Chance Gardner Music Store

I moved to Palm Coast not to long ago and had been driving to Jacksonville and Daytona to receive very sub par tech work. I got recommended to Chance by a fellow guitarist and when my favorite guitar wouldnt produce any sound (Music Man Cutlass with active pickups) I was heartbroken and took my guitar to Chance to see if he could help. He took the time to see if it was an obvious fix while I was there but we were both a little stumped and said he would have it figured out within 3days as he was just closing for the day. I was not hesitant in letting him know how much I loved the guitar and would do whatever it took to be fixed. I was shocked when he gave me a call the next day and let me know my guitar was ready to be picked up. It ended up being a minor issue that no new parts were needed and all I was charged was an hour of labor at a very reasonable rate.
It is amazing to have someone I trust I can bring my equipment to for anything needed. NEVER bring your equipment to any of the big chains. Just check Reddit if you need proof. When you go in the shop it just looks like a real tech/luthier shop where you can feel the hours of work Chance has put in. It’s also evident by the amount of old school musicians I have connected with while in Chance’s shop.
If you made it this far don’t hesitate to trust Chance with your prized possession!

Took my strat in for a setup and its never played better. Also bought a 12 string Danelectro from there, sounds beautiful.

What a great place! Chance is the man! He was able to repair a very old special guitar for me and bring it back to life. I was told it could not be done, but Chance made it happen! Thanks brother. He also does custom builds and has a whole lot to offer at his music shop. And his manager Eli keeps everything in perfect tune!
🤘🏼

Great music store! I bought a nice acoustic guitar and other stuff I needed. I just started playing so Chance hooked me up with his instructor AJ. I have learned so much in a short period of time and I actually play music with AJ now. His studio is nice and big. Lessons are never boring and lots of fun!

A real guitar shop with just about anything you could ever need. New and used. I've purchased 2 guitars from here, and im very selective. And if they don't have it, they can get it for a very fair price! BTW this is where I would take my guitars to get setup or repairs!

Man, this place is absolutely amazing. I was in and out with my strat in beautiful condition. Had to get some things fixed to get it working again. Also got an awesome custom pick guard. Highly recommend. 5/5 stars easy.

If you buy a guitar from Chance or you get one somewhere else and let Chad set it up it always plays perfectly when you take it home.

Very friendly, knowledgeable service with very reasonable prices.

I would not recommend going to this store to have your instruments worked on based on my experience, the owner, Rafael, worked on my resonator guitar and I had to take it to another store to get it fixed, had to buy a part and pay again, the store is often closed during hours it’s supposed to be open, he sticks a note on the door, waited a half hour once and he still had not returned. Store is only open 4 days a week for 6 hours!
