I highly recommend Ardent Instruments to anyone who needs a setup. They are very good at transparently explaining their procedure for what they will do and work with their customers who have tighter budgets.

I was recommended to Nick and Ardent Music by several trusted musicians in town. Nick’s works was everything I could have hoped for on my prized guitar. In addition to asking what I wanted done to the instrument, he had recommendations and was a great listener. Best of all, it was all going to be completed on a reasonable timeline. He went as far to call me with updates and ordered the strings I wanted, but didn’t have in stock. I will be taking all of my instruments to Ardent Music and will be telling everyone else to do the same. Great price, people and work. Support this small business and the Bloomington community at the same time.

I purchased a guitar from them online as a gift for my husband. They responded very quickly after the purchase with when they expected to pack and ship it. It arrived the day after I purchased it. It was packed very well and arrived undamaged. The guitar itself was in beautiful condition. Overall excellent experience.

Great work delivered ahead of schedule. 10/10 will use again!

Brought in my Kiesel Osiris OM6 headless multi scale to have a pick up swap. The guitar cavity had to be routed to fit the pick ups I chose and he did a flawless job of routing the cavities and the wire work on the pots was beautiful as well. Glad I found this gem of a place I will be bringing my heard of guitars in
