Gryphon is in Acoustic Guitar Magazine again!

The February 2012 issue of Acoustic Guitar magazine has an article called "19 Shopping Tips (smart guitar-buying ideas from five well-known shop proprietors)."

Will Gryphon's Summer-Night Hero Please Check In?

The Gryphon Advantage

One of the things that makes Gryphon special is something, or someplace, most people never see: our repair department. Before we put an instrument out for sale, we set it up for optimum playability. We guarantee that you will have an instrument that will play correctly. If we can't adjust it, we will not sell it. Our six full time technicians stand behind that guarantee. They can also repair and modify your instrument in the future electric or acoustic and if you purchased it here, you will get a 25% discount on labor.
