppity fuckin' primadonna "know it all" behind the counter trying to sell you shit you don't want.
Anyway, being that they just opened, they had some great deals on sale. They also have used drums there for sale and I may even consider buying a set to keep in my basement for some cats to come jam on.....As far as the owner's heart attack, I wish I had known about it sooner and my prayers go out to him and his better health. If it means anything, I plan on buying from there a lot.....got my eye on quite a few things in there....

Oh, and this is for Naga...."WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU NEED?!" You better get your ass over here and play with the toy's you already have!! LoL!!! I'm gonna start charging you maintenance/upkeep fee's...oh and storage.... :twisted:

Thank every one for the Great comments on the store and your concerns for my health. I am doing much better now. Thank you so much. Your feedback on the store means alot to us, we want you to fell at home at the store and never want to feel pushed to buy something. Make sure you tell us good or bad things about the store so we can keep doing the right things and stop any bad things along the way too. Next summer we plan on have live bands out front and trying to have a october fest this year. we also are planning to have a deal of the week on great items not just something we want to get rid off so keep a eye out when you come in or watch for posting here.
