Setup and Repairs Classical Guitar - Acoustic Guitars - Electric Guitars Setup for Classical Guitars - Acoustic Guitars - Electric Guitars (includes any or all of the following as required and is priced accordingly) Savage Classical Guitar Gallery Before I bore you with the numerous details of what I do, your guitar will be photographed, front and back, highlighting problem areas and for an in-general examination, so that you and I both are aware of any existing damage to your guitar. I will probably perform a sketch as well, much like a car rental program, where areas will be highlighted and remarked, regarding damages to your guitar. This, so no one comes back at me, saying, "Hey, that wasn't on my guitar"! This has actually happened on a couple of rare occasions. OK, moving on...Ryan O'Rourke is my acoustic and electric specialist, where I focus more on acoustic and obviously classical guitars. Please note that my gallery and Savage Classical Guitar are a high end dealer of fine classical guitars - Acoustic Steel Strings (luthier made) and Electric Guitars (vintage and otherwise). We do not deal in any guitars that you would find at Guitar Center, in general. I refer people to them and they to me. LOL We do things by appointment only. Simply, you want to be certain I am there for you.
