Guitar Remedy

Paul did a great job, fast turnaround! He knows his stuff. I’d definitely recommend him to any fellow musicians who needs repairs or mods to their stringed instruments.

i had paul work on my 1960’s Greco and i am amazed !!. The minute i picked it up and strapped that baby on it felt like a whole new guitar. Paul is amazing with the work that he does. His skill and craftsmanship is like no other. Not only did he give me instant information about the work i needed on my guitar but he also taught me some stuff about my guitar big props to that. Paul will be my go to guy from now on and i will definitely recommend him to all my friends. ⁵⁄₅ !

In an effort to keep this review as brief as possible, I won’t waste readers’ time by parroting all the great things others have said about Paul, with Guitar Remedy. I will emphasize Paul’s skill level and master craftsmanship. With regards to acoustic guitars, when Paul picks up any guitar, it’s as though it becomes an extension of himself, of his being. Within minutes he can assess or «evaluate» your guitar. It’s truly a pleasure to be able to still encounter and experience a true craftsman, an artisan at his trade.
However, more importantly (from a personal perspective) is Paul’s honesty, ethics and truthfulness. Those traits by themselves speak volumes about the quality of a top-​level luthier (and musician) like Paul, or any business.
The only thing that’s has been truly disturbing about doing business with Guitar Remedy, is how I somehow overlooked Paul/​Guitar Remedy all these years, especially considering that I know many folks who live in his surrounding community, including musicians (a musician friend asked «Why didn’t you ask!» … after the fact!). I’m glad that I finally «snapped» out of my RVWS (Rip Van Winkle Syndrome!) and discovered Guitar Remedy.
As hesitant as I typically am to recommend, refer or endorse services, vendors, etc. to others I can’t recommend Paul at Guitar Remedy enough. Feel safe trusting your prized instrument to Paul. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

I’ve had Paul work on 3 of my guitars over the past 5 years, and I couldn’t be happier with the work that he’s done. I always look forward to the day when I get to pick up my guitar (s) from his shop, take them home and enjoy playing an entirely superior instrument, tuned to perfection with every little detail taken into consideration. I feel like you can add $ 1,000 of value to your guitar by spending $ 150 with Paul on the tune ups. This is especially true if you happen to have a well made guitar with some unlocked potential in the action and bridge. He adjusts the action and bridge on your guitar to perfection and it makes all of the difference in the sound and playability of the instrument. He also takes extremely great care of each instrument he works on and I always get my instruments back in excellent, clean condition.
I just dropped off two more of my guitars with him today (I’m adding an LR Baggs Anthem pick up in my 12-​string Taylor) and having some tune up work done on my 6-​string Breedlove. There’s nobody else I would trust to do this work on my guitars, especially my expensive 12 string Taylor. I recently bought a Taylor 914CE and am taking it to Paul to have him check it out and give me his honest feedback on any potential tune ups.
Paul is a very honest guy and you can trust him to take good care of you and he will only tell you what you need, not what he has to sell you. I once took my guitar in there for a tune up and he played it and gave it right back to me, telling me that he could do some work on it, but that he honestly didn’t think it would be worth my money since it was already playing so well. It’s hard to find honest people like that in business these days, and I’ll always remember and respect Paul for that experience. His work is also incredibly affordable, and I feel lucky to be able to have one of the best in the world work on my instruments at such an affordable price.
I highly recommend Paul for any guitar work you need done. I promise you won’t regret it.

Guitar Remedy is the ONLY place to go to get perfect guitar work done on Your guitar!
Paul listens to you and pays attention to detail, he sets up your guitar to your liking. I’ve been to all the other places around and they are a rip off! Go see Paul and get it done right !!! Guitar Remedy the best in town!!!

Paul is great. He’s very skilled and puts a lot of time and care into his work. I own a high end Taylor and I won’t take it to just anyone. Paul is one guy I feel I can trust with it and who I know will do quality, honest work whenever I take it to him. Also, he is worth the drive. I come from Whittier to take my guitars to him. I have always been totally satisfied with the work he has done on my guitars.

I hate to sound repetitive but the truth is the truth, Paul IS a great guy and does fantastic work. I pay good money for my equipment and trust it only to the best. He takes the time to talk to you on what needs to be done. You get what you pay for and if you want the best work possible, This is the guy. Thank you Paul for your attention to detail and awesome customer service. My whole band uses him and none of us ever came back with negative comments.

I had my Martin acoustic in a gig bag while I bent down to tie my shoe and. it slung over and hit my tile floor before I could save it. It ended up having a huge crack that split badly from front to back below the sound hole and it just sounded terrible when I tried playing it. I brought it over to Paul after reading all the great reviews and he not only fixed it, he fixed it to the point where it now sounds and plays better than when I first got my guitar, I don’t know how thats even possible! The repair took about a week and was definitely affordable. Beyond that, he’s just a great guy, great guy to talk to and he even gave me some great advice on my career haha! Thanks again Paul, you’re awesome!

Paul is an excellent luthier and great guy overall. I highly recommend him to anyone needing a repair, or anyone who just purchased a new (and nice) guitar to get it set up. He also fixed an old tube amp I had, he can do it all!

I’ve taken, I don’t know, a dozen or more instruments to Paul over the years. He has set up acoustics, done warranty work on pickups, blocked tremolos, pinned bridges, and every type of fret work you can do. He is the best. Regardless of the value of your instrument, you can trust him. Sometimes there is a wait. Twice I used other repair guys for the quicker promised return, and was pissed both times. When Paul sets up a guitar I don’t even have to check it. I grab it and run, knowing he has it the way I like it…

Best guitar repair and custom shop you will every find. You can go to other places for cheaper and get cheap job or you can get it done by the best for not much more.
If you love your instrument then take care of it and have Paul work on it. You won’t be disappointed.

Paul transformed my guitar from satisfactory to AMAZING!!! I went in for a pick up to be installed and out came a guitar transformed! Thank you, Paul, for the TLC down to the littlest details I never thought could be done to make this guitar better than it was. I loved my Seagull before; now I’m in love with it and can’t wait to show off its sound to everyone. The price was awesome, too. I am a customer forever!

Paul is great — really generous with his knowledge, kind, and helpful. I had a great experience with him.

Paul is awesome, super nice, knowledgeable, flexible — there aren’t enough words to say how pleased I am with his service. I drove all the way from the west SFV to bring a guitar to him that I got off ebay and it was worth it. You can’t even tell where he repaired the «dings» and the set-​up was perfect. The sound out of this instrument is just gorgeous. Plus he’s just a really nice guy and took the time to show my son how to restring his new guitar. I thought his price was completely reasonable. Don’t go anywhere else!

Simply the best! I don’t trust anyone else with my precious 6 strings. I’ve taken at least 5 guitars here for everything from new pots to complete set ups. They play like butter afterwards.

So Calif, DO NOT GO ANYWHERE ELSE !, this guy is a true Professional at what he does, very talented, he’s been at this for a long time and knows guitars, he is certified, qualified, and he cares about what you are trying to get out of your guitar, out of your set-​up., he will take the time to watch your playing style and make sure your guitar fits your attack. He is a go the extra mile kind of guy, the kind of Luthier you would want touching your guitar! He put time in on my guitar «on the clock» and «off the clock», and even discounted the total cost. Paul cares about not only your guitar, but You too, as we discussed my physical injuries he said he would say a prayer for me… yup a nice guy. I always read reviews trying to find that diamond in the rough., well I’m letting you know, «I found it» You will be sorry if you go somewhere else like I did, I’m trying to save you time and money and hope to pass along my «good experience» to you.

I agree with the other reviews. Paul is a true pro. First he set up my Ibanez 12 string beautifully. Then I took him my Martin and he sweetened that up and cleaned the finish and got rid of the spots that I couldn’t. Then I took him my strat and he set it up sweeter than its ever been… and its been set up in 3 other places.
He’s a great guy loves what he does and it shows! You won’t be disapointed!

Brought my classical guitar and my bass guitar here and both times Paul has exceeded my expectations! Paul is a true pro. I have been elsewhere in the past and will go no where else in the future. Your guitar will thank you for its visit here.

Paul is a great guy — he not only does great work but he is personable and takes his time with you. If you need serious work done or just a regular setup — you won’t go wrong!
I have had my experiences with other OC luthiers but If you want to go somewhere where you will be remembered by name/​face even when you don’t have a $ 2000 instrument in your hand — look no where else.

Most excellent. Paul is a professional and talented luthier. Rarely do you see someone with such pride in his work. He fixed the broken headstock on my SG so you can’t even tell it was snapped. He has set up all my guitars perfectly. I can’t overstate how impressed I am. (He actually under charged me for the work/​hours he put in.)
Be advised, he will ask for 50% down payment up front, and no credit cards, so bring cash. And it will take some time, perhaps longer than predicted. But if you are patient and not in a hurry, it is well worth the wait. Quality like this doesn’t come fast. It is a little hard to find the place. Oh, and make an appointment before going.
That said, this guy is awesome!
