Brought a Gretsch guitar in for a pickup swap. Kurt was extremely knowledgeable and thorough in his explanation of the process. He also gave suggestions on a few things that could use tweaking. The job was done in two days. When I pick the guitar up, Kurt explained everything that was done and even opened the back panel of the guitar to show me his soldering work. This definitely is a person I can trust with my guitars. Judging by his vast experience as both an instructor and luthier, I would definitely recommend him for any stringed instrument service!

Quite simply, MayosMusic the place to go for guitar care. Kurt is awesome! Very friendly and knows his stuff well. The consultation and estimate was very comprehensive. The work was masterful and quick. I had a beat up strat that buzzed and couldn't hold tune. Kurt worked his magic and the next day the old strat was ready to be picked up. This guitar has probably never sounded better! If you are on his side of town and you need someone to care for your instruments, there's no better place!

Kurt did an amazing job setting up my 5-string bass. Amazing attention to detail and quick turn around. Worth every penny.

I can't say enough about Kurt Mayo. Friendly, very knowledgeable, very helpful, an expert at his craft. I am a customer with several guitars Kurt has worked on in California. Not only did he do an excellent job on my guitars, he also provided some expert and helpful tips for trouble shooting some issues on my guitar, and his tips worked! Whether you know something about guitars or you are new to guitars, everyone can learn something from Kurt. He really takes the time to help you, and I am lucky to know him. Thanks from Adam in CA.

I recently purchased a new bass and could tell that it needed a good set up. I contact Kurt that evening and was about able to meet with him the next day. When We met he gave the bass a thorough inspection and walked me through the work that needed to be done. He also suggested that the bass be shielded to eliminate a really bad buzz. He was upfront about what NEEDED immediate attention vs. what he simply recommended. I ended going with all of his recommendations, but appreciated the fact that he didn’t try to up sell me on unnecessary repairs. I also love the fact that he was able to complete the work in a couple of days. The sound and feel are A+++ and the buzz is now non existent . Kurt is knowledge, courteous, professional and very good at what he does. He’s gained a customer for life in my and I would recommend him to anyone!

Kurt is unbelievably patient and knowledgeable. I have been taking lessons for a couple of months now and have progressed quickly. He was able to identify the gaps in playing and is helping to fill in the areas I need help. I had him tune up my 30+ year old guitar. It has never played this well, it was like having a brand new guitar. I was ready to buy a new one, and am holding off, I can't believe its the same guitar. I would highly recommend and have gladly done so.

I have an old decca guitar. 2 of the guitar pegs had missing tuning pegs. Hard to find tuning pegs for this decca guitar and i Could not find the tuning pegs. I searched all over phoenix /casa grande az and none of the guitar shops had these tuning pegs for my guitar. I decided to call kurt mayo which was on the last list on the internent website. I got to speak to Kurt about if he sold any tuning pegs for a decca guitar. I went to his guitar shop. And he had the tuning pegs for the decca guitar that was similar to the same as the old tuning pegs for my decca guitar. The tuning pegs fitted perfectly and made the decca guitar stand fit back to working condition. Very knowledgeble, I will come back if needed. And I recommend his guitar shop for your guitar needs.

Kurt is an absolute professional with an amazing background. He took my vintage Goya G10 from unplayable to a dream. Most importantly he was able to explain my issues and what it would take to fix in a manner that I could understand and his attention to detail was amazing.. His workshop is set up with an amazing array of tools and parts. I like that he is independent and works for you not a large store. Definitely a great find!!!

I am very new to guitar and just recently purchased an acoustic/electric secondhand. I thought it had an issue with the pickup so I brought it in to Kurt. It's obvious he has a treasure trove of experience. The work he did was fantastic and came at a reasonable price. However, I think most importantly he taught me about my guitar and what to look for should I have problems in the future. Can't recommend him enough!

I recently took my "affordable" guitar to Kurt for a setup, which it badly needed, and I got it back with it playing like a dream. And he provided a really quick turn around time to boot! Kurt certainly puts a lot of care into his work, and takes pride in knowing he has satisfied a customer. He clearly gets my vote!

I brought Kurt a couple of old guitars to get tuned up for my kids. They were not expensive guitars and one was pretty beat up. I could not believe the results. They were like the best guitars I had ever played. I next took my Taylor 710 for him to work over. I thought it was a pretty good guitar but after Kurt got done it was an amazing guitar. Noticibly easier to play and everything sounded more sweet and clear. Now that is the best guitar I have ever played. Now I want him to work over my Taylor 912 e. Note I like Kurt so much I ship my guitars to him in Arizona from my home in Nevada

I recently bought a guitar online that ended up getting cracked during shipping and was able to get that repaired as well as lowering the action on my guitar. Kurt was very knowledgeable and transparent in explaining his plans to fix the guitar!
