What's on the wall
“I’ve loved my Strat since I got her but the strings kept going out of tune despite having it previously looked at another music store and having the action adjusted.”
“Took my bass to Rick because I suspected I had some high frets - I was right!”
“Rick did a fantastic job with my vintage Japanese Strat - setup and electronics repair.”
“I have used other techs in the past and always wait weeks to months for a job to be completed.”
“Great communication, I called him and we texted and called back and forth until we set up a good time we could meet.”
Brands they deal
“I recently acquire my once in a lifetime guitar a 1964 Gibson ES-335.”
“Rick recently sourced a 1980 Ibanez Artist I’ve been after for quite some time, and did so quickly.”
“Had a great experience with Rick repairing and polishing up my dad’s Gretsch guitar from the 60s.”
“He got my Lefty Epiphone Les Paul playing great again including repair on a switch issue.”
What players say again and again
“Great communication, I called him and we texted and called back and forth until we set up a good time we could meet.”
“Rick's knowledge and attention to detail is outstanding, as I know he put much more time into working on my son's guitar than he charged.”
“He could have charged me more but he really gave me a good deal on everything.”
From the reviews
Rick is the best - what else can I say. I recently acquire my once in a lifetime guitar a 1964 Gibson ES-335. This guitar had sat in the guitar case for quite some time and needed some love. It had mildew smell, patina and needed some adjustments, a setup and a thorough going over.
I can’t say enough good things about Rick! From the moment I walked in, his friendly, engaging personality made it feel like I was handing my prized guitar over to an old friend. I brought him my Jimmy Page Les Paul, which had seen better days, and he absolutely brought it back to life.
I recently brought my new ESP Horizon to Rick for a setup and couldn't be happier with the result. He fit me in the same day, dialed in the action and intonation perfectly, and resolved a rattling issue that had been bothering me since I bought the guitar in Japan. The guitar now plays and sounds fantastic.
First time going to Rick’s for a setup. He got my Lefty Epiphone Les Paul playing great again including repair on a switch issue. Impressed by all his gear and knowledge. If you have a question about guitar or any other instrument I’m sure he can answer it.
