Customer Testimonial:

“In thirty years of playing and actively gigging in and around Ohio, I’ve had my fair share of guitar maintenance issues. Greg is by far the most customer-service oriented luthier I’ve dealt with.  Not to mention the top notch quality of his work.  After other repairmen wrote off my beloved workhorse of an acoustic, Greg was able to make a fair assessment of the guitar and recommend practical repairs that wouldn’t break the bank. He turned the work around for me very quickly so that my gigging schedule would not be affected by using a “backup” guitar.  I was so impressed with the outcome that my back up guitar wound up at Greg’s shop for a full set-up, new nut, saddle and all.”
–Rob Chandler-Worship Leader, Studio Owner, Session Guitarist
