“ 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”
Bob Larson
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.”
Peter Paige, Wickenburg, Arizona

Cyril Niccolai’s was gifted this guitar, but needed it electrified for his European tour. We installed a Fishman Matrix pickup system, a set of strap buttons and sent him on his way.


A customers favorite classical. Bridge pulled up. Fixed. Customer Happy.


Taylor broken by one of the major airlines who would be named if I could remember it. Repaired it and as you can see from the photos it turned out beautifully. Airline didn’t pay for it.

This guitar’s neck was broken twice. Check out the image with the green arrow that shows the original Guitar Dog repair. When the neck broke a second time ( another victim of “no stand syndrome”) it broke in a new place, my original repair held beautifully! The customer chose to have the break repaired with no finish work. Eight months and counting … no re-brakes!
