TOO MUCH FUN... If you're considering getting your guitar(s) fixed, set-up or just tweaked, now's the time. When the weather evens out like this, so do most guitars. It's the changing of the seasons that really throw guitars off, and they don't always come back to life the way they once were. That's why this time of year, we generally do lots of repair project guitars. The shop is a bit slower as we work our way towards the summer, so NOW is a great time to get that work done.

About four years ago, when we moved into this building, Luke, who was going to school in Boston, was one of a few people who helped move us from Barnstorm Music to this location. He not only helped us move in, he took over the task of texting all our countless customers to tell them where our new location was.

A SYMBIOSIS HAD OCCURRED....
Luke had unofficially become our first GUITARTEC REPAIR intern and really helped out here in ways too difficult to explain. Even though the shop wasn't nutty busy in the beginning, the emotional support of having someone else show up daily will never be forgotten.

Luke has finished school now and has moved onto a paying career, but he still comes by from time to time.

The last time he came in, he brought his new Charvel guitar in to be set-up. Now he's finally got a good player!

I totally thank Luke for all his help, dedication and friendship. Now take out the trash and vacuum... hurry up!

I HAVE NO EXCUSE WHATSOEVER, cept this.......

Most of my postings here on the GUITARTEC REPAIR Facebook page are dictated in the wee hours of morning only for me to come home at night and see my computer's spell checker was more asleep than I was.

Furthermore, the font size ion my puter is so small that I have to stick my sleepy face in my 24 inch screen just to see it. Increasing the font size of my screen's text refuses to change it for some reason, so I cannot see my mistakes easily. Thank you Apple and Facebook.

Due to all this gobbledygook, my initial postings are generally laced with fairly normal mistakes from spelling, punctuation and context issues until I can edit them the following night. The fact that it's already posted forces me to correct and often rewrite my postings. I'm not great at this, but I am embarrassed when I see how many mistakes there actually are in any of my posts that I initially thought were pretty OK.

Please allow these mistakes to get corrected over time before thinking l don't care about my writings. Often, I will add to a post or rewrite something entirely to be more clear or say something in a better way, so if you like a post, check in on it after a few weeks to see edits and adds to it.

DO YOU HAVE A SENTIMENTAL GUITAR THAT YOU WANT TO GET UP TO S***F? Every year I get to work on many guitars that were handed down from a family member who passed, or in this case, a guitar that was given to a spouse when they first joined in holy matrimony. This red Samick Strat has sentimental memories for this couple.

MY WATCHMAKING CAREER NEVER TOOK OFF, BUT IT GAVE ME SOME THINGS TO REALLY THINK ABOUT.

As a child, I had always loved taking apart broken watches. The miniature and micro parts seemed to be from some other planet. I was fascinated that human beings could make these micro parts that I could barely even see. I even bought a basic microscope just so I could see the threads on some of the screws. The detail was amazing!

Jump ahead 35 years, and in 05, I started taking a watchmaking course online. This online course was the very basics of watchmaking and gave me a certificate that allowed me to do only the basics like changing batteries, straps and crystals. The watchmaking course had a large section about watches that are sentimental, and why I am to turn these watches away at this point in my budding carrer and let the more experienced watchmakers do this work. It really hit home with me as I have lots of sentimental guitars, watches and other items myself.

Seeing this in writing made me realize how important sentiment can be and what it can mean to someone to acknowledge this before working on their axe OR turning the work down in order to get it to someone with more focus on a perticular type of repair.

This understanding made it ok to include this into my business model and gave me more confidence to give every guitar I do take on my all because I now assume EVERY guitar is special to someone, somewhere, even if the quality or price of the instrument isn't high.

Sentiment means a lot to me and so will your guitar. This red Samick Strat I'm doing our Pro Fret Dressing and Pro Set-up is such a guitar.

This is the can of Bux Dri-Slide that Eddie Van Halen gave to Mike for lubricating his trem screws and fulcrum points. It's now at our shop permanently for safe keeping and display. If anyone would like to see it, just ask.

Ok, as promised... here's some pics from the EVH Guitar Tech event we just had on Saturday. Lots of free giveaways from Mike's time working with Eddie & Nuno, from Ed's guitar picks, band promo pics and back stage passes were there for the taking. Although the pics don't show it, the place was at full capacity. People stayed for hours. There was free food and drink too. Many people came by and much fun was had by everyone. WHAT AN AWESOME EVENT!!! In fact, it was so much fun, we're going to do it again this winter. Let me know if you wanna meet Eddie Van Halen's Guitar Tech and hear great stories. Thanks to my brother Keith for taking pics and to Dave K. for holding down the fort and getting the pizzas. Special thanks to Mike Keegan for being there and being a good friend since my early days at E-U. Wurlitzer Music & Sound

YOU can meet the man that kept Ed's world class rig going. This is not some little chore.... it's HISTORY and Mike was a part of it.

Eddie considered Mike "part of the family" which, as many know, wasn't even graced to every VH band member. Meet the humble man Ed trusted with his secret rig for years. Hear the stories from inside. Get questions answered. Bump fists and just say Hi to Mike. DON'T MISS THIS!!!
