I also offer a complete range of repairs at competitive rates. From setups to complete restorations, my 25 yrs of experience help ensure that your guitar will come back to you playing like butter and looking great! I am one of the only luthiers in the area to be expert in the application of french polish shellac- the only finish to use on a fine classical. 

Here's some photos of "horror story" repairs and tricky restoration projects

​Interior shot: This is what NOT to do! This '62 Gibson J-50 came in with the interior covered with Gorilla glue.

"Repairs" like this are the reason to take your guitar to a qualified repairman
