Jeff checked the neck, played all the notes on all the frets, and plugged it in to the amp as well to test. There was no buzzing and it was very playable so no adjustments were needed. He suggested that I should wait for the weather to change (with the change in seasons I guess) and see if it will need an adjustment then. I am glad that he was honest since the guitar was playable right out of the box and didn't charge for a setup that wasn't needed.

During our conversation I noted that his passion for Guitars was clearly evident. I felt confident that he would bring more musical life to this instrument. Matthew checked fret wear, the string action (and spacing) , the guitar neck, tonality, guitar bridge and stability, string groove, action, tuners, fret buzz, saddle height, intonation, pick up height, stable tuning and much more, He is meticulous and precise. My instrument now has new Life, Vibrancy and now runs on all Musical Cylinders! It is a pleasure to know Matthew and the positive aura that is felt when you are at MW Guitar Repair. You will walk in with a smile and leave with a bigger smile. Thank You friend. I truly appreciate the intense work you perform. Additonally your work is of Heart and Soul, sincerely..

Matt brought my guitar and ukelele from "Rustic Grime" to Masterpiece!…read more I brought my 20-year-old Walden Natura D550 and a vintage 1953 ukulele to Matt, and the results are honestly shocking. The '53 uke was in rough shape--old, rustic, and covered in decades of grime. Matt transformed it completely. He finely detailed the body until it was shining like a mantle piece, fixed the tuners, and recommended Nylgut strings that make it sound incredible. It went from a dusty relic to a daily player that I can't put down. For my Walden guitar, Matt performed "wild work." The action was high and the strings were dead, but he used a "cold clamp" technique on the neck and hand-carved a perfect unbleached bone saddle. He even recommended a spectacular cocobolo bridge to match the guitar's aesthetic and tone. Both instruments came back sounding "shockingly fantastic." If you have an instrument that has lost its "soul" or just needs expert engineering to sing again, Matt is the man to see. A true master of his craft and a total professional.

Six weeks later, I had heard nothing from him. I called him, I emailed him, and I texted him. No response of any kind.

At this point I'm concerned that I'll never get my instruments back again--which represents thousands of dollars of loss.

This was an absolutely delightful experience…read more Ruben is a gem - he knows his shit, understands a broad range of instruments, is kind, and does terrific work. He's not Sam Ash or Guitar Center - and getting personalized work, advice, and tips from someone who deeply loves music feels so special. His 'shop' or workspace is super special too. It is the best of Brooklyn. I'd definitely recommend taking your instruments to him. He breathed new life into a clarinet and flute that I was given, advising me in a way that showed he's less about making a quick buck and instead offering guidance and care for what both I, and the instruments, needed. Go to Ruben. His love for instruments is unmatched, and you will know you've worked with an actual small business owner who cares.
