As a fully trained Master Luthier
I have years of experience building and repairing guitars. Whether your instrument needs a basic fret dressing, a full fret replacement with level and dress, a crack repair or a full neck reset, your repairs will be completed professionally and as quickly as possible. I fully stand behind all my work and will correct anything that doesn’t meet with your complete satisfaction. If I cannot resolve the issue to your satisfaction I will gladly refund your money.
