What's on the wall
“I just had him fix up my old acoustic from high school, and he did a phenomenal job!”
“Eric Daw’s hand-wound Telecaster pickups are the best - subtly microphonic, incredibly responsive, the most musical I’ve used yet.”
“In a nut shell, if you own/play a guitar, or a bass for that matter, have Eric work on it.”
“His guitars and hand-wound pickups are some of the finest, most sonically accurate and musical "vintage Fender-style" products in the game.”
“Eric is a member of the small group of people in the guitar world who has encyclopedic knowledge of how to fix, make, or repair anything.”
Brands they deal
“His guitars and hand-wound pickups are some of the finest, most sonically accurate and musical "vintage Fender-style" products in the game.”
“Eric has worked on the frets of my old Gibson Junior and miraculously made a buzz disappear without any visual modification of the guitar or the frets.”
“Eric replaced the pickup and adjusted the action on my acoustic Martin guitar.”
What players say again and again
“Eric just installed some new pickups on an American Standard Stratocaster of mine and setup a neck I’d previously had installed.”
“He produces a podcast called "The Fret Files" that has a world wide following where he shares much of his expertise with the guitar community.”
From the reviews
It amazes me someone this talented and well known resides in Idaho Falls. How lucky for our region! Eric can literally fix anything, no matter the complexity of the repair. He totally restored my Dad's 1958 Supro Rhythm Tone which was missing much, had a broken neck, and was essentially a box full of ruined parts.
Eric has worked capably on numerous guitars and basses for me, from flimsy, cheap Japanese guitars, to set-neck Les Paul and 335-style guitars, to nice acoustic guitars, to a custom, authentic Tele-style guitar.
Eric is not only tremendously knowledgeable and experienced, he's good people. He's setup and repaired some extraordinarily fantastic instruments...and he setup all my guitars (including a couple entry level guitars). If you are near him and have a guitar to setup, it's a no-brainer.
Eric Daw has worked on my guitars for over 15 years. He has refretted two of my vintage guitars and bailed me out several times with repairs I should have never started. I just got back an 80's G&L SC-2 I sent him for a refret, set up and a bone nut. I couldn't be happier.
