About Me
Guitar tech with over 3 years of hands-on experience specializing in setups, electronics, and modifications. I've refined my skills through extensive work on a variety of guitars and custom projects, allowing me to handle a wide range of services.Hi, I’m Kevin, a college student and musician with a passion for music and hands-on work. I learned the ins and outs of guitar work and came to enjoy the process. What started as a hobby turned into something I take pride in helping other players get the sound and feel they’re after.
Important Notes
I do NOT work on:
Fret replacement
Full fret leveling

FAQs
Not sure about the pricing for multiple services? Send me a message with what you need, and I’ll give you a custom quote. I offer discounts when combining certain services.
How do I get my guitar serviced?
Message me to discuss the service you need.
We can arrange a time and day that works for you.
Most jobs are done the same day or within a few hours, depending on the service and current workload.
For quick jobs, you can wait in the designated waiting area while I work.
Do I need to bring my own parts?
If you have your own parts, great! Bring them with you.
If you need parts, I can source them for you, but keep in mind it may take 1-2 days for delivery depending on availability.
Any parts that I don’t already have on hand will be added to the final price, and I will inform you beforehand.
Do you work on acoustic guitars? How about basses?
I offer setups for acoustics (string changes, neck relief and saddle adjustments).
I also work on basses for setups, electronics, and basic mods.
I work on other stringed instruments as well (e.g., classical guitars, ukuleles)
