Went to Eric with some used guitars I purchased off CL (Epiphone LP with Bigsby and Ibanez 5 string bass). Eric was very straight forward with the pricing and what needed to be done for each instrument. My instruments needed a lot of work done... but it wasn't an issue! Very thankful that I live nearby and was able to drop them off to Eric. With a very fast turnaround time, they play really well! The experience was very professional and I would highly recommend Eric to anyone with guitar repair needs. Eric seems very knowledgeable Thanks again Eric. Will definitely be taking all of my future repairs and maintenance setups to you! read more

Thanks Eric! read more

Eric professionally assessed and fixed my electric bass guitar. No more buzzing and bent neck! He is very responsive and delivered in a timely manner. Highly recommended! read more

Let this review be my ringing endorsement of Eric's ability to set up any style of guitar. If I was to ever tour and could afford my own tech, he'd be the first guy I'd call for the job. Not only is he able to fix legitimate technical issues. He also was able to cater to my eccentric tastes and requests for a set-up that more suited my playing style. Truly rock-star material. read more

I contacted Eric after buying a Jackson Dinky DK2 off of craigslist. I tried tuning the guitar myself, but given that it was a floyd rose style, and my first time operating one, I did more damage than good. The guitar became way out of whack and I ultimately decided to have a professional setup done on it. I contacted Eric and he immediately wrote back, was super flexible, and we arranged to have the guitar dropped off. When I first arrived, he glanced over the guitar and quickly spotted out stuff I was unaware of and then got to work on the guitar. I picked it up the next day and it plays like a dream. He also walked me through how to keep it in tune going forward. Huge thanks to Eric and I would definitely recommend taking your guitar to him. read more

I brought my late fathers 78 Gibson Les Paul Custom that hadn't been setup properly in 2 years. I found Eric on Yelp and decided to have a proffesional do the job. I was not disappointed. Eric adjusted my tailpiece height to match up with the bridge, intonation is now on point, and my action is where it needs to be. The most noticable difference was when I plugged her into my tube amp. At the end of our transaction he had mentioned that he adjusted the height of the neck humbucker, which is something that was seldom adjusted (I've always had it high). All these years I thought that muddy dark tone of this humbucker was set in stone, not something that could change without swapping the whole humbucker. This new brighter tone is like playing a new guitar. It's a night and day difference believe me. I am pleased with his work and I highly recommend you give him a try for your next setup. His dog is pretty awesome as well. read more

I had a fantastic experience working with Eric. He was very responsive when I requested a quote.

I will definitely be taking other builds to Eric, his workmanship and pricing is unmatched. THANK YOU ERIC!!! read more

Alright let me start off by saying before I reached out to Eric. I had gone to a music store in Pomona and took my American Fender Stratocaster to get "Set-up" came back worst than when I took it in. I got in contact with Eric. One of the most down to earth guys. He is very polite and and straight forward with the facts. I just played my strat last night and let me tell you I felt like my playing even stepped up just by how well my guitar felt. If you need to take any of your guitars/bass to get set up. Look no further. You will not be disappointed. Not only did I receive a great set up but made a friend in the mix of it. read more
