"You will immediately notice that John is a rare person. He genuinely cares. How often can you really say that about anyone in this country that you hand over money to for any reason, for anything? He's not a cog in a machine somewhere collecting a paycheck or anonymous thing you're buying something from off the internet which involves zero interaction. If that's the future, no thanks. I was honestly embarrassed by how fair and honest his prices are. Maybe it was just shock from a lifetime of having been jerked from every angle by every bad thing about capitalism on every corner. Integrity! Remember that word? Is that still even a thing anymore? I often wonder but then meet individuals such as this gentleman that restore my faith in humanity. I'm worried that if I carry on too much, people will think I'm getting paid to write this. Ummmm... no. Don't even go there. Besides, if he's gonna pay me, he better raise his prices A LOT more! Lol...Take care. Thanks John. The dude abides."

On very short notice, John invited me to stop by his shop where he performed an immediate, but thorough and high quality setup on my son's Alvarez acoustic guitar. Beyond his exceptional expertise as a luthier, John is a wonderful individual and we quickly became friends. I will visit his shop each year when we return to the Jersey Shore.

This man is a true professional. His knowledge and experience are on display the moment you meet him. Along with that he is friendly, polite and generous with his time.He explains in detail what adjustments he is making so you have a complete understanding of the work and the benefits you will get. I would highly recommend his services for any stringed instrument you have.

John is the best! I have had three of my own guitars repaired and set up, I have had pots cleaned and 3 and 5 way switches replaced, pick ups changed and buzzing necks fixed and more. John is my go to and I recommend John.

I have both purchased guitars and had them fixed up by John. He is amazing because he loves what he does and he loves helping people... That's a very good combination. Every one I have referred has been very happy with his work as well. Thanks for being you!

John is a true craftsman. He loves what he does and his work is impeccable. He is very knowledgeable. I have taken my Les Paul's and my Spectors to him and he has done set ups and pick up swaps. He IS the man to go to for guitar work. Sam

John is a great guy and he's a master at the craft. There's no one better in the state. His attention to detail is second to none. Always proud to have him work on my instruments.

John replaced the saddle on my 6-string acoustic. Aside from doing flawless and speedy work, he was a pleasure to speak with - incredibly knowledgeable and competent, and reasonably priced - great value.
