Well, it's almost been a year since I had the pleasure of buying my second Boucher (GR-SG-162T) from the wonderful people at The Fretted Buffalo. It's never too late to send accolades to the crew at The Fretted Buffalo. Bill is a great person along with being very knowledgeable about my purchases. Bill makes you feel like you are a friend from the start and always will be. Matt is awesome as well; and I had the honor of having Doug do a test drive on the GR and I know he loved it and probably owns one now as well. The store is awesome and I encourage fellow guitarists to pay a visit; it's a bucket list destination in my mind. Boucher guit...

Boucher guitars are a product that you can buy up front without even playing it, my guitar is amazing, something I don't deserve, LOL.

I successfully purchased two Bourgeois Touchstone Signature Guitars, the OM and the D, through mail order from The Fretted Buffalo. Matt and Bill provided exceptional support, ensuring a smooth transaction by offering a return option with discounted shipping rates. Both guitars arrived in pristine condition, expertly set up and ready for play. I am delighted with my purchase and plan to keep both guitars. I highly recommend The Fretted Buffalo and would gladly do business with them again. - Tom

I recently purchased a Doc Watson signature guitar from Gallagher Guitar co. The folks over here at The Fretted Buffalo provided top notch service every step of the way. This isn't just some typical guitar, but one of the highest quality craftsmanship. The store treated the purchase with the same delicate craftsmanship as the guitar itself. I unfortunately live on the other side of the country, but the guitar was received as if it was right out of the original workshop in Tennessee. If you are looking to buy the best of the best from the best of the best I highly recommend The Fretted Buffalo as your go to store for the finest made guitars yo...

Purchased a great Bourgeous octave mandolin on line. Bill made us a great deal and Pete coordinated the purchase and shipping. Great customer service, quick shipping, perfectly packed, all good. Nice selection of upscale stringed instruments and willing to deal. Highly recommend.
