Guitar Remedy Music Santa Ana, California 92705

Devin S says: No better place to feel welcomed, family and a truly cared for person. This is not a shop that is trying to get a ton of work and use your money to gain. They love what they do, only do what's necessary and work around your schedule if need be. Even if it's a drive or a hardship to get over there, you gotta find a way. Your instrument will sing, your experience will be grand and you find a truly humble master luthier.

Jordan C says: well I was quite impressed as I walked in, everything seemed to be kept very clean and organized. It was easy to figure out the problem with my guitar, which meant an experienced worker. Paul was a easy going guy which also made it nice. we had no problems getting stuff done and didn't  waste time on other things. After taking my guitar around to other shops to be worked on, I'm glad I stopped by Guitar Remedy. I would defiantly recommend it to others.  Jordan Carroll

scott h says: paul has been servicing / fixing / customizing my guitars for the last 16 years. always great!!! scott hill

DJ J says: Took in my Taylor with a splitting top and back. Not only was Paul able to repair it, but taught me how to prevent it from happening again. Adjusted the action lower than I thought it could go. Now it practically plays itself! I can't put the guitar down. Thanks Paul.

Ron M says: We took one of our GIbson J-160's into GR to get a tune-up. Paul went above, and beyond with his work. This guy really knows his craft. He also paid attention to the detail that WE asked him to pay attention to. We're going to call on him again, for sure. Thanks. Ron

Cass C says: Brought in a new Epiphone Dot that had controls not not correctly adjusted. Paul diagnosed and fixed it perfectly. Everything works great now, and it plays excellently!! Paul is great!

dax p says: not much more to say that others haven't excellent attention to detail extra bonus being here in north orange county as the money saved on trips to los angeles and all the logistical nightmares of such excursions are no longer an issue the shop is nice too

Tom H says: I was referred to Guitar Remedy/Paul by a friend. First impression was Wow! This guy really knows his stuff, needless to say I am very impressed with Paul. I get my guitar back this week and can't wait to hear how it sounds after a tuneup!

Keith M says: I have taken all my guitars to Paul for various reasons. From the moment I walked into his meticulously clean shop the first time several years ago to my most recent visit yesterday, Paul has never disappointed. He schedules one on one visits and listens well. He allows me, the customer, to communicate all I have to say and then he responds to all the points covered. He is very professional and a true craftsman. I have the utmost confidence in his ability to care for my gear! I recommend him to all my guitarist friends. Thanks Paul! I really enjoy suppoprting you in doing what you love to do.

Aaron P says: I will have my guitar straightened out in no time. Thank you for helping me figure out what it really needs. It was nice to see you again after working together so many years ago!

Robert L says: As always. Thanks, Paul

Val W says: I received some sound advice from Paul. Will go here again, and I recommend Guitar Remedy to anyone who needs work done on their guitar.

Steven G says: I have been playing stringed instruments for over 45 years, and have all my many new and vintage instruments serviced, repaired, and maintained exclusively by Paul. He is not only a superb craftsman, Paul is a spiritual musician, and a joy to know. Thanks Paul for taking care of all my "six-string children". Steve Glowalla

Geoffrey S says: I met Paul and The Guitar Remedy through Marc Seal from The Ultimate Guitar Show, and Paul is an absolute genius... Professional, Polite, and a Perfectionist. He did a complete set-up and some re-wiring on my '59 Fender Stratocaster Vintage Reissue, and he knew the differences down to every detail. My guitar is better than it was on the day it was new 16 years ago. I've already recommended Paul to my friends, and I can wait to bring him my Takamine. As others have said it here - and it's all true - he is amazing and I will never go anywhere else. And if that's not enough to convince you that The Guitar Remedy is THE remedy for your guitar, then the turnaround time will astound you. Trust me, you've come to the right place!

Dave N says: Before coming to Paul, I contemplated selling my Taylor to get another guitar. I brought the guitar to Paul and he noticed some flaws in the electronics and the mechanical setup. I agreed to have the guitar fixed and now I am in love with my guitar again. Paul did a wonderful job. Excellent service, quick and super friendly. I've already told all my musician friends to go to Paul. Great stuff. Thanks again, Paul!

Norm M says: Paul is the go to guy for the working guitarist in Orange County. I highly recommend him.

Joe K says: Paul is very, very good at what he does. It's either the Taylor factory direct or Paul at Guitar Remedy from now on. In fact, I think this setup is even better than the factory setup from Taylor! Great clear pick guard installation which can be very tricky to do well. Paul handled it flawlessly. As if that's not enough, Paul's a really nice guy too! My wife and I enjoyed our conversation while he took care of my guitar right there on the spot so I wouldn't have to come back for it later! Fantastic service. Highly recommended.

Rich M says: My appointment was on time and I didn't have to wait. Very professional, and having Guitar Remedy working on my guitars, I know they'll come back just singing. Plus, the security at that place is top of the line. Overall, Very happy (again) to deal with Paul and Guitar Remedy!!

Kendra M says: Working with Guitar Remedy proved was a blessing. Thanks Paul and Mike.

Michael A says: Paul, I'm so happy with my GS8 now, it sounded better plugged in and in recording. You did an iincredible job! Highly recommended! .....Michael Aggabao

Ron C says: Paul really seems to know guitars both as a technician and as someone who is sensitive to the sound of different guitars. I'm certain my guitar is going to play and sound a lot better when I get it back.

andrew d says: I have been coming to Paul for all my guitar work for close to ten years now. He has made all of my guitars, whether acoustic or electric, sound really, really good, even the knock-around practice ones. I wouldn't think of going anywhere else.

Don R says: I cannot believe how great my guitar sounds after Paul's TLC!!! I asked him to for a complete setup on my brand new Fender and perform a warranty repair too (GR is an authorized Fender repair station). I received my guitar back in shiny condition (Paul even removed the film from the pick guard!!). I was impressed with the feel of the new setup at the shop & was blown away when I had a chance to plug in. I am definitely a return customer.

Steve P says: Paul evaluated my new GC4 Taylor. He determined a small neck and action adjustment would give me the playability I was looking for. I picked up the guitar and could not be happier. Now my guitar plays as good as it sounds, Great! Thanks Paul.

Ivan Y says: I am a VERY finicky person when it comes to my basses. Paul just hit a home run with my bass. the sound is perfect. Thank you for your professional service and attention to detail. If anyone is thinking of going anywhere else to have their guitar worked on, you are really doing yourself a disservice. Guitar Remedy is great.

Scott G says: Very happy to find a capable and skilled factory trained Taylor repair guy within a short distance from my home. Paul had my electronics fixed within a week in time for a big gig and even went the extra distance to fix items he noticed were in need. No more long drives to El Cajon!

Lori Y says: I have been taking my guitars to Paul for about 15 years now and recently had a guitar built. Paul is the ONLY one I would trust to work on my guitars. When bringing them in for repairs, he doesn't usually ask me what is wrong with the guitar, he tells me what is wrong with them and what they are doing. He is ALWAYS right! He is not only an expert in guitars, he is a super business man. I WILL NEVER TAKE MY GUITARS ANYWHERE ELSE! Thanks Paul for being true to your calling.

Ron S says: Write your review· My Gretsch 5120 setup was the work of a master luthier.· It realy shows the pride you take in your work.

Keith F says: Paul did a complete setup on my Fender Deluxe Telecaster. I have been to several other guitar techs in the Southern California area and none have even come close to the setup Paul did for me. He was very personable, asked all of the right questions, and set the guitar up exactly how I wanted it. I won't ever go to anyone else.

Sam L says: Paul fixed my Taylor GS8's crack on the top that was damaged about 7 cm by physical impact. Even though there is only little mark, I don't feel any trouble or problem when I touch. I really appreciate Paul's great job. This is better than my expectation!!

Nick A says: Paul did the initial setup on my recently built custom strat. He did a stellar job and it feels/plays beautifully! Paul definitely seems to strive towards quality work and great customer satisfaction. I'm always skeptical about taking a guitar to a new tech, but I'll be going back to Guitar Remedy for sure.

Ron P says:  Thanks for the professional job and a reasonable price. I will send anyone I can to have Paul repair their instruments. Thanks again Paul.

Bill J says: I've seen no better, Paul goes above and beyond all others.

Robert L says: Paul made my old Taylor new again. Couldn't be happier.

TriskelionProAudio H says: Paul will continue to get all of our business. His service and commitment are second to none !!

Daniel H says:  So for I've just been in for the initial consultation for my 2002 Taylor714ce. I like Paul's professional attitude and you can tell he cares for his clients and their instruments. I can't wait to get my Taylor back.

Tim S says: I've been taking my basses to Paul for about 5 years now and trust him completely. He has done everything from basic setups and fret dressing to building a complete bass for me from a pile of parts. His assessments are always accurate and his work is exceptional. It's really nice to just know you have a guy that can always deal with your issues. I recommend him highly!

Eddie S says: I have a lot of mandolins and guitars - I love to collect, play, and release back into the wild... I go to Paul for ALL my repair work, upgrades, touch-ups. His workmanship is first-class, he has avery professional attitude while being the most down-to-earth guy. He is nothing short of a magician when it comes to touching up old mandolins. He has an eye for color subtleties and amazing attention to detail. Absolutely outstanding.

Anthony B says: It's no coincidence that nearly EVERY rating is 5 stars...because the quality of work, and overall experience, is fantastic. Paul doesn't ask people to write these reviews, but my guess is, that people are as thrilled with how nice their instruments sounds/plays, that the first thing they want to do is praise the man behind it. Thanks again for making my Les Paul even better than it was!

Glyn N says:  I have been taking my guitars to Paul for almost 5 years and would never think of going anywhere else to have them tweaked and tuned. I am a collector mostly and Paul has done work on about 20 of my guitars. He really takes pride in his work and always takes time to really understand what the customer wants. Thanks for everything Paul

Yuyi G says: Paul is nice and professional! I will never go anywhere else.

Mark A says: Just purchased a Fender Jumbo body and it's going to the same place my other 3 beauties have gone… Guitar Remedy. From the time you hand over your axe to the time it’s given back to you… Paul displays a pleasant smile and treats you and your axe with kindness and respect. This guy knows more than just his stuff. He knows how to appreciate a fine instrument and makes its sound better. He even makes me sound better. I’m from South OC and it’s worth the drive and the time, he takes to make an instrument sound like a “work of art”. Trust no one with your girls…Paul is your man

Tony P says: Paul gets down to business and is down to earth... although I know this world is not his home. He gets the job done, knows his stuff and is invaulable as my consultant in the instrument biz.

Jason E says: Awesome initial appointment, I can't wait to see the work on my Taylor 810ce

Omar L says: I brought my Hd28 Martin to Paul and had the complete set up service.Paul treated me like if he knew me for years and listened and advice me about my guitar.When I left his place i felt very satisfied and happy to know I have found somebody of his caliber to work on my beloved instrument.When I picked up the guitar I was seriously amazed how he set up the action, fine tuning and intonation.His work is excellent so please if you love your instrument bring it to Paul he will make it sound the way it should sound and more.Next is my 914ce taylor I cant wait.Paul thank you and god bless you and your family.Omar ledezma

Randy K says: I drive from Fontana to Santa Ana because Paul is the best. This visit he took my scratchy P-90’s and replaced them with vintage humbucking pickups that fit into the P-90 bodies – AWESOME!!! Paul is professional, kind, and does not cut corners.

Caleb W says: I drive all the way from Burbank to OC because the quality of his work is unmatched in the industry. His attention to detail is amazing, and takes great care of his clients' instruments. Paul is a great guy, awesome customer service, extremely knowledgeable, and manages a incredibly clean and well organized studio.

Bob N says: Paul, you already know how pleased I am to have met you and your skills. Today I had the privledge of receiving voice lessons from Marnie. She has a sensitive and tactful way of helping me get to where she wants me to go. It can be pretty scary and/or embarrassing to open up your pipes in front of the world (well, it felt like the world), but I didn't feel a bit of worry. You both are wonderful people and possess wonderful talents. Furthermore, your shop/studio is bitchen. I didn't want to leave! So, thank you x!000. See you soon! Bob Newmark

Billy M says: Thank you Paul for another great repair, it was great to see you and talk with you. Thank you for making the time for my small repair proving you really are here for us. I can't tell you how good it is to have a person like you in my life. God Bless

John A says: Paul is Super Cool! He gave me some great ideas on how to make the most out my guitar. The most out it's sound...the most out of it's playability and he took the time to explain why. I can't wait to play my new Martin OMJM, I'm super excited and I will definetly use Paul again in the future. He's very easy going and you can tell he loves what he does. Thanks Paul God Bless!

Ismael M says: Paul has set up all my guitars, Jazz, Classical, and Steel String. I know I can count on a first class, worry free job coming from Paul every time. His attention to detail is without question unsurpassed. Whether it is action adjustments, pickgurds, fret rework, pickups, you can always count on a finely tuned instrument when Paul is all done with it. I highly recommend his professionalism, customer service and fair prices. Ismael (Ish)

Dave M says: I am extremely satisfied with my service at Guitar Remedy! Paul is a consummate professional! My friend an I brought in two Taylor six strings and they were serviced immediately. I especially like Paul's personality and his honest expertise. I definitely be back!

paul M says: paul is a master of the craft

Ray L says: Paul brought my Martin to life. I recommend Guitar Remedy for any of your repair or set up needs. He's got the experience and will explain what needs to be done. The online appoint set up works pretty good too. Thanks

Mark C says: What a great experience - taking a guitar you love to someone for the first time on the recommendation of friends and being impressed with the quality of both customer service and workmanship. This was my first time because I had less than great experiences with other guys in the same line of work. I'm very happy to say it won't be my last time, and it is a great feeling knowing I won't have to look around for a new guy again. Thanks Paul for making a sweet guitar sweeter!

Marc B says: I gave my guitar to Paul, and even though he had much work to do before he could get to my guitar, when I finally got it back it was absolutely fantastic! Paul does amazing work and I am going to bring all my guitars to him.

Cory E says: I brought my guitar in thinking I was going to drop it off and have to come back in a week or so and within ten minutes he had it fixed and back in my hands. I was blown away!!!

cliff s says: Paul is friendly, fair, professional, and does amazing work. He got my Taylor back up and running like brand new. saved me some money in the process too :)

Caleb W says: I will never take my guitars anywhere else, despite being almost 50 miles from Paul's shop. Customer service and quality of work is top notch.

Brian W says: Paul did an amazing job on my Fender Jazz Bass-Problem solved and resolved, Great Work!!! Brian

Corky B says: I have used Guitar Remedy for many years, and have come to really appreciate Paul's meticulous eye for detail and his fine service. If you are looking for service beyond your expectations, whatever that may be, give Guitar Remedy a chance...his price is very reasonable, and his service is fantastic! Corky Burnett

Steve H says: I picked up my guitars yesterday and played them both last night. WOW! Thank you Paul. The setup on them is way better than when they were new. They look and sound awesome and they play perfectly. I'm recommending you to all my friends.

Steve H says: Paul is very knowledgeable, practical and helpful. His repair studio is very neat and well organized. The shop area was just as impressive. Maybe even more so. You can tell a lot about a craftsman by how he maintains his work space. I'm looking forward to picking up my Taylors later this week. I'll post another review after I have a chance to play them.

Dan B says: Paul has worked on at least 6 guitars of mine and every time it's perfect. He's precise, thorough and a good honest dude.

Keith M says: Every time I drop off one of my guitars with Paul I leave with the assurance that he will do exactly as we discussed and it will be done with the utmost care. He listens carefully, pays attention to every detail and has the experience as a craftsman and a musician to deliver a quality job. Thanks Paul for loving your craft!

Cameron R says: From San Bernardino to Tustin in the "storm" completely worth it!!!!!

Dan C says: Say all the good things you want about Paul's work, but it's not enough. Tell him what you want or need, and if it's possible, he'll get it done...right and the first time! I've taken 7 or 8 to him, including some brand new ones, and my only regret is that I didn't meet him sooner!

Travis G says: I had a minor repair to my Taylor Expression System, but I needed it done quickly. Paul took care of it and all the paperwork for the warranty, scheduling appointments, etc. with fantastic communication all along the way. He pays the same exacting attention to customers regardless of whether the repair is big or small.

Rich U says: After using 10 different guys in the last 20 years in OC for instrument repairs, I finally found the right one. I buy and sell a lot of instruments and have lost count of the number of vintage guitars Paul has tuned up or repaired for me. Each one has been done perfect. This is the right guy and he will take care of you. Thanks again Paul!

Angie L says: Paul's customer service is exceptional. He went the extra mile in helping me resolve & fix not only what was wrong with my Taylor, but he took the time to research & find some information out about it as well. Thanks Paul!

scott h says: Paul has been fixing / repairing / bringing my guitrs back to life since 1996. Always excellent service!

Damon D says: Being an old music veteran - I began performing in 1962 - I know the difference between reality and B.S. Paul puts his heart into every guitar he works on. I have a couple strats, a a guild acoustic bass, and two hand made 10 string "gypsy guitars" (hand crafted by Walt Kuhlman of "Gypsys", Tempe, Ariz.). The positive change in the tonality as well as ease of action, is incredible. After I took my first guitar to Guitar Remedy, the improvement was so great, I decided to take all the rest of my guitars for a 'tune up'. Today I am taking two guitars of friends to Guitar Remedy. That is all I need to say.

Ken L says: I have had Paul set up my first Taylor 314ce and everything he did surpassed my expectations. Then he modified my Fender Am Strat and without being a guitar tech myself, he was able to translate what I wanted and needed for the mod to get the tone(s) I wanted...again flawless execution and attention to detail. Finally, I just got a 2000 Taylor 814c (prior to ES) and after we discussed what I was looking for he directed me to the best acoustic pickup currently out there...the LR Baggs Anthem and I couldn't be more pleased. It makes my amplified tone sound exactly like putting a high end mic up against my sound hole! Amazing sound and tone and he installed/tweaked it perfectly just as we discussed and even took a couple extra steps to finesse and adjust to accomplish seemless aesthetics in its looks. Oh, did I mention I am left handed which makes things a bit more complicated but no problem for Paul. He is the best and I highly recommend him for his quality of work and his obvious obsession/passion for all music and the instruments that make that music alive!

Joe M says: Paul and his staff have never let me down and always goes beyond to do A++ work! I have brought countless gtrs to Paul since 1996. I have shared my passion, to not settle for less, with every player I know regarding Guitar Remedy's amazing craftsmanship and superb customer service! Paul's also a sweet Dude!!!

Dane Y says: Paul Stebner has been taking care of my beloved Jackson Charvel for over ten years. I wouldn’t trust my guitars to anyone else. Paul recently replaced all of the frets on my Charvel, and I couldn’t be happier, it plays and sounds perfect. The quality of his work is top-notch, and you won’t find an easier person to work with.

Ian B says: Like I tell everyone, Paul is the only person I'll take my guitars to if it's a problem I can't fix myself. Knowledgeable, compassionate, quality work. A true artist.

Oscar R says: It was my first time getting any kind of proffesional work on my american fender jazz bass and luckily it all worked out.Paul gives great customer service and listens to everything you have to say.His prices are good and does an amazaing job.He made me fall in love with my bass once again with the amazing basic setup he did.He definitely has a client now and will be taking my stuff with him whever i have a problem.I recommend him to anyone

Jamie L says: No doubt that there are others who are as good as Paul. I have no idea where they are as Paul has been caring for my guitars for 20 years. First off, he is a quality human being with solid core values. He has always listened as carefully to me as I have to him. Any of his customers would vouch for that. No matter what the value of any given instrument, inexpensive to $$$$$, he just can't not do a a great job. He can't help it. It's one of his God given gifts. What he has always done for me is make my guitars be the best they can be. He never trys to make an instrument into something it's not. If you're not happy with your guitar after Paul has serviced it, sell it and look for another. It is also my great pleasure to call Paul one of my best friends. This is of more value to me than any guitar. God's continued Blessings, Jamie

Doug F says: Paul has been working on my guitars and bass for many years now. I first discovered Paul when I purchased a discounted Gretsch at Guitar Center. The guitar was brand new, but had been in the store for some time, and was not in great shape (for a new guitar). I don't remember how I found Paul, but I had tried a few other guitar technicians, and wasn't impressed with any of them (they called me dude, and bro, smelled like cigarettes, and didn't bother to make recomendations as the subject matter expert). It seemed as though they cared more about $, then my guitar(s). I've got a lot invested in my collection, and it's important to me that they are cared for properly. When I took the Gretsch in (expecting to pay quite a bit to bring it back to life), Paul suggested that he could complete most of the work under warranty, and saved me quite a bit of money. In addition to caring about me and my guitars, Paul is a quality person that truly cares about doing the right thing. His work is perfect, and my guitars look and play better than the day I bought them. Paul recently put a pick up in my Gibson J180 Everly acoustic, and it plays and sounds perfect. With all the great work that Paul has done on my collection, I think the biggest reason that I keep going back (and have referred all of the guys in my band), is because Paul is a really nice guy that runs a quality business, and does professional work at reasonable rates. Take all of your guitars to Paul, and you won't believe how great they look, sound, and play.

Trevor G says: Great guy. Great work. Spends the time to discuss any issues you are having. Been taking my guitars to him for years. Thanks Paul.

Blake O says: I took my guitar in yesterday to get a crack repair, and all I gotta say is Paul Stebner is the man! Haven't gotten my guitar back yet but just from meeting with him and talking to him, I know he is going to do a KILLER job!! He is a totally friendly, down to earth guy, the kind of guy that makes you want to bring more guitars into him!

Jeff N says: All the reviews above completely express my experience with Paul...Amazingly talented!! I used Paul to do some work done recently on my beloved relic strat, and I can honestly say it is the finest, most true set-up I have ever had!! In addition to the fine, detailed work he performed, his business is set up incredibly professionally and efficiently....the appointment was scheduled, I received an email reminder, a follow-up email, and my turn around time was excellent. Thank you so much Paul, you will receive all of my work, and my referals in the future!!

Billy M says: What can i say the work you turn out is unbelievable, the way the guitar came back after being so hopless. I knew if anyone, it was you who could fix this axe. Man you are the best and what a pleasure to be welcomed at you office the way you do. There are so many reasons there is no one else for me. I have sent many a riend to you with great satisfaction and one of them, thanked me and told me it was the best thing I ever did for him and I have known him over 25 years! Thank you very much. Billy

Billy M says: Paul, Rich and Jimmy are so happy with their guitars. The Les Paul is sweet again, the work on the 72 Martin was just perfect. You can’t see the prior damage or any evidence of your work. Wow! I have been thanked repeatedly by people I have referred to you. Over and over again they tell me what a great job you did. What a great guy, well I have to agree. It is great knowing when I send someone to you I can always be confident they will be happy with your work and ethics. Thanks it is a pleasure to refer you to my friends.

Burton L says: Paul is truly a professional at what he does and, of equal importance, he truly cares about what he does. I have been taking my fleet of guitars, both acoustic and electric, to Paul for years and have always been 100% satisfied. He is a craftsman of the highest caliber... two big thumbs up for Paul and the staff at Guitar Remedy!

Bruce J says: I have just left off my new (old) '62 Gibson ES 125 for re-gluing of the neck. After 48 years the glue has failed. I've had a number of guitars cared for by Paul, and whether it's a cheapie or top name, his work is always top-drawer. Impeccable craftsmanship, precise detailing are the hallmarks of his work. He always takes time to listen and get a clear picture of how you play and what your goals are for the instrument. When I get this 125 back, look out! George Thorogood!

Christopher R says: Knows what to do, is able to do it and pay attention to every detail to optimize the instrument.

Kenny G says: Paul is absolutley the best to work with. He pays a special attention to detail and not only does excellent work but does it with the utmost of integrity. He is my guitar doctor and he understands the importance of taking care of every detail and care for my guitars as if they were his own. He gets to know your guitar like you do. That makes me feel truly at ease leaving my vintage guitars with him. I rest assured he will take the time to answer any and all of my questions and even go a step beyond. I have had several guitars worked on by him over the years and I have happily walked out with a better guitar every time and they can't get any better. I will always recommend him every time. Guitar Remedy is the remedy.

Randy K says: Paul... You have a servant’s heart and also have a giving heart! God Bless you. My guitar plays so nice and the repair looks great! In addition, the extra work you did is appreciated. Rock On! Randy

Karl R says: I bought a vintage Guild 6 string acoustic guitar about 6 or 7 years ago. It was the best sounding guitar I could find in the store. Sounded better than $3,000 guitars that were stashed way in the back. I play it with pride and amazement that this guitar only cost me $650. Recently I wanted to update this guitar with a clean, quality pickup. Fate led me to Paul. I found him to be knowledgeable, professional, talented and best of all.....honest! He could have sold me a very expensive pick up, but suggested a great quality pick up that best suited me and my style of play. He did such a clean job you would never be able to tell this was even done....until it's plugged in! I thought this guitar sounded good before. This guitar sounds incredible now. Such a clean full sound, this was a perfect choice (his recommendation) of add-on for my guitar. He also made adjustments and setup the guitar so the action is better than it has ever been. This guitar literally never sounded or played this good (almost 30 years old). It gets better. He kept me informed as to the progress, answered any questions I had (returns phone calls and emails) and finished the job sooner than expected. His prices are very comparable to other quotes as well. I will happily continue business with Paul and Guitar Remedy. Great job Paul!!

Matt W says:  I was referred to Paul by the Performing arts guild of Orange County. I brought Paul my Gibson SG and my cheap classical guitar. Paul restrung both guitars, reset the action and cleaned and straightened the necks. Overall a fantastic experience. I will be going to Paul for all of my guitar needs. This is a great business, I would recommend to anyone in need of guitar repair.

Bill S says: I found Paul on a referral from the Taylor factory repair rep. He's taken the buzz out of the G string on my Taylor, got my Tele to stay in tune, and adjusted my neck through the body Rcik 5 string. Every recommendation he's made has been right on, yet he never tries to run up the bill. When you find someone you can trust with your instruments, its a good day indeed.

Robert B says: I've been going to Paul for the last 12 years, and I wouldn't trust my guitar to anyone else. No matter what problem I have with my guitar, Paul always finds a way to fix it. I'm a costumer for life!

Pastor Dave G says: We've been bringing our church worship group guitars to Paul for a number of years now. He is the only person we allow to touch our very expensive Martins, Taylors and Gibson guitars. His work is flawless and it is a outward view of the kind of guy he is. He is the best and great gift to our church.

Devin S says: I've been blessed with Paul as a luthier for the last 5 years. Another pro session player mentioned that he was good so I dropped by with my acoustic that was starting to have fret buzz. Since that day, I will never go anywhere else. His attention to detail, amazing listening and most importantly, his quality of work is perfect. My guitars get complements from large venue sound techs who can't believe the clarity. Some people have claimed that they would rather go to guitar center or some other place because it's "cheaper". Paul's prices are low considering the craftsmenship that he applies. The most important thing that Paul does is listen and get to know his customers. That is rare in this business. I was recently impressed with Taylor's level of care for their customers, but I would still put Paul Stebner above them. He's in a class all his own.

Chris M says: Went in a few days ago and had my Taylor guitar worked on. Paul did a great job! This man knows his stuff, and he's SUPER friendly. I highly recommend him!

kim D says: Paul is the best;it's that simple. Professional, friendly, and very talented. He has a keen eye and pays attention to every detail. You can leave your guitar without a second thought and feel confident that you'll be more than satisfied when you pick it up.

Yong Suk L says: Now I'm waiting for my guitar to get it fixed. And How he treats his customer is very professional ! at the same time He is so friendly, it is just like i bring my guitar to one of my best friend. >>> He Cares About Your Guitar And He Cares a Lot about You who hand in Your lovely guitar with trust!

Mary R says: I've now brought 2 different guitars in for Paul to work on; the first, my poor Taylor with a seriously cracked face and the second, a friend's Taylor with intonation problems. Both were not only fixed to perfection, but the guitars seriously sound better than I've ever heard them before. I learn something new about guitars every time I see him! Quality service, quality people. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

Ritchie V says: RA's from manufactures never are the easiest process when you are a consumer trying to get an instrument repaired, let alone replaced. In fact if can be a downright frustrating and time consuming affair. Paul not only negotiated an RA for a guitar replacement for our client, he did it in timely and efficient fashion. Lastly, once the guitar was received back from the manufacture, he added a set up for the client, which was not expected. The last email I got from my client was that he was playing his new guitar for hours the night previous and couldn’t thank me enough for putting his guitar in the hands of Guitar Remedy. Thanks Paul and Josh for your services…

Jacqueline R says: I am in LOVE with my guitar again! His attention to detail was perfect and even though she is 41 years old she sounds NEW again!! I am so glad I found him on the Internet. He is a very down to earth kind of guy and I felt comfortable leaving her in his hands. THANK YOU PAUL :)

Terry C says: Paul did a great job fixing up my Taylor expression system that was not working. Did a nice setup, did it quick and sounded beautiful when I got home and played it.

Omar R says: Paul always performs his work in the most professional manner. I have personally had setup and repair services to my basses and I would only trust Paul with my high end instruments. AAA

Vincent L says: I have been bringing my guitars to Paul for about a year and a half now; and I must say, his work is fantastic. I trust no other guitar luthier with my guitars and basses. He has helped me completly remodel my Fender Aerodyne Stratocaster and I plan to have him do the same for my Fender Aerodyne Classic Stratocaster when I get the parts. I even go as far as to reffer my best friends and band mates to him. One of which had a Squier Strat that we stripped to the bare body and had him completly rebuild. It is now one of the best guitars I have ever played including the one that he has previously done for me. Another great friend of mine plans to take his Schecter C-1 Hellraiser to him to have him fix, repair, restore and upgrade when he gets the parts together. In the end. Paul's work is fantastic and I have complete trust and faith in him and I reffer him to anybody I meet who needs ANY guitar work done.

Roscoe W says: Really fast, reasonably priced, quality service. Answered a lot of questions about guitar care.

Phil B says: I've taken my guitars to many people of the course of my career, and many of the people I've used are very good. However, Paul at Guitar Remedy is the best in the biz. Paul is the most gifted Luthier around and he's just a great guy. If you don't want to take your guitar to someone else to repair a job that doesn't meet your standards, take it to Paul who always gets it right the first time!

Herbert H says: I've never had a guitar serviced with such speed. Brought in my acoustic and got my expression system replaced in less than 24 hours. Paul's service was above and beyond. Plus his studio kicks ass. I will return with anything I need done to my guitars.

MJ P says: As a professional touring and studio musician, I regularly need instruments that play great, sound great, and that play in tune and inspire me whether I'm alone in my room, on stage, or in the studio. For 15 years I've brought my instruments to Guitar Remedy and Paul and company have been nothing but the best in service, reliability, support, and very fair pricing. It's great to have someone who takes great pride in their craft, working on your instruments. It's even more wonderful to have someone who cares about you and the sound you are going for so that your instruments play and sound great. Thanks Paul Stebner for bringing so much life and renewal to our instruments and also to our lives!

Frank B says: Paul treats every single instrument as if it were his own. He's the perfect blend of artist, perfectionist and craftsman, which is a dying breed in this day and age. There are no corners cut, no overcharging and no work done that isn't essential. When you take an instrument in to Guitar Remedy you just know the work will be done right the very first time. It's amazing how many people, pro's and amateurs alike, know about Guitar Remedy.

Tris J says: Been bringing Paul gear for several years, and I'll always come back when needed. I've found many musicians who have been to Paul, or have heard about Paul. I wouldn't recommend any other "remedy" for guitars.

Billy M says: You will have to look a long time to find anyone with as much talent, commitment to quality and people like the Remedy Man Paul stebner. He has worked on every guitar I have and I have over 20! Everyone who even touches my guitars always remarks on how great they all are. Well folks it is not the guitars it is the man setting them up. Proof is in the pudding boy and girls, results speak volumes. The best thing sabout Guitar Remedy is Paul he cares about getting it right for you and is fair with pricing. You can't go wrong unless you don't bring you axe to The Remedy Man!!!!

Alex R says: Great Customer Service.

Hilary W says: Amazing work and completely trustworthy.

Sunup H says: Over the past 4-5 years I have brought 3 totally different used guitars (Taylor 314ce (setup), Taylor 355 (major setup) and a Gibson ES 137 Classic (new nut, TV Jones PUs, Orange Drop Caps, Tonepros hardware, setup)) in and Paul has done "miracle-quality" work on all of them. I could go ahead and list the things he did on the guitars in technical fashion, but that'd take away from what it is that Paul does. For starters, the guy just takes time to listen to you. Even as busy as his shop is (seems like he always has loyal customers that come by for a visit, for questions, or to get some work done on their guitars), he'll take as much time as he can to genuinely listen to you to see what your guitar needs truly are. There were a number of times that I called him on the phone or dropped by just to ask questions, and the guy took time to lend an ear as well as his technical expertise even though I hadn't paid a cent or committed to get any work done. For my last appointment on my Gibson ES, since he had a little bit more time than usual on that particular day, he even let me hang out at the shop for a couple of hours so that he could spend some time learning about what the guitar would be used for, what kind of music I play/listen to, what other equipment I use, and what sound I was going for (ie-translating my guitar jargon (ie-boxy midrange, high end sparkle, low end push, growl, bite) into useful technical terms that he could use to help me perfect my guitar-seriously I felt like this guy could read my mind in terms of defining the tone I was going for!). It was time well spent to just soak up alot of knowledge about guitars, pickups, and hardware in general (things that Paul has no doubt learned not only from his own experience and passion with guitars and music, but also from constantly conversing with some of the leaders in the guitar/pickup world as well), and also gave me a great appreciation for his attention to detail and customer service. Seriously, the guy is all that you'd want in a guitar technician/artist. He's way precise about the details and knowledgeable about the gear (but not in a socially awkward savant sort of way), but also so friendly, humble, and just an awesome guy to talk with. You spend more than 10 minutes with the guy and you can tell that he works with alot of integrity and that he really cares about his craft and his customer. The guy has even helped me with ways I could shave costs off my bigger guitar projects. In this business you get what you pay for, and with Guitar Remedy you get quality and customer service in spades. By the way if you're credit guy like me, make sure you bring cash or check!

Steven G says: Paul is simply the best; technical expertise, artistic sensibilities, always insuring the instrument's full potential of musical expression and personal playability.

Jimmie B says: Paul truly cares about your instrument, maybe often times, more than you. He loves the craft of romancing the best from an instrument. He produces, plays, records, and writes music, he is all about music and gives all he has to the betterment of the music craft. He not only is accomplished in every aspect of music, he loves people and sincerely wants them to experience the same joy he has for the music craft. Paul is a wonderful husband, father, and friend. I have watched Paul study his craft of instrument repair, for as long as he has been in business, with a single minded purpose, “the finest quality and best service”. He never rests on his past achievements, but is always growing in his craft. Though he may say he's not a luthier he has reassembled many stringed instrument from broken splinters of wood. Paul has taken my brand new guitars and has always made them better than the original manufacturer, even my Tom Anderson electric and my custom shop Martin acoustic were improved by Paul. Paul replaced the saddle, nut and bridge pins on my custom shop Martin from bulk fossilized ivory. He shaped from scratch these components into not only a flawlessly intonated instrument, but added a voice to this guitar that knows no equal. I have worked with many repairmen, but Paul has no equal in both service and quality.

Erik J says: I've been taking my guitars to Paul for years. From major damage repair to simple setup, he has always been completely thorough and extremely attentive to detail. He is professional and runs a clean, organized shop. He's my personal favorite and I always recommend him to anyone looking to get work done on their instrument.

Gary B says: Paul has always been at the top of his game, he has and continues to work on all of my instruments ! Once Paul gets it dialed into your liking, there comes the realization that your guitar has finally seen its real potential. The residue of that is, you then realize the full expression of your art !

Rick R says: Paul is amazing... he's improved every instrument I've taken to him. He has great attention to detail, is pleasant to work with, and really knows his stuff!

Aaron S says: I will never go anywhere else
