Great communication, wonderful work, excellent person

Ken took on my basket case of a vintage les Paul special and ably performed some pretty detailed work – he added a headstock veneer (the old one had been removed long ago), refinished the neck, and cut a new nut. Great quality work and a stand up guy to work with. Highly recommend.

Most Excellent!

Anchor Guitar Works is the place to go for all your guitar repair needs. Ken does phenomenal work and I am super happy with the job he did on my strat! He did a full re-fret and added a few other things to my guitar. He has a great turnaround time and he’s just a cool guy. I trust Ken with any of my instruments. Finally a guy that you can take your guitars too!!

Awesome!

Ken did an amazing job on my Fender Vintera 60s Jaguar! Seriously, playability is vastly improved, and tonal quality is fantastic. Everything feels super comfortable, and overall intonation is more solid, even with the new strings. Feels like a different guitar!

An ever-evolving pedalboard, and a new Anchor Guitar Works, Bird of Prey guitar in the distance, this iteration has a newly worked aged maple neck. Seymour Duncan Quarter Pound pickup in the bridge and a P-Rails in the bridge position. All sorts of custom switching and tonal possibilities. It absolutely rips. #tele #seymourduncan #hipshottuners #ctspotentiometers #tesiswitch #evhgear #line6 #eventideh9 #jacksonaudio #origineffects #strymonelcapistan #mxrpedals #tcelectronic #disasterareadesigns #jhspedals #bosspedals #orangeamps #hartkeamps

Playing the double bass in orchestra is paying off in so many ways for Ash. He's transitioning to the electric bass very naturally and is talking about wanting to take bass lessons! Excited for his musical discoveries! Love to just see him want to sit down with an instrument and just noodle around by himself. #bassguitar
