Testimonials
“I surprised Sion with a trip to Town Center Music in Suwanee after work. He had no idea he
was getting a new guitar! His face when he picked out a guitar and new sturdier bag is one
that I will never forget. He told me that his guitar teacher said his old guitar wasn’t in good
shape and that it needed to be completely restrung or replaced. He said he didn’t tell me
because he knew I didn’t have the money. It was hard for him to play because the neck was
coming apart. It also had deep gouges on the body so the sound quality was horrible. God
bless you. You have blessed my son and given so much joy to our family”
