David is the most talented and driven luthier I've ever known. He's shown great respect for all my guitars, regardless of pedigree - from a vintage strat to a favorite hand-painted Frankenstein to a top of the line Artist model - and dramatically improved their tone, accuracy, playability and beauty. It's no exaggeration to say it's always a transcendental before-and-after experience to play a guitar after it's been on a visit to Mr. Schneider's workshop.

Premium guitar repair for rare and collectible vintage instruments: David has been doing extensive repair work on musical instruments for almost three decades, with vast experience in guitar repair and restoration. His talent in this field is held in high regard by many musicians and collectors. His experience ranges from complete restorations of vintage and rare guitars to the basic setup. A challenging and successful restoration was that of Andre Segovia's Ramirez classical guitar that had been in an automobile accident. He has restored old Martins, Fenders, Gibsons, and other vintage guitars of rare quality. He has recently restored a Gibson Lucille that was signed by B. B. King.

Please note that we now only have time to restore extremely rare and collectible instruments. Please call your local guitar shop for repairs to new guitars. We regret that we can't even offer referrals or advice at this time, since the guitar repair scene has changed so dramatically in recent years. Sorry!
