What an amazing find right here in Temple TX! I truly cannot say enough great things about Dirk and the work he did on my guitars. I brought him two... one just needed a standard tuneup and new strings. The other was a Taylor Mini Koa Wood that had been dropped, and the wood cracked on the very edge of the guitar. Dirk did a simply beautiful repair on it - I cannot even tell it was ever damaged. PLUS - he did a wonderful tune-up with new strings/lower action. The repairs were done fast and the price was fair. Both of my guitars came back sounding great and looking like new - could not be happier!

I always assumed I just had to live with the limitations of my lower end guitars. So when I bought a new Epiphone Casino online for $600, I wasn’t expecting the finest quality instrument. Even so, I was disappointed by the tuning and intonation and I supposed I’d gotten what I paid for. I’d never had a professional setup before and, after searching around online, I ran across Loves Guitar Repair. I read dozens of superlative reviews and decided to set up an appointment. I’m so glad I did! In addition to the setup, Dirk put on some upgraded tuning heads and a bone nut.

(John, Paul and George all played a Casino 😬) Dirk’s pricing is fair and well worth the investment. I’m looking forward to seeing what he can do with an old Gretsch that’s been gathering dust on my wall!

Dirk worked on my two Rickenbacker guitars. He made both of them look and play like brand new. He answered all my questions with great patience. Both guitars are such a joy to play again. I highly recommend him!
