"I played guitar in the Blood Brothers and I currently play in Jaguar Love here in Portland. In all my years I don't think I've been happier with anyone that's worked on my guitars. Ryan gets my highest recommendation! Anywhere from basic set ups to complete restoration of guitars are better than well done at East Side. They also do really great amp repair! The best service with the best quality of work. Legends. Check em out!"
