“Dennis is a great guy and does excellent work.  He’s done a number of things for me including set-ups, pickup installations, wiring, fret leveling, crowning and polishing, repairing a gouge in the neck, and a repair of a vintage Eko guitar.  The Eko was nearly unplayable.  Dennis worked his magic and it is now a nicely set-up, great sounding, fun playing guitar – especially considering what it was like when I got it.  I had him set-up and go over an older USA Strat that I own and it came back playing and sounding like I’d never known it could!  This was a guitar I’d had for several years and it still blows me away when I play it.  He also did a set-up on a recently manufactured Tele that I own, and again it amazed me how much the guitar was improved by his work.  My attitude has always been “…take your time, no hurry”, but his turn-around was always much quicker than I expected.  I wish that eventually I could have him check out and set up every guitar I own.  To be honest, I didn’t know what I was missing.  He took my all-around player Tele, set-it up, a little fret work here and there and now I’ve fallen in love with it all over again.  He’s honest, and his prices are incredibly fair- particularly given the quality of his work.  I know all about crappy work, Dennis is NOT that kind of guy.  I would let him do anything he wanted to on any of my guitars.  He’s never done a refret on my guitars, but I’ve seen his work, the  before and after.  I was kind of in awe as it seemed to be painstakingly done to me.  In short, I’d recommend the guy hands down.”
