There are so many unique and wonderful guitars in the world - and just as many ways to break, damage or neglect them. I have always made repair a regular part of my work life, and have grown to love the satisfaction of bringing a truly challenged guitar back to life.

I also write a regular column for Acoustic Guitar magazine, dealing with repair, setup, maintenance and related topics. An archive of those articles can be found at:
Acoustic Guitar - Ask The Expert
Each repair is as unique as the player who brings it in.
I do not publish prices for repair services, as they must be quoted on a case-by-case basis. I strive to keep my rates within reach for working musicians, while maintaining a quality of work that does justice to the instrument. Vintage guitars have already lived a life longer than my own, and will hopefully continue to make music long after I am gone.
Some of the common repairs that I offer:
Broken headstocks (a specialty!)
Neck Resets
Refrets, full or partial
Loose binding regluing
Fret level and recrown
Loose brace regluing
Debugging wiring / electronic problems, hum etc.
Regluing or replacing acoustic bridges
Cosmetic repairs, finish touch-up
General setup/adjustment
Modifications / upgrades / replacement parts
