My philosophy on vintage gear…

With over 30 years experience playing stringed instruments and working on my own equipment, I am prepared to do all types of setup and repair work on guitars and tube amplifiers. Chances are, that old guitar or amp you have can be made to play and sound better than many newer ones. I appreciate the design and quality of older equipment and am committed to making these treasures of yesteryear sound their very best.

The gear of yesteryear…

Lawsuit Era Japanese guitars and other pawnshop classics, mother-of-toilet-seat student amps from the ‘50’s — I have a real affinity for such equipment and enjoy bringing these beauties back to life. But I also offer basic setup work, fret leveling and dressing, and tube replacement and amp biasing services for everyone else.
