From the reviews
Marty was great! We weren’t certain the problem and decided on a very simple fix first to simply save his time and my money. And he was right…problem solved. My Tele’s high E was slipping out of the nut and the tree.
My newest addition to the Cobain guitar collection. The 1969 Competition Burgandy Fender Mustang with some customized, subtle changes. This one sounds great. Especially after taking it to LabRat Guitar Workshop in Apex, North Carolina for a set up, and the works.
I cannot say enough good things about the work that Marty did on my guitar and how easy he was to work with. I took him my acoustic with a broken headstock and the repair was beyond my expectations. He was communicative throughout the repair process and sent videos along the way to keep me updated on his progress.
I bought a new Martin Modern Deluxe guitar and it came from the factory with very high action. It also has a unique asymmetrical neck that may take some time to get used to.
