  • HAVE YOUR GUITARS SET UP BY A MASTER! I could have just said to have it setup. String height, intonation, fret job. But I have had mine done by masters and by people who just claim to know how to do a setup. The difference is staggering. My guitar (master) knows what I like. He knows how I play. He knows I use 9 gauge strings. He knows how I like my nut filed. He makes it all work. When he retires, I will be a very sad guitar guy.

    I've been servicing my acoustic and electric guitars with Misha  for more than 10 years by now. I am very pleased with quality of Misha's work.  My guitars always sound great and are joy to play. Misha's luthier skills are second to none.  I highly recommend Misha!

  • I have been trusting Misha with my instruments for over 15 years. Most of the instruments I bring to him are rare Mexican instruments, and old guitars, including a 1890 European Parlour Guitar. He always does excellent work, whether it’s repairing an instrument, installing a pick-up or simply doing a set-up. His is prompt and reasonably priced. I highly recommend him. www.paperboys.com www.locarnomusic.com

Every time a Guitar comes back to me after He's worked on it...that Instrument is more Beautiful than ever before...in every way possible!!

  • I have had 2 fabulous guitars with Brazilian rosewood; one is a Bill Lewis nylon the other is a Gurian steel string.  Both of these incurred airplane mishandling - 6 months apart! Misha repaired a 24 inch crack in one and a 26 inch in the other. You would be hard pressed to find either of the original cracks. Misha has also done setups, intonation, fret dressing & trust rod adjustments to my Bourgeois OM & mandola. His prices are always fair and my instrument always comes back looking better as a result of a unique French polish he uses.  I've had various people set up or repair my valued instruments over the years, several good ones, but I think Misha is the best as I trust him with my instruments.  I highly recommend him.
