    Do yourself a favor, your wallet a favor, and do your guitar a favor. Pass this place up…read more My repair wasn't done properly. The same problem was there when I got the guitar home. He up-charged me when the work was finished from what he advertised on his site by $20. He also damaged the finish on my 10K plus guitar. I emailed him asking for a refund before posting this... and received no reply. Go somewhere else.

    Brought 4 guitars for set ups/restrings…read more One guitar had deadened spots/fret buzzing that I showed him when I dropped it off. When he was finished and I picked it up and tried it out, it played the exact same. Same buzz, same shitty action - more dead spots than before. He said he "didn't know" I wanted him to fix it but he stressed how much time he spent polishing the guitar. One guitar just needed a setup and action lowered. It plays the same and he couldn't remember what he did to it. One guitar was admittedly in not great shape - it's an old 80s warmoth tele that got a little dry over the winter and has crazy high action. He didn't touch the neck, "didn't know" if it had a truss rod or not, but replaced a pot and put $12 strings on it. It's completely unplayable - even he admitted that. He said it's a shame that I'll just have to throw it in the garbage. If that's the case, why replace the pot and strings and "intonate" it??? It's literally a lap steel at this point. This was the most expensive repair of the lot and it's completely unusable. If he had said he couldn't fix it, I would have understood. One guitar played great when I brought it in and still plays great. It had new strings when I brought it and he allegedly intonated it. I gently expressed my disappointment but he insisted he "spent so much time" on everything. I have no balls so I paid him the full $260 and left. He literally charged me $260 to restring (with strings I provided) and polish my guitars. TOTAL CROOK and I'm a chump for tucking my tail and paying in full. Don't let him take advantage of you!!! Update : he gave me some change back - so instead of flushing $260 down the toilet, it was only $240. My guitars still can't be played, but gotta make sure my review is 100% accurate!!
