New Guitar Shop Hits Downtown Chippewa

Emily Anderson |

Guitar players and rock n’ rollers of the Chippewa Valley, get ready for your dreams to come true. Chippewa Falls has a brand new guitar shop, conveniently located right downtown (101 N Bridge). A String Above, the shop owned by CJ White, caters to guitarists of all ages and skill levels with a wide variety of guitars and accessories available. White and her coworker Andrew Hayhoe also offer lessons to everyone from beginners to the most advanced. In addition, repairs can be made in-store for many stringed instruments. A player since she was 10, CJ opened the shop in April and already is making a big impression, even immediately drawing people in with her guitar- and album-covered walls. If you don’t play the guitar, A String Above offers an exclusive line of clothing and has handmade Native American flutes from local Dan Sokora. No matter where your musical interest lies, A String Above is definitely worth checking out.
