For the present Ed Beaver Guitars is in transition. I am no longer at Soundcheck, the location I was in for several years. The shop is still open and services are being provided there. As information becomes pertinent, I will post it.
Meanwhile, my contact information is as noted above. I am still repairing and building instruments. At your service. |

- A guy walks into the shop. He looks concerned and asks, "How do I make my guitar sound better?".

Response? ................... Lessons. He didn't get it.

A guy walks into the shop and asks, "Do you install that new thing that makes the guitar play in tune up and down the neck.
-
Response?................ "Did Chet Atkins, Lenny Breau or Les Paul have it? No?When you are that good, come back and ask again".

Advice:
- In essence,the final effort to make a guitar play well is in the player. I have a customer whose response is to look for what is wrong. He has issues. All the players whom I admire usually look for the good and then we talk about tweaks. Sometimes, a guitar actually acts like wood and steel with equal tempered tuning. Perfection is in the heart first, then the hands, not the instrument. If you want preciseness, consider being a digital keyboard player. If you really want to be exact, consider playing alone a lot.
