From the reviews
I’ve had many guitars setup at Guitar Rescue and Mike always does a great job on every one of them . When I pick them up from him I don’t even look at them in his shop because he always does an outstanding job with them.
Had an Ibanez Jem Jr repaired at the guitar rescue location in NJ. I had taken my brand new jem to sam ash at the Philadelphia mills location and the guy there broke wood off the tremolo hole which made the guitar useless.
Mike is absolutely incredible - he did amazing work getting my Strat and PRS to play even better than brand new, not just in a timely manner but also at very reasonable prices.
I've had a couple of guitars rewired with upgrades and fret work. They turned out way better than I was hoping for, seeing as how they were fairly lower priced imports. I used to do my own repair/mods, but after seeing the quality of Mike's work, I'm embarrassed to even think about it! Highly recommended!
