What's on the wall
“I brought my “traveling” acoustic guitar to get a fresh set up before a trip to Honduras.”
“I thought the new Les Paul I got a couple months ago was pretty solid out of the box, but after my previous experiences were so good I decided to see where they could take it.”
“can't tell you how pleased I am with the work you guys did on my bass!”
“I have a rare and highly sought after vintage electric guitar that had suffered major damage to the top of the guitar in the area where the output jack was located.”
“They did a fret dressing, reset a rather bowed neck, put in an LR Baggs Anthem pickup system, and replaced the saddle bridge all before 5 that evening!”

What players say again and again
“These guys are the best in town when it comes to luthier work, I don’t mind traveling 30 minutes to have my guitars very well taken care of.”
“I cannot say enough about their expertise and professionalism with their clients.”

These folks are some of the friendliest, most amazing people you'll meet and that's BEFORE you get your axe reforged. The staff are dedicated craftspeople at the top of their game and they're laser focused on improving their skills and going further beyond like that one guy from the dragonball.
I have a rare and highly sought after vintage electric guitar that had suffered major damage to the top of the guitar in the area where the output jack was located. The damage had been done at some.point before I acquired the guitar.
