"My guitar and amp have never sounded so good. My guitar had been worked on by three different shops before I finally took it to someone that knows what they're doing. No attitude, no high costs. It saved me from selling my guitar. I was so happy with the work done to my guitar that I decided to take my amp in also, and it is a completely new amp. The sound before the repairs doesn't even compare to how it sounds now. I'll never take my equipment anywhere else."
