The world is imperfect and sometimes things fall apart. Not to worry, they can be repaired or replaced! I’ll cover anything from headstock to tailpiece.

Some jobs demand extra fine detail. This service is for things like refrets, gluing headstocks, refinishing, body cavity routing, and floating tremolos. My pricing is still competitive even for jobs that require the utmost care.

For sale: this beautiful Jazzpunk fretless P Bass. It features an alder body in eye-catching robin egg blue, string through body bridge, roasted maple neck with satin polyurethane finish, and a P-J pickup configuration that covers just about every tone you’d ever need it to. Fretless jazz elegance meets punk rock styling. Fitted with LaBella low tension flatwound strings.
This guitar features an alder body in gorgeous capri orange finish, a maple neck with rosewood fretboard and Grover tuners on a reversed headstock, and simplified one-pickup configuration with an absolutely amazing Alumitone Deathbucker by Lace pickups. This pickup gets the response and tone of an active rig without the need for 9v batteries. Check out the all black hardware including Dunlop Strap-Loks. Spooky! This is a beast of a guitar for a not so beastly price.
This is the first in a series of three jazzy guitars I am building this Fall. It features a gunstock oil rubbed walnut body, a roasted maple neck with satin finish and rosewood fretboard, fine Canadian leather strap, and lush, full-sounding pickups by Seymour Duncan. This sweet guitar is a treat to play.
