Thanks for all your help and am looking forward to visiting your store in the future.                                                                                                                                      Marti, Michigan November 2011

Thanks for ordering an absolutely fabulous mandola ! The Collings MT2 Mandola exceeded every expectation. The scale length is perfect for me and the sound is incredible. I was concerned about the heavier strings that are standard, but alas, with the great set up, it is easier to fret than my mandolin ! I can play up the fret board on the A string to hit many of the nigh notes on a mandolin. The larger sound box has a real richness in tone and sustain. I have no problem with hammer ons and pull offs, even with the heavier strings. My hands are not large. This mandola works for me ! It looks great, sounds great ! I am sure this mandola will work for any genre.   It was well worth the  wait.  Thanks again.                                                                                                                                       Michael, Illinois  USA October 2011

Steve, Seriously... thanks for all your help. You went out of your way and I really appreciate it. It'll be exciting to wait for the (Weber) Bitterroot I know I want anyway, and it'll make for a loud Thanksgiving. And you can bet I'll spread the good word about Down Home Guitars and their great customer service.

Steve,
 The (Tim May & Dan Miller) event was wonderful, and as with all good things, much too short.  Your hospitality was wonderful,... This was like a house concert at someones house who just happens to have (a lot) of beautiful guitars.
 I look forward to attending some more of your scheduled events, lets see...David Grier, Special C....I just might have to move down closer to your store.
 Thanks much. You and your staff were wonderful.

Hi Steve ,  , I bought the McPherson from you  and I thought it was about time to say hello , This Guitar is outstanding , People are always asking me what is it? Where did i get it? I contacted Matt Gilsrud from the McPherson people and he sent me a box of brochures. Hardly a gig goes by that I don't get asked about it. I truly love playing it. Thank you again for a great Guitar ....Regards.

Steve, Just wanted to let you know that I received the 000-M (Matin) last Thursday and I love it. It really is "brand new" for an 11 year old guitar.  I put the new strings on and it really sings.  I took of the pickguard plastic too.....Thanks for your courteous help and quick shipment (packed really well also). I'll definitely keep you in mind for future needs and will let my friends know as well.

This is indeed the best guitar shop in the Region! I travel from Indiana to DHG because along with the high quality instruments (accessories, videos, etc.) the service is incredible. There are dozens of shops, between Indiana and Frankfort, and I only do business with DHG. If you are into acoustic music, you will find this place is inspiring!
Thank you Down Home Guitars! You guys do it right!

Steve,
I got the guitar today and I just wanted to say thank you for your help in making this possible. I probably would have settled for much less of an instrument had I not found your shop. I appreciate your patience as I played just about every guitar in your shop! I am extremely pleased with the McPherson - it sounds and looks just as good as I remembered. Down Home Guitars is a great place to buy a guitar and I have already encouraged others to find you as I did, on the web. I hope to stop by again some day if I ever make it back to Illinois.
Thank you!
