NOTE: all electronics pricing assumes the guitar to be routed and previously prepared for said electronics and wiring! Adding pickups or electronics to a guitar which will require routing cavities or drilling/chiseling/augering/jackhammering/vivisectionizing, etc., will be price-negotiable and generally proportioned to the value of the instrument. That is to say: If you have something cheap or cosmetically inconsequential you want me to hack up, fine. I'll do it for a reasonable fee. But if you have something unique, vintage, or very expensive I'll either send you down south to someone reputable or it's really gonna cost you.

I've teamed up with several other repairmen & businesses to provide high quality repairs to the Dayton area:
Chris Ivan Audio
(Vintage tube-amp / microphone / recording gear repair - Dayton)

United Lutherie
(Vintage guitar repair - Athens)

I've recently added
Fab Gear Drums & Music to my pool of musician services in Dayton, Ohio. He doesn't do repairs, but supplies lots of drum replacement parts through his ebay store.

Lastly, I'm proud to include
TWISTER AMPS
(Handmade / Boutique Tube Amps / Tube Amp Repair - Dayton) to my list of references. These tube amps are built right here in Dayton, Ohio and are true boutique quality for a fraction of the cost.
Did I mention they spank the $#!+ out of just about everything?!

And I can't forget my good friends at Centerville Music, one of the largest PRS dealers in the universe.
