Additional Info:	Fretted Instrument Repair- I specialize in acoustic instruments, but can work with electric as well. Guitars, mandolins, banjos, basses, etc. I am a lifelong musician and player of acoustic fretted instruments. I have studied repair informally for many years and completed the journeyman program at Galloup School of Lutherie (in 2008), where I obtained a more thorough grounding in construction and repair principles, as well as hands-on experience. My goal is to optimize playability and tone so that you get the most enjoyment and responsiveness from your instrument. I'm happy to take on large and small projects: setups; fret dressing, crowning or replacement; repair of cracks, seams and braces; repair or replacement of nuts, saddles, bridges; rewiring of electronics; neck adjustments; pickup installation; etc etc etc. References available by request.
Fees:	Rates are reasonable and often determined by the project.
Specialisms:	Luthier / String Instruments
