Customer Testimonials: Martin Fret Work

“I took my Martin D-28 to Dogwood guitars to get it worked on, It was in pretty bad shape when I bought it used. Someone had tried to install frets on their own and it was buzzing and the action was hard to play. I called Greg and he said to stop by and he’d look it over and give me a free estimate. I was impressed with his work shop, he has all the proper tools to build and work on guitars. He was able to level and dress the frets without replacing them (which saved me money.)  He adjusted the neck and did a setup and with new strings it sounds sweet. Also made a bone nut that looks like it came factory it really improved the sound. I would recommend Greg Maxwell at Dogwood Guitars to anyone with guitar needs, I will go back for mine.”
