Testimonials
"When I felt like my guitar needed servicing, I heard of Lionel and trusted the reputation that precedes him. I must say that the service was impeccable with great attention to detail, he is definitely a really good guitar doctor. This is one doctor that I would recommend, who will tick all the boxes when it comes to servicing your guitar in a pristine manner."--- Keba Jeremiah | @kebajer, Music Director, Session Guitarist
"I’ve engaged the services of The Guitar Doctor a few times now and I have never left dissatisfied. In fact I’m always impressed with the level of finesse and attention detail they put into their work I had a tough project for him one – removing the binding on my ES335 and upgrading it to 6105 Stainless Steel Frets. When the job was done, it was so clean and the frets are so level, the guitar is still a dream to play.” ---

"Thanks to the Guitar Doctor for reviving my 2 guitars especially the Ovation. Playing on the Ovation is never same again. The Elixir strings and the setup was tremendous. It sounds even better and the playability is so good than the first time I bought it 12 years back.” --- David Tan, Guitar Collector
