Been to Walt's shop a few times with different jobs. Every single one 150% of satisfaction. He used to live a few blocks from me and has since moved. Now I have a strat to refret, and will undoubtedly be taking it to Walt when I get a chance. You can trust his experience and knowledge with eyes closed.

Walt is a guitar wizard!! He has repaired dead spots on one of my guitar's fretboard. His setups are always spot on. His attention to details are awesome. Fast and spot on service. Solder joints on new pickup change outs are professional and clean. Great luthier.

A big thank you to Walt for his help in setting up my guitars!After many years of dormancy, I was wanting to get back to playing again. But given that I hadn't touched them in so long, I was a little apprehensive and needing the kind of peace of mind that everything was good with the guitars along with a set up service.A quick Google search showed Walt's repair shop at the top of the list and after reading so many positive reviews (and a big shout-out to the other reviewers as that was what brought me here), I set up a time to drop off my guitars. I picked them up the next day and Walt took me through some of what he found/adjusted/fixed and they sound wonderful!My dad also ended up having Walt look at his acoustic guitar, which Walt was able to service right then and there.I highly recommend and encourage anyone needing guitar services to do so with Walt. Trust and peace of mind are hard to come by, but you will find that with Walt.

Quick and easy service on my telecaster, including a setup and full rewire, sounds much better now!

Was visiting Maryland to see family and thought I’d find someone locally who could change my Traveler guitar strings. Did a web search and Walt Johns came up and was rated 5-stars. Called him this morning and he was able to accommodate me at noon. Great service! He even repaired damage to the edge of the guitar all while I waited! Thanks Walt!

Walt is just a great musician and top notch guitar tech. I have trusted him with setting up, repairing, and modifying my valuable guitars for many years now! Do yourself a great favor and contact him first! He will provide professional service at a reasonable price and knows and can refer you, when necessary, to other valuable and trusted resources to meet all of your other musical needs!

Very professional, reasonable charges, quick service. Walt has worked on many of my guitars over the years, everything from simple setups to helping get a 'problem' guitar into playable condition. Today he performed a great upgrade/mod on my '52 reissue Telecaster, installing a 4-position switch and rewiring the pickups. Polite, attentive, careful service, for a reasonable cost (almost too cheap!), in under an hour. Highest recommendation.
