Joe did a Fender warranty repair for me. The part I needed was back ordered for several months. Joe was diligent andkept in contact with Fender regarding my parts. When the bridge finally arrived Joe did the repair perfectlyNot only is Joe a talented Luthier, but he is one of the nicest people I’ve ever dealt with in the business. I highly recommend his services.

I took my 1992 SG Junior to get rid of some fret buzz and a setup. Guitar plays beautifully now. Also polished the frets and straitened out the electronics. All for a very fair price. Joe is a good dude that knows what he’s doing and I highly recommend him

Hacked up my Charvel!!! I wanted a recessed tremolo route. The routing was so close to the bridge pins that it ruined the guitar making it unplayable. Under tension the bridge pins would have snapped. Joe made no attempt to correct his mistake. I got “it is what it is”…. Scumbag

Joe is possibly one of the 5 nicest people in the world. I have been working with Joe for years now and he has taken me from a complete novice to a confident guitar purchaser. Joe has taken, with great patience, time to explain the very complicated aspects of guitars and why some will work better for me than others. He has helped me to return guitars with structural problems that I never would have caught. On top of that, he's a great guitar and bass teacher. I have written an album because of Joe's songwriting expertise. As a Harvard trained psychologist, I can say that if you have a problem with this guy, you are the problem.

This man knows everything about guitars and is not afraid to offer expert advice and work with his customers to offer the best solution for their situation. I won’t be taking my bass to anyone else.

Joe did a fantastic job repairing my acoustic guitar. It's perhaps playing better now than it has in its 15-year life.

Joe did a great repair job on my Les Paul studio. I'm heading there today to get a rewire on my Telecaster's bridge pick-up. I wouldn't bring it anywhere else!

Joe is very easy to deal with, super honest and an excellent luthier. He did a great job replacing my Fender strat pups and also did an expert setup. The strat now sounds and plays like a dream. Highly recommended!

Joe was to build me a voodoo strat, he had me purchase a strat body from all parts, the body was over 200.00 I gave him the body, after a year he didn't build guitar, and I knew he wasn't going too, I asked him for the body back, he claimed he missed placed it, and doesn't no where it is no I'm sorry no reimbursement, no nothing never , after numerous attempts going down to his shop and calling I just gave up, can't believe he's still in business!

GOLD rated Fender repair shop- for good reason! I took a buzzing Strat with very high action to Joe over the holidays. He found the time to get me in and he far exceeded my expectations. It plays much "better" than new (amazing action and zero buzz; he also leveled and dressed all the frets and did an expert set-up, etc.) He followed up regularly with me; was generous to share expert tips and his price was more than fair- especially for this level of work and attention to detail. If you want the job done right, I would highly recommend Joe at Joe's Guitar Shop.
