“I brought my Vintage 1971 Harmony Sovereign with a bowed neck to see if it could be corrected.”
“His setups are premium and fair priced, he does a great job explaining his work and answering questions, and he always has something cool to show you when you drop by.”

From the reviews
Had a custom guitar built by Ed, and I have to say I can’t put it down! I wanted some special tones and playability and they nailed it! Brought two of my own guitars to Ed for a complete setup with some tweaks and when I got the guitars back - they never played better. Quality at this level is hard to find these days!
Impeccable service every time. Whether it's a simple setup on one of the many new guitars I buy or the Penguin Custom Strat that I bought from THESE GUYS I'm always left happy. Highly recommended, 10/10 will do business again.
Friendliest guys out there. Did a great job installing new pickups in my Gretsch, and even volunteered to help me out with a setup issue outside of normal business hours. Ed went out of his way to provide me with resources to make my guitars sound great.
I brought my Vintage 1971 Harmony Sovereign with a bowed neck to see if it could be corrected. Ist 3 frets were only playable. Ed tried his best to make me happy, but he clearly explained why he couldn't. Ed was courteous, professional and honest. I highly recommend his services.
