I spent years guitar-teching at Ring Music in downtown Toronto - the repair/set-up shop for Lightfoot, Cockburn, Springsteen, Lifeson...

I now provide top quality instrument repair, modding and upgrading services out of my recording studio and shop at Bloor and Ossington.

If you've got something you'd like to work on, or would like to talk shop, give me a holler.
