Vintage Guitars, Guitar Repair, Amplifier Repair

Carmel Valley Guitar Shop

With 39 years of experience in the guitar manufacturing industry, I've built parts for renowned brands such as Fender, Gibson, Epiphone, Dean, Kramer, Kala Ukulele, Steinberger, Trussart Guitars, Travis Bean, and many more.

Did I also mention that I was licensed by Fender to manufacture their replacement parts?

My passion for guitars started at a young age, and it has only grown over the years. There's something truly special about the craftsmanship and artistry that goes into each instrument. I take great pride in every repair, restoration, and custom build, treating each guitar as if it were my own.

Let me put all these years of experience and passion to work for you. I'm here to serve!
