Greg Boyd's House of Fine Instruments

Over the last year or so I've been getting my guitars in order, searching to make them perfect playing instruments. I've brought in acoustics, and multiple electrics. A Gibson J45, multiple Fender's, a Heritage Custom shop H-150, a Gretsch white falcon and a duo jet. Lon's work at Greg Boyd's shop is great and has only gotten better. You can trust them with your holy grail guitars. I've never been judged for being picky about what I'm after and feel like everyone in the shop has wanted to help. I'm originally from New York, and often took advantage of the excellent repair work at the storied, but long gone, mandolin bros. The work that Lon has done to my guitars reminds me of the attention to detail I received at that shop. We are beyond lucky to have a shop like this in Missoula.

Another awesome one from Greg Boyd's House of Fine Instruments! Even better than described. Great customer service from both Greg and Si. Fast shipping, great packing job, stunning guitar! 2013 Collings C10 maple w/cutaway. Note for some reason my previous review went away but it was another 5-stars for Greg and gang for the beautiful Collins OM1T I got not too long ago from him as well!

Greg and his shop are absolutely amazing. It can be hard to find a shop with someone as knowledgeable, friendly, professional, and personable with such an amazing selection of fine instruments. It was an absolute pleasure buying a guitar from Greg boyd's house of fine instruments. Thank you Greg for your service and help. I adore my Santa Cruz vj, knowing I bought from honest and genuinely nice people makes it even nicer.

Ordered a Tonegard for my mandolin. Called to verify it would fit in my case and got the information I needed. Shipped to my east coast location quickly. Great experience!

Greg runs my favorite vintage and fine instrument business. He sold a collectible steel for me, and I recently bought a Collings OM guitar from him: It’s an incredible guitar and Greg sold it for a great (more than fair) price. Plus he’s incredibly knowledgeable about all things “stringed”. He knew I’d want this Collings guitar, and invited me to try it—he was spot on.I’ve also had several guitars repaired by his talented staff. Last time I checked, Greg had over 100 guitars, mandos, banjos, and dobros in stock.

Did a nice job on fixing my old banjo. Nice folks who know what they are doing. Very reasonable prices. And they have a great collection of vintage instruments. If you play guitar and love old Martins -- be forewarned - this is the Candy Store.

I ordered an Ome banjo from Mr. Boyd’s online shop. I dealt with Ms. Teri, who was a pleasure to work with. The banjo was shipped expertly, and matched the description perfectly. It’s a fine banjo, and I am glad that I purchased it from the House of Fine Instruments. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a quality instrument and customer service experience.

Greg is an amazing fellow! He knows his stuff and makes sure you leave with something you’ll love even if he doesn’t have it, he’ll try his best to get the best fit for you. He’s someone you’d go to for instrument advice as well as sit down and have a good cup of coffee with. A great little store ,with a big heart.

Amazing service, knowledgeable staff, & the cutest dog you ever did see! These people are the heartbeat of music in Missoula. Support local business! At least come by to have a conversation. You'll leave a better person for it. (PS they like homemade treats <3 )

Great place to find vintage and fine guitars. Friendly and exceptionally knowledgeable folks. Greg himself will help you find what you're looking for, and makes terrific recommendations if you know generally what you're looking for, but not the specific instrument needed for the purpose. Expensive becauseof the quality inventory. Only good instruments allowed here.

My father was a dear friend of Greg Boyd when he was first learning how to play Mandolin. Got him set up with a great instrument and provided wonderful insight to set him on a path of creating a passion for this instrument and passing it on.Would recommend to anyone who either needs a place to start, or is looking to further their career/hobby in music.

Greg Boyd is a class act and this is a freaking great music store with awesome vibtage acoustic guitars (and others) with a ton of charm. Worth a trip off the highway for.

Greg adjusted the truss rod on my guitar on the spot. It plays so much better now. And he is a really pleasant person to have a conversation with. I highly recommend this shop.
