Top quality work with very reasonable turnaround times. Nicholas is pleasant to deal with and takes great pride in his work.
Nicholas at Carolina Music Hub is a genius guitar tech. Fast and knowledgeable beyond his age. He set up an old Guild for me and now I cannot stop enjoying it! He cleaned and tweaked my 67 fender Daphne Blue Mustang to perfection. Restrings my slot head Taylor and knows his stuff. Turnaround is good considering…
Very quick and informative experience. My Fender Strat looks brand new! Did the deluxe restring and will be coming back.
Phenomenal work, faster turnaround than expected. Setup on a Martin acoustic was perfect. Highly recommend!
Great little shop. Fair prices and high level of knowledge. Just had a complete upgrade completed on one of my guitars and the work quality is exceptional. From the hand carved bone nut, to the neck planing and refretting, to the complete rewiring and upgrade of all electrical components including installing new…
Nicholas does a very thorough and good on my banjo. I'll use him if I ever have any other stringed instrument work done on my guitar, banjo or my mandolin.

Went in with a bass issue. Fixed issue and gave solid advise.
Nicholas at Carolina Music Hub is a genius guitar tech. Fast and knowledgeable beyond his age. He set up an old Guild for me and now I cannot stop enjoying it! He cleaned and tweaked my 67 fender Daphne Blue Mustang to perfection. Restrings my slot head Taylor and knows his stuff. Turnaround is good considering this guy should be in high demand round Hillsborough, Durham & Carrboro etc. Even took a jazz lesson from him for a gig and he set me up nice. Do ya self a favor. Carolina Music Hub. Oh and cool selection of guitars for sale. Amps 2.

Great little shop. Fair prices and high level of knowledge. Just had a complete upgrade completed on one of my guitars and the work quality is exceptional. From the hand carved bone nut, to the neck planing and refretting, to the complete rewiring and upgrade of all electrical components including installing new pickups, everything was done with quality and care. Highly recommended.
Nicholas does a very thorough and good on my banjo. I'll use him if I ever have any other stringed instrument work done on my guitar, banjo or my mandolin.
Great setup - a really good setup can inspire you to play differently, love it - great customer service too!
I brought my guitar in for a diagnosis. Nicholas was very helpful and professional with helping me with my guitar issues! He went above and beyond to help me out.
Nicholas is my guitar teacher. I’m working on rebuilding my skills because I haven’t played since high school. He is very patient and kind and has an amazing depth of knowledge, having a degree in Music Theory as well as playing since he was a kid, including performing with many bands in the area. His acoustic skills are beautiful. You will thank yourself for taking lessons with him!
