A few of my happy customers

"I have been so impressed with the setup and pickup swap Bryan did on two of my guitars I brought him 2 more and I have been very happy with the result. He is very reasonably priced and does top quality work fast. Highly recommend."

- Mike Dockstader

"I’ve bought multiple guitars from Bryan. His work is outstanding! The playability of these guitars is top notch! Smooth action and set up just the way I like them. Would definitely recommend!!"

- Brady Coleman

"Bryan was so fast and his prices were extremely good. I had called Taylor to do the repairs but they were charging way too much. My guitar needed an intense repair. They had to rip off the bridge, steam the top of it and possibly reglue the bracing then sand and glue everything back on and string it up! It looks awesome and it sounds phenomenal!"

- Caitlin Vinu

"Bryan is quickly becoming my go-to guy for instrument work. He's set up a few guitars for me and recently installed a pickup in my Dobro, which was new territory for both of us. He handled the installation, and any troubleshooting that went with it, like a pro! Thanks Bryan!"

- Grizzly Goat

"Bryan is seriously the best tech in Utah and the only one I'll ever use here again! I took my Gibson SG 61 reissue to another shop prior to bringing it to Bryan for a setup...primarily because it was buzzing on the low E and had some dead spots. The other shop said they couldn't fix my guitar and said I needed to send it to Gibson for a neck reset... which would have cost big bucks.. almost as much as I paid for the guitar used. I was very stressed about this as you can imagine. Luckily I had Bryan look at it and he was of the opinion that the neck was fine and convinced he could get my guitar back to proper working order. He did a complete set up, fret level, crown work, etc for a reasonable price and got my guitar sounding and playing better than ever before. He literally saved me the big bucks!!! I absolutely recommend Bryan!!! 10 plus stars!!!"

Why Is It So Hard to Find a Good Guitar Setup in Utah?

If you're here, good chances are you've taken your guitar to a big-box music store or a random shop in Salt Lake City for a "setup." You pay $100+, wait two weeks, and when you finally get it back...

Stop Fighting Your Guitar: The Real Value of a Pro Setup in Utah

You just bought a brand-new guitar. Maybe it came from a big-box store, or maybe it arrived in a cardboard box from an online retailer. It looks beautiful, but when you play a barre chord at the first fret, your hand cramps. When you solo high up the neck, the notes die out. You might think, "I just need to practice more."
