Full service repairs, upgrades, and maintenance on guitars (acoustic and electric) and basses. Based in South Orange County, offering concierge level service for your guitar by keeping my repair volume limited for fast turnaround and personal service. Specific services offered are noted below.
I have been working on my own and others guitars for 6 years and I believe I can offer high quality and more personal service than the big stores can to other guitarists in my community.
I am a guitarist myself and I know what a difference a well-maintained guitar can make to your playing.
