Long Island Guitar Repair

Howard Emerson

My main flat top acoustic guitar, a custom made 2005 David Flammang L-40, has needed fret work for over 2 years, but you know how that goes: You don't want to be without it for more than a few days, right?? I happened upon Mike Christian's Long Island Guitar Repair via a Google search, although I've long been aware of Mike's work with acoustic pickups, etc. After reading his web site copy, looking at pictures, etc. I decided to give him a try, and it turned out to be a good choice. I ordered the Dunlop Jumbo 6100 wire pack from Amazon, Mike called when he received his fret tang nipper, and we made an appointment. The partial refret (first 8 frets) on my Flammang is virtually invisible, except that I have the old frets as proof. No chip-out, ends beveled like the existing frets, etc. Clean work, yes, but I was only without my guitar for 4 days! Very clean work, great communication & understanding of what was expected, and a fair price. Highly recommended. Howard Emerson Huntington Station, NY howardemerson.com

Mike is friendly, professional, and obviously expert at his craft. He found a major problem with my Maton guitar within minutes of giving it a once over. Mike answered the phone when I first called, figured out what I needed, gave me a reasonable quote, did the repairs and restrung my guitar as promised and on time. I will be calling Mike for any of my future guitar needs.

Best set up on my vintage Tokai - brought it to perfection - it sings again! Mike is obviously a prodigy at working on guitars. Very cool. Will be coming back.

I initially brought one of my guitars to a person who did an excellent job, however he relocated Florida recently. While researching for another person, i came upon Mike's website and read the numerous reviews posted. Each review seemed better than the one before. I reached out to Mike and made an appointment for a set up. Mike was friendly, professional and took the time to explain his process, along with the fees (that were quite reasonable). Within a couple of days, i picked up my Fender Telecaster, and it played like nobodies business. I've since had one of my semi hollow electrics set up with the same excellent results. Mike is a true professional and very helpful in providing many tips that come in handy. If you don't need something, Mike will tell you just that, rather than needlessly take you $ for something you don't need. HIs love for the instrument is indicative of the work he puts into each guitar he works on.
