I recently had the horror of discovering that my beloved 1992 Taylor 710 was brutalized by an airline and I feared that it was beyond repair. Kerry took the challenge to restore it and did an amazing job, far better acoustically and cosmetically than I could have hoped for. I highly recommend Kerry and so appreciate his craftsmanship.

What is a 5 star rating? To me, in the end, its - did I leave highly satisfied with the work done and the price I paid. Yes! I was convinced Kerry, my luthier/tech gave his BEST EFFORT - with regard to patience, persistence, and a genuine concern for his work and my detailed expectations.

Kerry is an artist and craftsman with an old world approach to quality. I was lucky enough to get a referral to Kerry about 9 years ago, and not he is the only guy I really trust with my instruments. I play guitar and mandolin for a living, and have come to trust Kerry when he makes suggestions for my instruments. It doesnt hurt that hes also about the nicest guy youll meet.

Went in my bass I wasn’t sure if it could be returned to original condition, with in a week I had my bass back looking just as good as ever! Couldn’t be happier he was also a fantastic person with an awesome shop! Will return if I need anymore work

A true pro! Trust him, his wisdom and experience. His work is superb as is his love for guitars, musicians and music. The fact he is the luthier and repair resource for “picky” and strumming pros who serve as his repeat clients speaks volumes.

Kerry is one of the finest repair artists in the world. I have a 1938 Loo that he rebuilt from pieces and it is a beast. He does all of my work, new saddles, neck re sets on a 46 lg2, turned a beat up 1947-8 j45 into the finest into one of the Gibson I have ever played with new frets and some crack repairs. His repairs make vintage guitars better then they ever sounded. He is a true master at what he does and through the years I have know him is still breaking new ground in his restorations, repairs and his guitar building.The guitars I play coming out of his shop get better each time. He is always pushing the envelope in research to make his guitars in some cases built like the original greats. To boot, he is one of the finest human beings you will run across.I dont play UKes but I hear they are off the charts.Kerrry, thank you for everything you have done for me.
