“Guitar lovers everywhere should visit 812 Guitars to have Chris service and maintain their instruments! He is truly a master, and someone who GETS IT!! He loves guitars, and it is apparent in his work, and in his words. A rare gem of craftsmanship in our modern world. He immediately picked up the issues w my acoustic 12 String, and my son's hollow body electric, and another son's bass.....awesome master craftsman!!”

“I dropped off my 25+ year old Telecaster for some repairs and set up work. Chris did a fantastic job, making the guitar sound and feel like the day I took it home. He's very responsive and does great work at very fair prices. I'll be bringing the rest of my guitars to Chris for all of the work I'll need!”
