All Repairs and setups are done strictly on a "by appointment only" basis. This way I can control how much work is in my shop, and to allow me the time to do your repair without rushing yet still have your instrument back to you within as short a timeframe as possible. Most jobs can be done with a 24 hour turnaround.

I believe that the relationship between a musician and their guitar is similar to a love affair. So when I embark to work on someone's musical soul mate I make sure to handle it with the care and respect that it deserves. I use a TechDeck workstation as the core tool in my workshop. The instrument is strapped in at all times, even when just changing strings, so that it reduces the likelihood that any damage will occur at my hands.

When the instrument is set up right it feels like an extension of your hands, music just seems to flow effortlessly. I feel it is unconsionable to alter an instrument to the point that it no longer feels right to the musician. My focus is to tune the guitar such that the setup feels right for the player. String selection and string height are very personal choices and I endeavour to work with the musician to find the balance that fits them. To that end all setups must be done in direct consultation with the musician. I'm not happy until you are happy.
