Setups:  Overall, a good setup is essential for getting the most out of your instrument in terms of playability, tone, longevity, and tuning.  It can significantly elevate your playing experience.  I often see brand new guitars from the factory needing setups, especially if they have been purchased on the internet.

Fret Work: Buttery smooth and level frets are key to instruments reaching their potential. From complete re-frets and levelings to taking the edge off those pesky sharp fret ends and the odd loose or high fret, I got you covered.

Electronics: I find a budget guitar can suddenly sound more like it’s pro-level big brother with an upgrade in electronic components. Though sometimes all you need is a minor repair to get thing back on track.

Nuts & Saddles: Properly fit, quality nuts and saddles not only improves the sound, sustain, tuning, and performance of a guitar but also enhances the overall playing experience. This is a great place to start when thinking of upgrading your instrument especially if you are working with plastic now.

Customizations & Modifications: Whether you are inspired by your hero or hoping to achieve that tone and look in your head, I truly enjoy helping players grasp the sound and aesthetic they are chasing.

Crack Repairs: Cracks are not the end of the world. Some of the best guitars I’ve ever played have had extensive crack repairs; just adds to the character.

Bridges: This happens more often than you’d think.

Drum Repairs: Drums are my primary instrument, and I’ve been tinkering with them since I was a boy.  I have built entire drum sets and restored vintage gems to glory.  I’ve even worked on the world’s most elaborate kit belonging to the iconic Terry Bozzio. Whatever your needs, I can help.

Restrings: No job too small! This procedure includes cleaning and conditioning of the fretboard and a quick fret polish.
