What's on the wall
“Chris brought my Taylor acoustic from a dull sounding, way too tight and hard to play instrument, back into a hugely fun, beautiful sounding guitar again.”
“I’ve taken 3 guitars (electric and acoustic) to Chris and you can tell he really puts the time and effort into his work.”
“I’ve brought him new guitars vintage guitars and guitars in real sour condition, and everytime I get them back screaming and playing better than ever.”
“Chris even used some old school wiring schematics that I’ve never even heard of, so that the controls worked exactly how I wanted.”
“Wether its your daily player in need of a tune up or a family heirloom in need of serious repairs (like my grandfather's 1942 Martin that had a cracked bridge), Chris is your guy.”
Brands they deal
“The second, a repair for a botched Gibson pick-up installation.”
“Chris brought my Taylor acoustic from a dull sounding, way too tight and hard to play instrument, back into a hugely fun, beautiful sounding guitar again.”
“I gave Chris my new PRS SE - it needed a set up - he made it feel perfect, frets, neck, perfect intonation - amazing job.”
What players say again and again
“I felt very comfortable choosing ' 812 Guitars' as it was obvious by the website photos that Chris was an actual luthier and not just a "tech".”
“Chris did a great job fixing the high action on my son’s guitar - he is extremely knowledgeable, professional and his turn around time was fast.”
From the reviews
Chris is a master craftsman and a true artist. Ever since I tried my late father-in-law’s rosewood Simon & Patrick, I’ve been searching for one on all kinds of websites and forums. I finally found one after searching for 10 years at a pawn shop in Oregon, and bought it sight unseen.
I have been looking for a luthier, guitar specialist for a while. I came about this artisan through searching and finding 100s of reviews on him and his wonderful work and bench side manor. Only great instruments leave his workshop.
I’ve been playing for almost 60 years. I’ve used my share of luthiers and Chris is the best. There’s a saying “ you can have it done right, fast or cheap…pick 2”. Not at 812. Chris delivers the goods, his work is the best I’ve experienced.
I recently came across Chris and 812 Guitars and decided to give them a try given all the great reviews. I’ve taken 3 guitars (electric and acoustic) to Chris and you can tell he really puts the time and effort into his work.
