What's on the wall
“Paul replaced a neck on my Taylor 12 string acoustic after an accidental drop broke the headstock and I can’t even tell that a replacement had been done!”
“I had a Tele that I’d gotten which had a neck that was completely out whack to where the strings wouldn’t line-up properly across the board (high-E falling off the board).”
“Other guitar repair shops I used previously did not catch these things.”
“When I heard that bands would drop off their entire quiver with him to get set up for studio and tour I knew this was the person I wanted to work on my guitar.”
“Melodi's ukulele was in the car at the time of the accident and took considerable damage.”

From the reviews
Paul was outstanding in every facet of my recent Fender Authorized Warranty claim. I had a Tele that I’d gotten which had a neck that was completely out whack to where the strings wouldn’t line-up properly across the board (high-E falling off the board).
I had just purchased a Taylor 914 ce. It was not reacting to low humidity well, even though I had humidity packets in the case. Taylor was getting ready to close for Christmas in mid-November and they referred me to Paul at Guitar Remedy. Paul cares for each instrument he receives in a very personal way.
Guitar Remedy is owned and run by a guy named Paul. I've been taking my guitars to Paul for more than a decade, and he's always done a great job at a fair price.
I own two Taylor guitars, a six string and a twelve. Love them both. I took then to Paul for routine maintenance and got back two new guitars. They sound and play better than ever. I can't see myself going to a different luthier in the future. His work is impeccable.
Lessons at Guitar Remedy
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Guitar Remedy. If you're signing up a beginner (or restarting yourself), a quick call ahead answers the three things that matter: which instruments they teach, whether the schedule has openings at the time you actually need, and what a first lesson costs. There's no wrong first guitar — a good teacher will happily work with whatever you walk in with, and a shop that teaches usually keeps affordable starter instruments on hand for exactly this reason.
