About US
My name is Clayton, Originally from the Hudson Valley in New York, my journey with guitars began long before I moved to Florida in 2000. I also lived outside of Philadelphia, and to this day, I continue to proudly serve clients in both New York and Philadelphia alongside my work in Florida.
With decades of experience and thousands of guitar repairs completed, my passion for bringing instruments back to life remains as strong as ever. From detailed fret work to full restorations, I approach every guitar with the same dedication, precision, and energy I had on day one.
Over the years, I have worked with several musicians ranging from local artists to well-known professionals and session musicians.
Whether you’re a touring guitarist, a recording artist, or a passionate player at home, my goal is to ensure your instrument performs at its absolute best.
