What's on the wall
“I recently took two of my guitars over to Cory at The Hobbit Luthier — two Strats I hadn’t played much recently.”
“He does such an incredible job setting up any bass I bring him, from Fenders to Rick to Sadowsky.”
“I’ve brought all my guitars to him for professional setups, and every single time the results have been absolutely top of the line.”
“As a student musician who plays in my school band, I can’t overstate how much of a difference his expertise has made in helping me perform at my best.”
Brands they deal
“I came to Cory with a Fender that needed some minor fixes, and I left with a completely new guitar that was far better than I could have imagined.”
“He turned around an emergency setup on my beloved 1968 Gibson Hummingbird expertly, same day, so I'd be gig-ready.”
“Cory is a certified tech for Taylor guitars, but his knowledge extends far beyond any one brand.”

From the reviews
Cory is one of the best in the business - as a person and luthier. I was on the verge of selling a Gibson SG that I had for years but never played quite right. I had Cory set it up before putting it on the market and needless to say, I never sold the guitar and it became my main for years after.
When Cory was 16 and fresh out of luthier school I had him working on my guitars and basses, as a touring musician with major labels I have very high standards and Cory exceeded all of them. I'm a customer of ten years and I moved to the west coast so non longer.
I came to Cory with a Fender that needed some minor fixes, and I left with a completely new guitar that was far better than I could have imagined. He knows his stuff and I will be coming back to him for sure for any guitar questions or needs.
Cory does phenomenal work Espically on difficult acoustic repairs and severe cases where a neck has come off the body. If your baby needs some TLC the hobbit is your guy!!!
