From the reviews

The volume knob on my son's guitar wasn't working and Steve was recommended to us as "the go-to guy." Totally agree. My son is a beginner and Steve not only effortlessly fixed the knob, he shared so much helpful guitar information with us that we never would have known otherwise.

★★★★★ — Kelli, Oct 2023

I brought my 1980 Gibson Les Paul Custom to Steve several weeks back, and asked him to do basically a total overhaul on it (it had been showing its age, with particular bad fret wear.

★★★★★ — Mr, Jul 2024

Steve is an above and beyond guitar repair technician. His shop has a really pleasant atmosphere and he is a really nice guy. His knowledge spans many decades and I’d trust him with just about any repair. I’m a full-time professional guitarist and he helped repair my Martin guitar that I use a ton for work.

★★★★★ — Matt, Apr 2022

So happy and Blessed to have taken my vintage Yamaha acoustic to Steve. Super nice guy with a wealth of knowledge. Has all the tools you can expect to need to get the job done. Was willing to help me out immediately. I felt so good walking out of there with my guitar all tuned up.
