Mamas Boy Music

"Jim is the local Guitar Wizard! From lessons to set-ups, even simple things like string changes. He is a wealth of knowledge!"

"Jim was incredibly helpful in helping me purchase a new acoustic guitar. He took the time to let me try several different guitars while answering my questions and explaining the differences between them. I bought a beautiful Washburn, and I couldn't be happier. Highly recommended!"

"A little gem hiding in the back corner of the plaza. Brought my sons guitar into the store today because he had some damage to the fret which affected the sound and function of the guitar. I politely mentioned that it was a cheaper guitar for my 10 year old and that I wasn’t looking to dump a bunch of money into it but rather a cheaper fix so it would be playable. I wasn’t presented with an expensive repair estimate or an inflated explanation about how it needed more work. Rather, it was an honest assessment and repair that returned the guitar back to a condition in which it could be played without costing an arm and a leg. No need to go to a big box store, come here instead. Thanks for taking care of my sons guitar today. We’ll be back!"

"Really cannot thank Jim enough. Called almost every guitar shop in RI to setup my strat and rr5 with a floyd rose and their average turnaround time was over a month. Jim took both of my guitars in and had them finished in a couple days at a great price. He went above and beyond cleaning, polishing, and perfecting my setups. My Jackson V is so much easier to play after he went out of his way to fix a poor setup on my locking nut. I am genuinely more excited to play my guitars now that they feel and play better than ever. Thank you very much Jim!!"

"I have been a customer of Jim's for just under 11 years now. He was the person who guided me to buying my first bass, taught me how to play, and has been a beacon of knowledge throughout my musical journey. Though I mainly play drums now he is still the first person that I turn to whenever I need new gear or information as he truly knows the ins and outs of music better than anyone I've met. I owe him my eternal gratitude for being such a helpful and wonderful teacher, salesman, and mentor. I recommend Mama's Boy music above all others for any piece of music equipment. If you ever need any gear Jim will supply it at a competitive price in a timely manner, even if it is not currently in his store."
