Jason,
I fell in love all over again, and I cannot thank you enough!!!
As a working musician, my guitar is my most valuable tool; recently, I had some new strings put on, and ‘Love,’ my Breedlove A/E, was not the same. Thankfully I happened to be recording my demo CD at Sound Shed Studios in Cedar Park, TX because Matt Alvarez (my engineer/producer/friend) told me to take her to see you.
When we came for the appointment, you looked at Love while you talked to me about how I play, and then you explained EXACTLY what needed to be done and WHY. Not only was it the exact opposite of all the other advice I had been given, it actually made perfect sense.
I left her in your capable hands with zero concern and waited for you to work your magic. Several days later, you called me and said she was ready to go, but you wanted me to make sure I came with time to spare so we could make sure all was as it needed to be (something I think is very awesome, since I have never had any other work done anywhere where they actually wanted to do that…it’s usually pay and go).
We talked, and you watched me play and then gave me an impromptu mini-lesson! I came home and was able to play for several hours without any of the wrist fatigue I had been experiencing!
The work you did, the new strings chosen especially for my open tuning, the tips you gave me, and the genuine care and concern for me and my guitar are all what I would consider to be ‘above and beyond’ my expectations, which were already very high based on Matt’s opinion of you.
I am going back into the studio to work on my full-length CD, and I am more excited than ever! I can’t wait for Matt to hear the difference in the way Love sounds!! I am also very excited at the prospect of beginning my lessons with you that I may become the player my guitar deserves!
Thank you so much!!!
