Paul recently replaced the frets on my Jackson Adrian Smith Strat. It now plays better than ever…read more His luthier skills are exceptional. I play in a working cover band, and my guitars get a lot of use. Paul has done a fantastic job over the past decade of keeping the fret wear and intonation on my other guitars in check and making sure they are reliable. He offers excellent advice. As a result of following his guidance, the tuning of all my guitars stays very stable during gigs. He has also done maintenance on the guitars and basses for other members in our band. Combined among all of our band members, we have tens of thousands of dollars invested in our guitars, and we trust Paul's expertise entirely to maintain them. Paul has been straightforward to work with over the years, and his customer service is first class. It isn't easy to find someone you can count on these days, and Paul is one of those rare individuals you can count on. Thanks, Paul, for doing such great work!

I was not pleased with a new Gibson Les Paul Custom warranty job that was done…read more The frets in the middle of the neck are noticeably lower than the frets on the higher and lower frets. This was a BRAND NEW GUITAR. Now the middle neck frets feel like they have many years of wear. I took the guitar to two other guitar techs that said the only way that could have happened was if the neck was overbowed instead of flat when the level and dress was done. I reached out and he refused to take care of my issues because it had been several months since the job was done. But I hadn't played the guitar at all, and I had done so much work with him in the past I thought he might take care of me. Nope. I also learned that a couple of wiring jobs he did were not done correctly from another tech who corrected the issues. And I also discovered his prices are as much as double that if other guitar techs. So I am leaving this review as a warning to potential customers about my experiences. I would definitely not recommend this guitar tech for fret work or wiring work. He has done some decent finish repair and polishing work for me in the past. But other than that, I can't recommend him.

Just had an experience with Rumble Seat that made me question which year it was…read more Saw a guitar listed online that interested me, and then saw that it was not too far from me -- right here in Nashville. Called the store. A human answered, pretty quickly. I mentioned the guitar and my interest. He went and physically found the guitar, so that we could talk about it. My budget only allowed for a certain amount, so I made him an offer. He said yes, if I came in today, we could do that. When I came in, I found the guitar needed some work. Nothing too bad, but above my skill set to make it really shine. As I left, I thanked him. He thanked me also, and said, "Now you don't have to wonder about it!" The rest of the world may be somewhere between 2026 and 2097, but Rumble Seat Music is a portal back to my first music store experiences in the early 1990s.

I recently took him three guitars: a 2016 Taylor 414ce, a brand-new Eastman AC222CE, and a Yamaha 3/4-size guitar. The Eastman needed a complete setup because it was noticeably harder to play than my Taylors. Gary transformed it into a guitar that is now comfortable and enjoyable to play. What impressed me even more was his honesty. He carefully inspected my 10-year-old Taylor 414ce and told me it didn't need any adjustments--it was already in excellent condition. Instead of charging me for unnecessary work, he simply cleaned and polished it. That kind of integrity is hard to find. He also installed new tuning machines, lighter strings, and adjusted the saddle on the Yamaha, making it much easier for my young daughter to play. The workmanship was outstanding, the turnaround was incredibly fast and the total bill for all three guitars was more than fair for the work he did. If you're looking for someone who is knowledgeable, trustworthy, reasonably priced, and genuinely cares about making your guitar play its best, Gary is the person to see. He has earned my business, and I'll be taking all of my guitars to him from now on.
