Professional Stringed Instrument Repairs

---

My first guitar was a Les Paul Junior, that was 45 years ago. Oh, how I wish I had it now. My motivation for the guitar was simply to write songs. I never really spent enough time honing my craft to be considered a great guitar player, though I am blessed to have played with several great Texas Musicians like Ben Basden, Joel Nelson, Chance Hendrix, Brett Hendrix, Michael Taylor, Red Rogers, Maxx Carter, Weston Smith, Chris Judice, Bill Hunter, Patrick Kelly, Rodney Pyeatt, JW Riza and good friend Dow Ferguson, from The Lutherie, who has been a great encouragement to me.

So when drive and desire show up in your life, my suggestion is to simply thank God, latch on and give it all you’ve got! That is what is happening with Loves Guitar Repair. For the first time in my life, I’m smiling on the way to work, excited about helping people, players and collectors by tending to their guitars. My desire is to lift every stringed instrument that crosses my bench to its proper station, giving the instrument life so it can be all it was intended to be. 

Considering myself a lifelong student, I chose to partner with the best and enrolled at Southeast Guitar Repair Academy to sharpen my skills. Under the tutelage of Barrett Culpepper, Master Luthier (and company), I now walk the path to becoming the best master luthier in Texas. Southeast Guitar Repair Academy fields an all-star team with more than 60 years combined experience. If you want the best, Loves Guitar Repair is your next call.

We love our customers and we love Guitars.

Seems God has blessed me with an endeavor that will allow me to finish well, working as a luthier. It is always my pleasure to have a conversation with anybody who loves guitars. 

Loves Guitar Repair gives life to stringed instruments and joy to our customers.

I’m a very blessed husband, a proud dad and extra proud Paw Paw and your friend. God is good!
