Ted is a great guy. I needed some pickup wiring fixed and he graciously got it done for me very quickly. He didn’t require a full setup if he looked at it like SOME require...his quote was $10 less than what another local “luthier” quoted me just for the required setup. Ted understood my request and did a bang up job. This was the last time I’ve seen Ted. I had him do a setup for me when he worked at a previous shop. Highly recommend this man.

I had my guitar set up by Ted. He did a fantastic job finding a few issues with my guitar that I didnt even realize I was having and fixed them beyond my expectations. I couldnt be happier with the service and the quality of the work.

I had called him to set up appointment on the following day to drop off all my guitar parts for an assembly and set-up. I took off of work, drove 20 minutes, and showed up at his location to a locked door. I had texted, called and no answer. I have left a message with never a return call. I have no clue what happened but he was a complete waste of time to me.Updated 1-2021. Ted confronted me about this review and was very apologetic about him missing communication with me. He has since done everything possible to remedy this situation, built my sons custom guitar, and charged me a fair price. I would not hesitate to use him again and we are very pleased with his work. Thanks

Ted is awesome. I’ve taken gear everywhere in town over the past 15 years. The service I received was the quickest turnaround and most competitively priced. His work is top notch. Best in town, can not recommend enough.

Very Professional Expert! Brought in a vintage guitar that was purchased online. Was afraid my purchase was a complete mistake. Ted was able to get it sounding great, affordable and while I waited. Won’t hesitate to go back! Thanks!

For those of you who dont know, this is a small repair shop inside the Bradford and Frankze fret shop. The price for work is unmatched, especially compared to the big named guitar shops. On top of all of that, support your local business. Theyre good people!!

Botched the refret on my 1954 Gibson. Frets not seated properly, guitar came home buzzing terribly. Mass Street Music said the frets were uneven. Ted felt justified keeping my money because he wanted the opportunity to “learn from his mistakes”. I didn’t feel comfortable taking the guitar back to him, and so he kept my money. And I’m having to have the guitar completely refretted again. Hopefully someone will read this and avoid making the same mistake.

I have utilized the services of at least 5 luthiers over the years and Ted is certainly one of the best, he has repaired a ‘66 P-bass, ‘65 Martin D-35, and a Mesa Boogie Mk 3 for me and is currently working on wiring up the pickups on a junky Hohner steinberger so I can have something in slide tuning that I don’t worry about leaving out. His work is high quality, very reasonably priced, and fast turnaround. He has experience with instruments that I will never be able to afford so I am confident that he is able to get every bit of sonic performance out of anything I bring him, he is patient and does not assume what the customer wants, but rather is curious enough to ask the right to questions to make sure he understands what the customer is needing done. Acoustic, electric, amplifiers, Very Highly Recommended!

Fantastic work, absolutely fair price, friendly and informative.

Great work highly recommend
