Hello everyone and welcome to the new home of Philtone online. It's been a long time coming, but I have finally begun the process of giving the website a much needed facelift. I hope the new website will be easier to use, more informative and updated more frequently. Please check back often as I will soon be uploading a slew of info and photos of my latest repair examples and much more. Please check out the articles linked in the Service page.

Philtone Guitar Co. is open and taking new work on a limited basis for October 2008.

As we head into fall and pennant races and football contests, please remember to monitor relative humidity and make sure your stringed friends (and yourself!) are comfortable. Here in the mid Atlantic region, we typically experience a significant decrease in relative humidity with non precipitating cold fronts
; our summers are humid and our winters are dry. Humidify as necessary!

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.
