<\/strong> <\/span><\/div>\nThis guy is the \u201creal deal!\u201d A true luthier. If you have a stringed instrument and need it set-up or adjusted, this is the place to go. I have taken a guitar and a mandolin here, and I plan to get all of my instruments \u201cfine-tuned\u201d here eventually. I know I will bring any problem-guitars here for repair. Also, although his for-sale instrument selection is not huge, it is still pretty impressive. Playing any of the instruments hanging on his racks, you will also instantly get a feel for what he can do with this set-ups. The action and intonation on those instruments is absolutely perfect!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/strong> <\/span><\/div>\nOverpriced shoddy workmanship. I took a Fender Strat in for a setup and nut replacement. The nut was filed unevenly so that the strings were not evenly spaced. Both the e and E hung off the fretboard so bad it was unplayable. He also used an ungodly amount of glue on the nut and let it ooze down on my headstock and into the truss rod adjustment hole.
\nAs far as the setup? He didn\u2019t correct the string alignment or intonate the guitar. All of this buffoonery cost $190.
\nI took it to a real master luthier, the kind with a diploma to show, and he fixed these errors, put on a new nut set the guitar up to play like a dream for $100!
\nI would never take an instrument to this store again. I didn\u2019t even want to confront him about it because I didn\u2019t want him to touch my instrument again!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/strong> <\/span><\/div>\nDo not trust this place to work on any valuable or vintage instruments!!!\u2026would give 0 stars if able\u2026Several years ago I had them do a basic setup on a Larrivee lv3 acoustic guitar that had light fret buzz on two notes so it didn\u2019t need much to get it right\u2026work was acceptable but final bill was higher than quoted price\u2026..appx a couple of years ago I brought them a vintage 1978 musicman stingray bass to adjust the neck and basic setup\u2026when I picked it up I mentioned that the action was still too high as if the neck had barely been moved and he said that he would lower it next time I came back if I wanted him to\u2026when I brought it back while dropping off another guitar to work on he acted like it was a huge deal to work on it again and had a bad attitude about doing it\u2026he finally did lower the action to a decently acceptable level\u2026final work was acceptable but not great and bill ended up being quite a bit higher than originally quoted price\u2026The last guitar I brought to them was an unmolested vintage 1966 Martin 00-21 acoustic guitar that needed the bridge reglued\u2026I only asked for the bridge to be fixed and nothing else and was quoted $120 for that and possibly a little more if they needed to make a new saddle\u2026when I went into the store to pick it up not only was the final bill $400 but I was horrified to see that it had been heavily buffed with white compound residue still stuck in all the crevices and stinking like tanning lotion not like fragrant wood anymore\u2026also they had filled multiple dings\/pick wear\/small cracks with epoxy making them darker and much more obvious\u2026the guitar was previously unmolested for it\u2019s entire life and filling dings etc and buffing it severely decreased it\u2019s value and collectibility\u2026to make it worse I was charged $100 for the buffing which I did not ask for and did not want done\u2026nobody in their right mind would buff a highly valuable vintage instrument ruining the beautiful golden glow patina that it had aquired over decades of being untouched and drastically reducing it\u2019s value and collectibility\u2026I told the guy at the register that I was originally quoted $120 plus a possible new saddle and never asked for it to be buffed which he seemed shocked about at first but then told me they installed new bone pins and charged for a setup too\u2026then he asked if I was able to pay the bill\u2026I told him that the point is I didn\u2019t ask for extra work to be done and especially didn\u2019t ask for buffing thinking he would at least adjust the bill which he did not do\u2026I was about to lose my temper so I paid the bill and left\u2026after getting back home and inspecting it further I could see the bridge was already beginning to lift again and could see the glue pulling away along the back edge\u2026within a week the bridge had already lifted so high that it was unplayable and had to take all tension off the strings to avoid the bridge pulling off completely\u2026I also noticed that there was a mark where glue had been allowed to run while regluing the bridge and realized at that point why they had gone on to epoxy dings and heavily buff it\u2026they let glue run and dry and decided to sand it off then buff the entire guitar to cover up for their mistake and then charged me for it\u2026easily cutting the guitars collector value in half and ruining future collectibility increase\u2026that\u2019s currently an appx $2,000.00 reduction in value by my estimate and more considering it\u2019s now limited for future increase in collector value\u2026the only thing I asked for was for the bridge to be fixed and that repair failed within a week\u2026I was so upset from the entire event that I put the guitar back in it\u2019s case and haven\u2019t even looked at it since so I could put it out of my mind\u2026they could have admitted to their mistake and agreed to compensate me fairly for it but they chose to attempt to cover it up by buffing and further ruining my vintage instrument then charging me several hundred dollars more than the quoted price\u2026they don\u2019t deserve your patronage\u2026your valuable instruments deserve better\u2026beware!!!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/strong> <\/span><\/div>\nI wish I could give 0 stars. I brought a partscaster in for a setup. The guitar had a Floyd Rose trem. He said he didn\u2019t want to take on a Floyd Rose. Fair enough. Then as I was leaving, he said \u201cIf you want to build guitars then learn to build them.\u201d What an arrogant comment.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
