Dropped of my Bad Cat amp for a quick repair and they did a super job of turning it around and pointing out a small thing it needed. Asked first. Super friendly folks as well.

Came here for a routine setup on my SG, thing was all out of wack (intonation, inconsistent action, buzzing, dirty jack/pots etc.) They did an awesome job - it’s never played or sounded so good! also want to point out that they called me before doing some necessary additional repairs to get my approval, which I always see as a sign of an honest business. Their prices are great too, I’ll be getting all my guitars + equipment serviced here in the future. Would definitely recommend doing business with them

I noticed a couple of negative (one star) reviews of Heyday, but I can only base my review on my own experience. They serviced two tube amps for me, a Fender Blues Jr. and a Marshall Haze 40. I was shown exactly what the problems were before repair was done, and the repairs were exactly as identified, with no surprises. They spot soldered weak connections, installed new tubes, set bias and did a thorough check of all parts and components. I was very satisfied with both the work done, the prices charged and the quick turn-around. Both amps had been serviced by another place previously, and neither was really fixed, with problems recurring soon afterwards. Heyday did it the right way. Good results equal repeat business.

Favorite vintage and all around music store. Great work is done in the shop there. I can vouch! Guitar selection is amazing and prices are definitely fair. Perfect place to get your amp repaired, especially older ones. All sorts of cool things to find here that you wont anywhere else. Dont skip this one! Its a gem for sure.

Must say the value was very well set and cost me a third what others would charge. The only issue I had is when I got home after my guitar was wired the guy who did the wiring forgot to ground the third lug of the volume pot to the pot itself so the volume pot would not work and cut the signal completely. I fixed it in 60 seconds but I am glad I spotted it. Overall I would return I would just make sure I check everything top to bottom before I leave. But as mentioned can’t beat the value and the wiring job was pretty darn good minus the one flaw mentioned. Overall selection and prices are very good and better than anywhere else. Also the young lady working the counter is very friendly and very helpful.

Had a great experience here. Id been on the lookout for a new acoustic and stopped in when I was driving through a couple weeks ago. Its mostly electric guitars, but there were a few good acoustics too. Ive been waiting for the guitar that just feels right and lo and behold, there was a 1960s Kay that was exactly that. They were patient with all my questions about owning & maintaining a vintage instrument, and it was clear that they were excited about that guitar too - I never felt like they were trying to push a sale. Prices seem fair too. Nice gem of a store.

Brian, Charles, and the entire band at Heyday are the absolute best. Knowledgeable, kind, and super cool friends that will either help you find the perfect sound or straighten out your favorite gear. There are not enough words to suggest that this local shop is the _only_ place you should spend your money. Thanks for everything, guys, youre the best!

Top notch, professional tube amplifier repair. I brought two guitar amplifiers (Supro and an Oahu) to them for repair. Besides being older then I am, the amplifiers were losing tone due to failing components. Their work was of the highest quality which I noticed as soon as I cranked them at home. For me, this is the place for tube amplifier repair.

Nice, clean, complete (solid body) guitar repair/modification done with alacrity and at minimum expense. Job I needed required woodwork and sober soldering, result was all I might ask with proper attention to detail. Good stand-up folks, by my experience—couldn’t be more pleased, and I’m a well-known stickler.

My favorite music store in Asheville! Always a great selection at reasonable prices and a tech on staff! Also has a great location on Lexington. Park and walk to a ton of great destinations in the downtown area including the Moog museum. Anyone who loves this store is sure to love the location!

I have a late 60s SG that I wanted to have the caps replaced in and the wiring slightly altered to 50s style. Even though it was a relatively small job they took it seriously and did a great, very clean and professional job. Couldnt be happier with the quality of the workmanship and in finding folks interested in keeping the older gear going.

Bought an amp from Heyday thru the mail that arrived with electrical issues and non-working. He blamed problems on UPS. They wouldnt accept a return nor reimburse me for local repair. Less than honest seller. Beware.

They did a good job on replacing a fuse holder in a tube amp. Price was a little high since I provided the part, but all in all decent.

I cannot say enough about this shop. They have the best selection of vintage and otherwise supercool stringed instruments as well as amps. Not to mention, they also have a wonderful variety of boutique effect pedals. Charles is friendly and clearly passionate/knowledgable regarding not only the items for sale but music in general. Brian is not only friendly and easy to talk to when he is out front but a superb and I cannot stress this enough, an absolute master technician. I urge any out of towners visiting Asheville to swing by and check out their selection. I urge locals to support a wonderful local true blue Asheville business.

Let me start by saying this is not an isolated incident. They told me a year ago i needed new tubes to the tune of 300 dollars or something (a weak attempt to start throwing parts needlessly into an amp with a simple problem) in that range in an late 80s fender reverb. My second opinion fixed the amp for 50 (including the bench fee) dollars and it was actually a ground issue...today they told me that my blues jr reverb tank (which i pulled and found a loose wire needed soldered) would be a whopping 75 dollar repair. I took it to the amp store in west and it was fixed for 10 dollars in less than 5 minutes in front of me (and expertly fixed i might add, the job looked factory). Let me also explain a brand new one with this manufacturing issue (as bill m and a multitude of very well repsected techs have called it) completely fixed as a brand new product is 17.50 online. That means i could have bought two PLUS gotten mine fixed. This place is a scam. Take your business elsewhere like guitar trader, or the amp shop or A1 music on patton.
