From the reviews
I brought my guitar to Jeff to get the pick ups swapped out. It's my only guitar and I had to really trust someone in letting them do that kind of work. Jeff came through and did a great job on the wiring with a very quick turnaround at a very fair price. I even got to have a coil split option.
Jeff did an extremely solid refret on my 30-something Frankenstrat. And SERIOUSLY, the lowest buzz-free action, all the way up and down the neck, I've ever seen. Amazing, patient work. Oh....and matching my preferred setup on my fleet of guitars was no small task. Pro!
Jeff is a master of his craft! If there's a question about having him do the work on your guitar, don't hesitate! I trust him with all my guitar work. He's a tremendous source of knowledge with a passion for music that he puts into everything he works on. Fast and expertly done! 😎
Jeff serviced two guitars for me recently, a strat and a lower end hollow body, each having different issues. Service was exceptional, and I no longer want to sell my hollow. I wouldn't hesitate to contact him again for help or advice. He's awesome!
