I've bought 2 guitars from them and both purchases were great experiences. They offer a free set up on all guitars, as well.

Love these guys - I've purchased probably over half a dozen pedals from them. They are great to do business with, responsive and very helpful.

Support local businesses even remotely!!

CCM is great and the 20% off sales happen every major holiday! I wish they had more metal options. The 90's reissue dual rectifier at 20% off is an insane deal. I've bought a couple Les Paul's from them and set up is always great. Even when doing stuff like C Standard with 12's.

Definitely didn't need a Les Paul standard. Definitely ordered one.

Used this coupon to price match to Bizarre Guitars in Reno. Just shot over an email and they accepted. Why? Because they individually list each guitar with pictures and weights. I picked out a killer top Gibson Les Paul Standard Double Trouble that only weighed 8.9lbs

Congrats! Just looking at bizarre and they have a double trouble that 8.9lbs and the top is fantastic. I love the vintage tobacco color.

That 8.9lb with the monster top is still available [bizarreguitar.com]!

IDK what it is, maybe because they are limited but the Double Troubles just seem to have better tops than the normal Standards and really the only difference is the uncovered pups.

If I didn't already have a cherry sunburst I would have bought this one and I can't believe it's still available. Amazing top but it's slightly heavier at 9.5lbs. Was talking to the guys at Bizarre and was told the Double Troubles have been coming in sub 9lbs which was previously unheard of outside of the custom shop guitars, heck even 9.5lbs is better than the 10lb+ they can be.

Had a small issue with my delivery... Cream City made it right by me immediately. Can highly recommend them for their customer service alone.

No tax, they shipped the order same day and I've been playing it every day.
