I recently discovered Snider's School of Music and so far it's a perfect fit for me. I am currently on a fixed income due to major surgery, and the owners have worked with me to allow me to purchase what I need for the right price. Most recently I worked with Warren and Randy his guitar tech (and instructor) to set up a Squier Bullet Strat, and not only was the cost of parts & labor very reasonable, but they did an excellent job on the setup. I look forward to working with them for all of my needs going forward. Highly recommended to all.

I had no idea how to sing and would rank myself horrible, but after just a few lessons I have learned tips and tricks and my recordings have sounded great. I'm excited to continue this journey.

He cleaned up my neck and polished my frets at no extra charge. I paid him more than he asked me for because I had no idea he cared so much about every job he gets. Canadian independent. Toronto local. Can't get much better than that! I recommend Ash to anyone that likes doing honest business without a crazy markup for profit.

The guitar is equipped with a Fishman pre-amp system and I did not want to risk damaging the wire connections of this rather expensive system to the jack. Ash completed the delicate job entirely to my satisfaction for a ridiculously low charge. My guitar sounds as good as ever with the now secure jack and I am consequently extremely pleased. This gentleman prioritizes service over profit making and he has my highest recommendation. I certainly will use only his services for my guitars in the future. Thank you very much, Ash! it was a singular pleasure doing business with you.
