Testimonials
“As the owner of a fair number of vintage stringed instruments, it is comforting to have Ryan open his own shop. Based on his decades of experience repairing and restoring vintage guitars, there is no one in the area that delivers work of his calibre. He understands not only the design and physics of guitars but also that each has a personality that his work will bring to the fore.”
— Bob Egan (Wilco, Blue Rodeo)
