From the reviews

Steve is Boss. He is very knowledgeable and helpful. He has fixed my Martin guitars that had humidity issues and fret buzz as well. Definitely recommended

★★★★★ — Santiago, Mar 2022

This is the only person I trust with my guitars. I have had him fix my acoustic and electric, he's installed pickups, done setups, installed bridges, nuts, you name it....he's great but he is busy...because he's the best in the area.

★★★★★ — Itsonlya, Jul 2021

This shop is not just the ideal distance from me, when my guitars need fixing they get the highest quality treatment. Really top notch. I can’t think of a single bad experience I have had there.

★★★★★ — Adam, Jul 2018

Does excellent work! I have been a happy customer for 20+ years. I take basses to him for intonation and neck adjustments.
