From the reviews

Dave was amazing! Repaired my son’s guitar in minutes. I would definitely recommend him.

★★★★★ — Andrea, Jun 2022

I recently had Dave set up a Fender Mustang Bass for me. I couldn't be more pleased with his work. The action, intonation and neck is set perfectly. My instrument now plays like a dream. Dave is gracious and personable and the prices for his work can't be beat. Highly recommended! A+A+A+

★★★★★ — Chris, Apr 2023

I was in town for work and needed to get a guitar for the hotel room. David had a lower end epiphone that was set up extremely well. Plays like it was 10 times the cost. Easy to deal with. Very friendly.

★★★★★ — David, Aug 2023

This man knows his guitars and he's very reasonably priced. If you want it done right or a decent price... this is your man to see
