Steve

Owner and Repair Master

 In 1996 I bought a book on how to construct a solid body guitar. After digging through a lumberyard and finding a random piece of flamed maple and another of Birdseye maple, I was on my way. I spent $40 on the wood and began my plan for my first guitar construction. I didn’t have all the tools back then and I spent months with my father’s files and a sanding block, but slowly I put it all together with glue sweat and solder. After this building adventure I decided to quit my corporate job and began managing and teaching at Musicians Workshop in NJ. When the on site tech left, I took over his repair job as well. After a decade of learning the ins and outs of the retail music biz on all levels, and after years of touring the West Coast I took my talents to Los Angeles. Things couldn’t be better! From setups on acoustics, electrics and basses, to electronic overhauls, pickup installs or minor solder jobs, to headstock repairs and finish fixes, every job gets the same love and care as that that first guitar I made from scraps. With Lessons on guitar, bass, ukulele, mandolin, vocals and performance at the shop and three days spent as the on-site music teacher for Google/Youtube LA and Playa Del Rey, I live breathe and sleep music.
