    maglok trem setter
    Damian H.

    These guys are awesome - I got a new trem (super-vee) with locking tuners installed on my black and white EVH relic by John and he did an amazing job! Now it can handle the craziest dive bombs! Absolutely stellar set up and such nice guys too. Will be using them for all of my guitar repairs and upgrades for sure! Thanks guys!

    Brought my mandolin in for a set-up and John did a great job. Very kind and patient with an "it's all good" vibe. Before set-up I would just stare at my mandolin and now I want to PLAY IT. I will definitely be bringing in my guitars for set-up and repair. Thank you John! You ROCK!

    Okay, I really generally don't leave reviews. This place blew me away, I really couldn't be happier. I had a pretty epic project, I wanted to remove the 5-way rotory switch on my PRS Custom-22 10-top and replace it with a 6-way freeway switch with custom coil splits in addition to swapping out the bridge pickup, and a setup with a floating trem. Really, the whole 9-yards. I was nervous as hell when I went to pick this thing up hoping it would come out good, and you just have to believe me, this is the best guitar on the fucking planet thanks to John and the folks at Long Beach Guitar Repair. Absolutely incredible work. THANK YOU!

    Absolutely recommend the pros at Long Beach Guitar Repair. My experience with John was wonderful. I had a Gibson SG that was improperly setup by large chain store and it crushed me. The guitar ended up sitting for 10 years. I took it to John and we found out the bridge had bent because of the improperly setup. We ended up crowning the frets and replacing the bridge with a tone pro. The guitar sings! Thanks guys for the great work!

    I take all my guitars here. The best in the area! A couple issues that others couldn't fix were eliminated. Great place!

    How much do they charge for a full electric guitar set-up?

    It will depend on the amount of work needed. Guitars are like people. Every one is different. You won't find better luthiers anywhere!

Steve was super nice and easy to talk to which made the whole experience smooth from start to finish. My boyfriend had P90s installed in his Les Paul and needed it back in time for a gig, and Steve delivered! On my BC Rich he dialed everything in perfectly the intonation is spot on! the action feels just right, and the neck adjustment made a huge difference in how it plays. It's not easy to find someone who works this fast and still pays attention to all the details, but Steve definitely does. I wouldn't hesitate to bring any of our guitars back to him, we live in Long Beach and his shop is so close to us another plus!

I've had plenty of basic setups before, but this felt like a whole different level of attention and care. He walked me through what makes his Rockstar Setup different and you can tell it's not just a quick adjustment, it's a full dial-in of the instrument. When I got my guitar back it played incredibly smooth, stayed in tune better, and just felt more responsive overall. Anything and everything that could be oiled or lubricated was taken care of. The amount of work and detail that goes into the rockstar set up actually takes a few days and I guess depending on the condition of your guitar the longer it takes. My guitar had a lot of rust on the bridge and tuning keys. One of the saddles was even frozen in place and I couldn't get the string out. Steve took care of it. I didn't even notice how bad the condition of the guitar was in until I saw all of the photos Steve took. (Before and after). Who does that? It's hard to describe, but it actually made me want to pick it up and play more. Everything felt tighter and more precise without sacrificing comfort. The smell of the oil on the bridge and the lemon oil on the neck actually smell good too! You can tell Steve takes pride in going beyond the standard setup and really bringing out the best in the guitar. If you're on the fence about upgrading from a regular setup I'd definitely recommend going for it. I'll be sticking with the Rockstar Setup from now on.
