It was too far a drive to bring it back but a little research told me the bridge point was probably a little flat and that I could file a sharper point on it and it might fix it. It did fix it. I brought another guitar in as well and they fixed everything wrong and even found a couple additional things which they fixed at no additional charge.

It buzzed like crazy, had dead notes, and bridge screws were sticking out and scraping my hands. It took Terry only 1 day to work on it and the neck feels like new! Action is super low at about 1.5 mm on all the strings. Neck is super straight and flat. Pretty much no fret buzz now with 8 to 48 gauge strings on my 7-string. Bridge screws are no longer scraping my hands too! Feels absolutely fantastic. You could sweep pick on it all day! Im so incredibly happy with how it turned out. The price was also extremely reasonable for the quality of the work he did. I had done fret work on my own Ibanez guitars before, but I wouldn't even bother anymore. Terry will make it play like a custom shop for a very good price.

With tears in my eyes I searched the web and found Bill, to whom I rushed the freshly damaged instrument. He was optimistic after looking things over and after explaining the break we decided to see what could be done. I soon heard from him, complete with a clear picture of the inside of the instrument. He expressed confidence that it could be repaired and likely sound at least as good as if not better than before. It's finished and sounds wonderful! He told me I did the right thing to bring it in right away rather than try to fix it myself or let it sit for a long time. So that's the advice I'll pass on to you. And I'll top it off with the feeling I was treated honestly and fairly.

I came into the studio (virtually, lol) nervous and super self-conscious about my voice, and she immediately helped me feel at home and more at ease with producing sound. Her technical explanations and the visual imagery she provides during warm-ups have been revelatory as well. She's helped me expand my range, improve my vocal tone, and strengthen my confidence as a singer. I recommend her highly. I'd honestly give her double the stars if I could :)
