What's on the wall
“The volume control on my Telecaster gave out, and I figured I’d have to leave it with a shop for a week or more.”
“Tomm has been working on my basses for almost a decade and I would follow him across country if necessary to have his expert touch.”
“If anyone needs work done on their precious vintage instrument, these are the guys.”
“Lewis, Brian, Tom and Jake have several decades of guitar repair experience between them, and with their Plek machine they're able to really dial in everything in a guitar setup.”
“Lewis is a great instructor and has allowed me to know my ‘76 Fender Strat more intimately than I ever have.”
“Lewis took my previously difficult-to-play Eastman mandolin and Seagull guitar and set them up beautifully.”

From the reviews
Highly recommended! Lewis took my previously difficult-to-play Eastman mandolin and Seagull guitar and set them up beautifully. I'll definitely be returning to Wood Street for future setup and repair work (hopefully with a nicer instrument someday), and will continue to send my musician friends their way.
I recently had complete refurb of my 1969 Martin D 18 (neck reset, re-fret, pickup install, etc.) The guitar sounds amazing, looks great, and the action is better than new. If anyone needs work done on their precious vintage instrument, these are the guys.
They did an amazing job fixing my cracked Martin guitar. It looks like new again, and thanks to an excellent set-up job, you could argue it plays better than new now. Would definitely go back.
I took my parlor guitar into Wood Street Guitar Repair for a pickup install, which was a little bit more complicated because of the type of pickup. I initially sent them an email asking if they could do it and got a very prompt reply.
