Misha treats his craft and every detail of his work as a legacy to his customer. I’ve gone to his workshop with damaged guitars many times, and I would dare to say they sound and feel better than they did before they got wrecked. When someone asks me if I know someone who can revive their instruments, I'm always proud to tell the about Misha. I know for sure I’ll be thanked for the intel.

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 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.
