GET YOUR GUITAR SET UP RIGHT

A great guitar setup is about more than measurements. It's about how an instrument feels, responds, and sounds in your hands.

After decades performing, recording, and teaching in New York, Los Angeles, and beyond, I've learned how much the relationship between a musician and their instrument matters.

At Cape Cod Guitar Shop, I bring that perspective to every guitar I work on—combining careful adjustments with an understanding of what musicians actually need from their instruments.

Whether you're getting ready for a gig, rediscovering an old favorite, or picking up your first guitar, my goal is simple: to help you enjoy playing it.
