I have been experiencing problems with my internet/email over the last several days. I am currently working with my ISP to get the problem resolved. When I am back up and running, I will respond to your emails. Thank you for your patience.
Springtime is upon us – St. Patrick’s Day, Easter, Opening Day of Oriole Baseball. As relative humidity rises compared to the low levels of a dry winter, necks may begin to swell and straighten or backbow and it may be time to loosen truss rods a little. As usual, your guitars will tell you what they need. Bring on the nice weather!

The most important thing in the repair process of improving playability is making sure you and I communicate well. I need to know what you are looking for out of your guitar and you need to know what is reasonably possible with it.
