Here is a quote from shop owner, Tim from Vinyl Frontier Records MySpace profile
“Hi my name is Tim. I live and work in mchenry Il. I build and collect mopar performance cars , I currently own a 72 prostreet roadrunner,and a 73 dodge charger. I love to get out to local cruise nights. Tuesdays at culvers in McHenry. Thursdays down town Crystal lake. Saturdays Dog and Suds in fox lake. I own a record store / guitar shop in McHenry Il. It is called Vinyl Frontier Records. The people that shop there claim it is a pretty cool place. I won’t comment on that since I would consider it to be bragging. We take trade in’s so if you are sick of your records or compact disc’s bring them in and trade em em up for stuff you like. I can get just about anything you want on vinyl also. You know the vinyl record is making a huge come back. I carry Jackson guitars as well as turn tables. I do turn table repair. We also sell cartridges and needles for your system.”

Scott is a former major label recording artist (with his band Icos, formerly on Slipdisc/Mercury Records) who has toured the country and recorded at Abbey Road in London , the world famous studio where The Beatles’ Abbey Road and Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon were created. He has a wealth of experience in repairing and building guitars. Scott is also the former repair and inspection manager for Westheimer Corporation, which is the U.S. distributor for Cort stringed instruments.
