Someone posted about the shop being closed...dunno what that was about.Maybe disregard that one. Also, whatever the case, I'd rather someone take time to do the instrument RIGHT, than rush it out the door. If they're not going to do that, I'd rather them not take the work at all. I've seen many repairs go like this: Bring instrument or amp in, get call in 5 days. Bring said item home, and two days later said item needs work again. I look with a huge degree of skepticism now at ultra lightning fast turnaround times nowadays. Good work, done well, takes a little time to ensure all problems are addressed. These 50's guitars in decent condition are getting rare. There's not much wood like this left. I trusted Old School Guitar Repair with my guitar, and they came through for me. Curt does it right. Highly recommended. J.M.

Earlier this Fall, 2023, I brought my 6-year old Froggy Bottom H-12 acoustic to Ron's shop for some…read moreneeded fret work. Looking to his expertise, he told me it would likely only need fret "dressing." When I came by to pick up my guitar, he told me that, since he saw that the bridge was a little high, he had also lowered the saddle. Well, now it plays better than when it was new. As evidence of Ron's high-quality work on my Froggy Bottom, last week, I brought my 10-year old Huss & Dalton 00-SP to Ron for the same service. Ron has been a pleasure to work with. He communicates well and charges a fair price for his exceptional service.

Matt brought my guitar and ukelele from "Rustic Grime" to Masterpiece!…read more I brought my 20-year-old Walden Natura D550 and a vintage 1953 ukulele to Matt, and the results are honestly shocking. The '53 uke was in rough shape--old, rustic, and covered in decades of grime. Matt transformed it completely. He finely detailed the body until it was shining like a mantle piece, fixed the tuners, and recommended Nylgut strings that make it sound incredible. It went from a dusty relic to a daily player that I can't put down. For my Walden guitar, Matt performed "wild work." The action was high and the strings were dead, but he used a "cold clamp" technique on the neck and hand-carved a perfect unbleached bone saddle. He even recommended a spectacular cocobolo bridge to match the guitar's aesthetic and tone. Both instruments came back sounding "shockingly fantastic." If you have an instrument that has lost its "soul" or just needs expert engineering to sing again, Matt is the man to see. A true master of his craft and a total professional.

MW Guitar Repair My…read moreGuitar for Repair (Ibanez GB30 2023) Matthew performed a thorough inspection of the Ibanez and explained in detail the work he would be performing. During our conversation I noted that his passion for Guitars was clearly evident. I felt confident that he would bring more musical life to this instrument. Matthew checked fret wear, the string action (and spacing) , the guitar neck, tonality, guitar bridge and stability, string groove, action, tuners, fret buzz, saddle height, intonation, pick up height, stable tuning and much more, He is meticulous and precise. My instrument now has new Life, Vibrancy and now runs on all Musical Cylinders! It is a pleasure to know Matthew and the positive aura that is felt when you are at MW Guitar Repair. You will walk in with a smile and leave with a bigger smile. Thank You friend. I truly appreciate the intense work you perform. Additonally your work is of Heart and Soul, sincerely..

There was no signs stating the store was closed. In fact, the lights were on and people were playing some instruments.

But, it would have been helpful to put a sign stating the store was closed or even write the hours on the door. At the least, they could lock the doors, because from the outside it looked open.

He absolutely mangled my guitar with the re-fret I had him do; lots of sprout and the fingerboard was trashed.

Allowing this man to touch my guitar (which he mangled and then stole after ghosting me) is one of the greatest regrets I have from the past bunch of years.
