I purchased a Gibson guitar from Lyle last week. The price was equal to my purchase. I looked over the guitar and it seemed in good shape. Today I took it to a luthier. He stated it was one of the best guitars he played inawhile. I got a great deal!. The luthier told me he knew Lyle and told me he was an honest man and a good Bass player as well. I found my dealing with Lyle very good and recommend anyone to deal with him. Todays pawn shop owners make you weary. But Lyle is a good person.
