“ I needed a pickup installed on my Martin HD 28V. This guitar is my “baby” the one I’m very particular about. The Guitar Dog did an excellent job on the installation and also did the set up on my guitar so it plays better than before. I would not hesitate to recommend the Guitar Dog to anybody; even you “fussy” pickers out there”

Now the top, back and sides are all sound and secure. Time to prep the neck for instillation of the restored finger board. While I’m doing this I will also remove the old tuners to see if they can be salvaged.

A customer brought me this neck with a fun project in mind. Jet black Tele Thin Line style guitar with this beautiful “Tree of Life” neck. As the build continues and we decide on hardware we will update.

“The Dog (or James, if you prefer) has always provided my guitars with the utmost care and professional service; and always with a smile and a cup of coffee.”
“The Dog understands that my guitars are like my children. He always treats them with the greatest personal care. Whether a re-string or a repair, he keeps my guitars smiling.”
“I come from all the way Wickenburg to James, because I know he’s the best; and I always look forward to my next visit.”

My friend Greg needs a second upright for his gigs in Southern California. He found a gem that needs some work. I have it in good shape soon. First order of business is getting top, back and sides secured.
