Some very kind words from a world-class musician.....

"In my travels I often get the chance to sample the wares of

luthiers all over the world. Every once in awhile a guitar stands out in my memory for its exceptional tone and response.

Greg Pacetti's is one of these. I didn't want to stop playing it, as the rich, even tone and impeccable intonation was inspirational, just what a player wants from a top-quality instrument."

One of our most exceptional guitarist

___What-I-Do___

The musical instruments that are primary to my shop..

Classic-O ; Very similar to the Martin OOO (you could say my interpretation of the OOO)

Reso ; A Square neck Lapstyle slide with Cone Resonator

Chena Uke PS; Tenor Ukulele 17 1/2"scale, thru bridge string mount & Oval sound hole.

G Bass ; An occasional Solid Body Bass (Grady's Bass)

Most Instruments have an Asymetrically shaped bridge .
