  • "Great service. Fantastic work. Super nice guy. Very knowledgeable. Definitely recommend for any guitar setup/service."

    —Charles Cholette

  • "Beautiful work done here ! My guitar feels excellent. Great communication, clean workspace, and a very knowledgeable luthier."

    —Alex Aristides

  • "For months, I was taking my guitar to multiple luthiers, stores, etc., trying to resolve many issues that it was having due to improper pickup installation and setup issues. I met Anatoly at the school where I teach. Before rehearsal, I was talking to someone about the issues that I was having with my guitar. Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed him raise his eyebrows, then walk over to me and say, "I can fix that." He took my guitar, for free, and fixed every issue the guitar had. His attention to knowledge and attention to detail is second to none, with people I have used before him. But what is even better than his ability is the person he is. To me, that is just as important, if not more, than the skill/knowledge of repairing and fixing instruments. In other words, you can trust him and the work he does, and it will be perfect when you get it back the first time. Nobody else will touch my instruments other than him, and anyone would be wise to use him for whatever need they have with their guitar."

    —Jason Powers

  • "Anatoly was great! Very detailed oriented and explained everything that was needed and gave me great options to get my guitar back into better playing shape!"

    —Mark Morgan

  • "I purchased a beautiful Ovation 12 string Elite that had a defective pre amp. I was referred to Anatoly to see if it could be repaired. Anatoly was able to replace the pre amp and repair it!!!! I am truly grateful. I appreciate the time and care he took. Thank you ! I highly recommend him for all your guitar repairs. I am in the biz and will definitely spread the word."
