Thank you for visiting my website.
My name is William, I am a guitar-maker / repair man based out of Los Angeles, CA.

I have been working as a guitar-maker for a Boutique Custom Guitars company for the past 6 years doing finishes, wiring, custom, assembly... which got me thinking that I could help people/friends that needed repairs/finishes or custom stuff.
That was actually easy, being in L.A., so many musicians, collectors and bands.
Working with professionals meant that the work had to be to the highest possible standard.

I focus on Guitars and Basses, acoustic or electric, classical guitars too.
My main concern is to get the best out of the instrument, whatever it is, cheap or vintage, bit up or not... I will do everything I can to make it play and sound better with all the little tricks I learned with time and experience, and you'll see, it works!

Cash, checks and now paypal accepted.

I will definitey let you know if something we hadn't predicted happens and will always give you the best price I can.

For exemple, sometimes I would get a strat "Made in China" and do a complete fret dressing to eliminate buzz, install a bone nut (since they always come with plastic ones), then change the pickups for better ones and lastly, a complete setup adjusting everything.
The result can be amazing, producing a guitar that sounds and plays better than any vintage one...

I also do guitar finishing with either Nitrocellulose, Acrylic urethane and also oil finish, custom colors, metallics, transparent stains, vintage tints on maple necks... (I offer good prices for M.I. Students and returning customers)

So, anytime you need some work done on your axe, feel free to contact me to get a free estimate. I will be more than happy to help you out with what can or has to be done and a time to get together and look at it.
Know that I won't ever pressure you to do unecessary adjustments/changes on your instrument but will always find solutions that fit your need and budget.

Thank you for learning a little about me and my guitar shop.

Please keep looking at my website, you'll find some pictures of relics I did, re-fin and better than anything else, the GUITARS I HAND MAKE!!!...
I hope to see or hear from you soon.

Cheers & All the Best.
William.
