I ended up buying a guitar that needed more work than the online listing let on. With it being my first floating trem guitar, I knew I was going to need the help of a talented luthier to get it sounding like it should. Thankfully Rick was available to assess and address the issues! He was kind enough to take the time to explain anything and everything I had questions about, and did a phenomenal job with the repairs.
Beyond the outstanding and very reasonably priced work, you can tell Rick loves guitars just by chatting with him. That kind of passion can’t be faked and was a joy to experience! I’ve been to a few luthiers over my hobbyist “career” but Celestial is the one I’ll actually be returning to for any and all future projects. Worth a visit and a chat for sure!
