Testimonials"I had this old classical guitar from an antique store that came with steel strings and no saddle. Doug made a custom saddle out of bone and put on the right nylon strings. It sounds great now and is super comfortable to play—I’ve been using it to learn fingerpicking. He also set up my steel-string acoustic and lowered the action, which made it way easier to play. Both guitars feel completely different in a good way. I’m really happy with the work he did." - Dylan J, Jacksonville, FL
