The Pros
Chuck does wonderful work and it shows. He treats any instrument he works on like it was his own. He has made both my Gibson Les Pauls an absolute joy to play. If you want to experience the true potential of your instrument, take it to Chuck.
-Lew Levy
Chuck is simply at the top of a very short list of meticulous luthiers and repair people
-Steve Bailey Sr.
My band plays hard and leaves it all on the stage. I can't screw around with repairs. That's why everything I have goes through Chuck's shop. Not having to worry about my gigging guitars is very important to me. Black Cat Road depends on me to bring it. And I depend on Chuck. Nuff said.
ps...ask to see one of his builds while you're there, there absolutely stunning.
-Bob Thompson

Thank you Chuck, for treating my instruments like they were your own!
