What's on the wall
“Will did a phenomenal job setting up my electric and acoustic guitars.”
“Picked up an early 80's Hondo Telestrat at a pawn shop thinking I'd scored only to discover after restringing it, that my Hondo wouldn't play.”
“I brought my Fender Jazz bass in to have a buzzing noise diagnosed and was happy that Will could look at it right away.”
“Just take a look on his webpage at the crushed vintage instrument he resurrected, and at the beautiful guitars he builds by hand.”
“He checked it over thoroughly and was able to determine that luckily the bass wasn't the cause of my noise and it was likely a bad ground or interference elsewhere in my setup.”

From the reviews
I've used Will a half dozen times for various projects and repairs. Will is a conscientious and gifted luthier. I doubt there is a wiring scheme for pickups he can't rig in his sleep. I've trusted him with reissue Les Pauls, Teles, US-made PRSes, Epis, and more.
Will is a great resource for bass repair and setup. He worked on two parts basses I put together. The shielding on my fretless jazz worked great. The nut he put on the fretted jazz took it to a new level of playability. In the process he taught me a lot about jazz bass setup and maintenance.
Will Bright spoiled me. It will be hard for find another luthier to set up my guitars as well as he did and I live 3200 miles from Will's shop. He set up a custom built guitar given to me by Dennis Long who made it.
Picked up an early 80's Hondo Telestrat at a pawn shop thinking I'd scored only to discover after restringing it, that my Hondo wouldn't play. String buzz beyond belief. Flipping cheapo door stop.
