Best repair and setup i've ever had. Discussed with Rich what i wanted. He performed with perfection. Understood exactly what i wanted. And what he charges is very reasonable for his skill and abilities.

I sent a very expensive neck (washburn n4) 2500 miles to Richard. The people in my part of the USA, Pittsburgh Pennsylvania said it couldn't be fixed (broken truss rod). Richard made it better than new and did a ton of extra work (new frets, etc....) for less than half the price of the 1 person that said they would "try it" with no guarantees. I wish I lived closer, but I do know if I have any big issues, I'm sending it to RJW Guitar Repair.

This guy knows guitars and basses! He can make miracles happen in the case of instruments in need of repair. And if it is beyond a miracle he will let you know up front and not waste your time! I've been using Richard's luthier service for 5 years now, and have never been let down. Whether hotrodding a Mexican strat or maintaining an american tele he always takes good care of my guitars! Prior to finding Richard I had tried all the instore repair guys in the area and never got my guitars playing that well. They always seem to have too much going on to get it right. Not Richard it is the way I want it or he will make it that way!
