Classic Ax and Ax Parts was founded by Greg Krochman back in 1982.
Greg was born in Chicago, IL but soon after moved to Florida at the
age of 1. Being raise in a musical family Greg was introduced
to the Music Instrument Retail/Repair business at the young age of
10 years old. Working in his parents music store "Krochman Music
House" in the late 60's was the start of a long history of repairing
musical instruments.
In the 70's Greg had opened his 1st music store in Florida.
"It was just great time for being in business for myself and really
doing a lot of quality repair work." as he recalls. Then in 1979 he
decided that he wanted to go on the road with his band "Truly
Original Band" and toured around the country, opening for bands like
the Dixie Dreggs until early 1982.
He decided then that he wanted
to get back to his roots of repairing guitars. So in March of 1982 he started slow
and opened up a little shop in the garage of his house. He found quickly that his skills at repairing stringed
instruments was a much needed service in Nashville. By October
1982 the business had grown large enough that he needed to expand.
There was no question that if he moved it had to be on Music Row. He
has been at his current location for over 30 years
He has found that one on
the most satisfying parts on his job is knowing that you're really
doing something that makes a difference for someone and seeing the
end result of you efforts |
