From the reviews
I recently brought two of my guitars to Eric for a setup. I had an idea what I wanted to get from the set up. Eric listened carefully to what I wanted done on both guitars and educated me along the way. When I got my guitars back the guitar felt and looked awesome. Eric's attention to detail was impressive.
Erik did a great job repairing a Rickenbacker 4003 bass that was brought to him recently. He actually diagnosed it while we waited and determined that the treble pickup was dead and most likely needed a rewind.
Erik has some great skills. He was right that my Taylor 812 DLX didn't need a setup at all, Just need a to acclimate to the weather a bit longer. He could have just done it for a quick buck, but instead built my trust and saved me money.
I brought my telecaster to Erik for a setup. He spent the time to make sure he understood what I was looking for him to achieve and the history of the guitar. What he accomplished was truely amazing! The guitar plays like it had a new neck installed.
