About Me

Over 30 years experience

Welcome to the Colonels’ guitar ranch. We are a full service repair and custom shop for all makes of guitars. From something as a simple re-string all the way to neck resets and custom fabrication I offer a wide range of services. I am here to serve the needs of the everyday working musicians as well as students and those who play for the love of music. What sets us apart is our outstanding customer service and flexible scheduling. Coming from out of town? Call ahead for our while you wait service. Got a Saturday night gig and your guitar goes south on you? Call me even if outside our normal hours. If I can help you I will.

I have over 30 years experience in guitar repair and mods. I have worked for some of central Indiana’s leading music stores and also as an independent luthier. For the last seven years I have worked for Bloomington’s largest guitar retailer. I am a factory authorized technician for both Taylor and Fender guitars. Unlike most luthiers I have chosen to specialize in repairs and custom work and have developed a well rounded and wide variety of repair skills. Although I am currently developing a prototype guitar, my main focus will continue to be providing quality repair and custom work for reasonable prices. I have developed a large clientele here in the Bloomington area through excellent customer service and quality work. Ask around and you will probably find someone who will recommend “The Colonel”. Give me a call or shoot me an email. I look forward to meeting you.
