I specialize in neck and frets of fretted musical instruments.
After attending the Atlanta Institute of Music, I spent two summers learning repair from Flip Scipio. Then I went to Roberto-Venn School of Luthiery. I spent some time working for Ovation. I am certified in guitar repair and construction. I feel that my experience and schooling make me qualified to handle most any repair situation.
I was inspired to start learning repair back in the mid eighties. I could never find any body that could repair my guitars to my satisfaction. And when I would complain or comment on these repairs, I felt that I was not taken seriously. This is a big problem around here. I am out to stop this. So, my approach is to take everybody's problem seriously, whether or not you can even play the instrument.
