- About Me:
- Beginning my guitar repair career in 1985, Istudied under many different guitar repairmen to learn the trade. In 1990 I launched into the guitar repair business professionally and began training with various manufacturers such as Taylor Guitars and Tom Anderson Guitarworks. I started a guitar repair business in Auburn, California, and later moved it to Music Row in Nashville, Tennessee, where I've been for over 12 years. In 1997, I created www.guitarservices.com and the Guitar Services Workshops. These workshops provide on-hands personal training for various types of Guitar Repair. The Workshops are provided mainly for guitar technicians who tour with professional artists, retail guitar store employees, distribution warehouse guitar technicians and guitar manufacturing employees.
I have authored 5 books and 2 DVDs on guitar care, setup and repair, published by Mel Bay Publishers. My latest book, Guitar Setup, Maintenance & Repair is a best seller. You can also read many of my articles in Acoustic Guitar Magazine, Guitar Sessions Magazine as well as his column on Gbase.com.
In 2006 the D’addario string company hired me to conduct their Gear Days Clinics covering the United States. These free clinics are conducted through various colleges, universities and music stores, (such as Sam Ash Music). The clinics are designed to help educate players on proper guitar care and restringing, as well as, the latest gear, tools and accessories available. Check the Events page for a Gear Days Clinic near you.
