Customers frequently cite quick turnaround times, clear communication, and reasonable pricing for services ranging from standard setups and reststringing to complex repairs like headstock breaks and electronic rebuilds. The owner responds to all reviews, and most patrons highlight the shop's punctuality and the technician's ability to identify hidden issues. However, two lower-rated reviews criticize the limited availability for in-person interactions, noting that weekday appointments are restricted to a short afternoon window during heavy traffic.

Excellent work on the Rickenbacker! Got the guitar back quickly and it sounds great. Super nice guy.
Dan did some fret work on my acoustic to fix some buzz at the 5th fret. Timely, efficient, and friendly service. I look forward to working with him again!
So I just recently bought a Taylor online sight unseen. Of course when I received it I was in need of a set up. I found Dan and he did an excellent job on setting it up exactly how I wanted it. I highly recommend him
DAN'S THE MAN! 🤘 Had some trouble installing new pickups myself and I should have had an expert do it for me the first time! 😂 Dan diagnosed the issues and gave me options to work with. Great insight and communication throughout the whole service. Guitar looks and plays even better after a full setup by Dan.…

Great insight and communication throughout the whole service. Guitar looks and plays even better after a full setup by Dan. I'll definitely be reaching out to him again for my future guitar needs! 🤙
It was a pleasure Alex...and don't "fret" over struggling with installing the pickups. It is not the easiest thing to do if you don't have a lot of experience, so I am happy to help. I think those EMGs are a great upgrade and you should love the sound. Looking forward to working with you again!!
Mission Viejo Guitar Tech services did an excellent job on getting my guitar back in shape. I had issues with my tuners that were missing screws to the plates that hold them down onto the headstock and several that were loose. While consulting with him he noticed several other issues ( The saddle not orientated properly during the original build, a burr on my B string tuning peg that was cutting and breaking my string, the action on my guitar was too high making playing more difficult.) All of these were solved by him in one day along with vacuuming out the inside of my guitar and cleaning and treating the wood. I was super impressed with his professionalism and attention to detail. Will be back. My guitar looks and plays better now than when it was brand new.
I am so happy that you are playing the guitar William! I appreciate your passion for playing again and I am glad I could help with getting you there. Looking forward to working with you again soon!
My guitar fell, hit the floor and the headstock snapped in 2 pieces. Found Dan's web site and sent him a text to see if he could repair it. He was very responsive and did good work. I also had him do a complete set up and he made my guitar look and play like new. He worked on it the same day I brought it to him and got it back the next day. He also keep me posted on his progress all along the way (including pictures).
Thanks Dale...it is always exciting to restore an instrument to working order for someone. I am so glad you are happy with the result!
Dan is extremely professional and knowledgeable. He took my 20-year-old acoustic guitar and gave it a new life while incorporating all the requests I had made for him. Could not have been happier with the results.
I am so happy that I could get your guitar in shape and give it new life! Enjoy playing it and let me know if there is anything else I can do for you.
