Customer Testimonials: Strat and Tele Setups

“I have 2 guitars and have been playing for over 20 years.  In that time I have had my instruments set-up by several different companies, some that have been in the business for longer than I have been playing.  I can honestly say that no one has adjusted my guitars with such precision and careful attention as Greg Maxwell. He has set-up both of my guitars, (a strat and a tele) and has done fret work on both too.  In my opinion, they both play better now then when I first purchased them.  I would highly recommend his work to both the hobbyist and the professional.  In short, you will not find better.  Plus, he has a beard. You have to admit that’s pretty cool.”

Making a Spalted Maple Rosette

The rosette on an acoustic guitar, along with the peghead and bridge designs, is a big part of the custom builder's signature. Often a particular design will immediately identify the guitar as being made by a specific individual. Perhaps the amazing … [Read More...]
