What's on the wall
“Where the action was previously about a 1/2 inch above the frets, he managed to bring it down to where it plays nearly as fast as an electric in the upper frets.”
“But Rich recently set up two of my custom built bass guitars, and did a wonderful job!”
“When I picked it up, he made sure that I was happy with the repair and provided paperwork with the specs on everything about my guitar.”
Brands they deal
“Rich dug a little deeper and discovered that Fender actually installed round head screws that should have been flat head.”
“Got a friend’s Gibson set-up so nice it sings when you play it.”
“I brought in an Ibanez RG with a double locking floating bridge which needed a little tweak to be leveled off a bit and he was done in about 20 minutes, perfect job.”
“Rich did an excellent job on my Epiphone 335 Pro fixing the input jack on it,even took a picture and texted it to me of it inside the guitar ,to show me the problem.”
What players say again and again
“He could have taken my money and done a setup where not needed, but he was terrifically honest about that as well!”
“By far one of the most knowledgeable and solid personalities I’ve meet up in Buffalo so far.”
“The work was done for a very reasonable price and included a detailed summary of the overall condition of the guitar and the work performed.”
From the reviews
Very new amateur trying to get into guitar here! I had an issue with my guitar while trying to tune it (Snapped one of the tuning knobs.) and ended up calling Rich. By far one of the most knowledgeable and solid personalities I’ve meet up in Buffalo so far.
There are only two, maybe three guys in the area that I would trust setting up or fixing my guitars and Rich is one of them. When I started speaking to him, I instantly could tell he knew what he was doing. I brought in a new American made tele that came with some issues.
This was my first experience with a luthier of any sort, so this won’t be a comparative review. But Rich recently set up two of my custom built bass guitars, and did a wonderful job! They both needed action adjustments and some pickup adjustments as well.
Rich is amazing. I took my 2 year old Taylor to him to have it set up. He did an awesome job. He was able to get the action much lower. He polished and waxed it, put new strings on it and made it beautiful. I am so impressed with Rich. His work is unbelievable. He is very friendly and professional.
