WHAT WE WON'T DO
An honest shop tells you no. We turn down work that hurts your instrument or your wallet:
Modifications that destroy vintage value
Modifications that compromise structural integrity
Mods you'll regret in 6 months
Chris will tell you before you pay for one.
How It Starts
THE CONSULTATION PROCESS
Every mod starts with a conversation. Chris tells you what will work, what won't, and what will actually improve your playing experience versus what's just YouTube-inspired.
