Miles is very knowledgeable and not afraid to teach while he works. He is very friendly and charges a reasonable price. You can absolutely tell his passion for guitars and repair by his attention to detail and going the extra mile to get things up to snuff. Much appreciated to have visited a professional!
Miles sets a standard of workmanship rarely achieved by most. The pleasure I've seen experienced by those picking up their instruments is a joy to behold.
I pulled up to the building and it was clear that the owner was in the middle of a move. I had with me three guitars - 2 main ones and a kicker. The first question he asked me was "are you a pro or hobbyist?" I said "pro, i'll need these back in 1-2 weeks for a tour". Well, Miles (the owner) beat that by setting up and troubleshooting the guitars right then and there. He did exactly what I asked and challenged me when I gave him vague answers like "gauge doesn't matter" or "just set it up", prompting me for a more definitive answer.
In the end, he showed me a few things about guitar repair and charged a reasonable amount for his work. Gotta say, I can usually trust the guys that have been doing this type of work their whole lives for an honest and sound job and Miles did just that.
