Nomadic Guitar Repair and Lessons

Nomadic Guitar Repair and Lessons Repair of things with strings.... as well as Lessons on Guitar, Mando, and Voice. In 1996 I bought a book on how to construct a solid body guitar.

After digging through a lumberyard and finding a random piece of flamed maple and another of Birdseye maple, I was on my way. I spent $40 on the wood and began my plan for my first guitar construction. I didn’t have all the tools back then and I spent months with my father’s files and a sanding block, but slowly I put it all together with glue sweat and solder. From there I started working under J

ohn Honge at Musician’s Workshop in Manalapan, NJ. I learned a ton from the NJ Shore Guitar repair staple. When he left the shop for a gig closer to home, in 2003, I took over full time repair duties and have been working on all stringed instruments ever since. From setups on acoustics, electrics and basses, to electronic overhauls, pickup installs or minor solder jobs, to headstock repairs and finish fixes, every job gets the same love and care as that that first guitar I made from scraps found at the lumber yard! The work is always done with the player in mind.
