Our primary business is repairing guitars (both electric and acoustic) and other fretted instruments (banjos, mandolins, etc.) Martin, Gibson, Taylor, Fender, Guild and most other American companies. We will undertake any project, from simple adjustment and setup as well as complex restoration of vintage instruments. In addition to repairs I (Charlie) handcraft acoustic flat top guitars. To date I have completed 590 guitars and am still hard at it.
