Schneider Guitars

Dave is an amazing artist! He’s worked on several of our well loved but rough vintage basses and turns them into show pieces. We feel so lucky to have a luthier of his experience and caliber right in our community. Highly recommend!

Dave is an amazingly talented luthier. Whether it be tuning up a guitar or building a new guitar Dave is an artist.

An amazing artist that has beautifully finished instruments made from scratch that sing as well as breathing new life into restored instruments. We had a harmonium worked on and it is a new instrument, plays more easily , and has a tone that holds in the air like sweet as nectar. Dave pays great attention to detail we really appreciate his time.

This guy knows his stuff.

Dave restored a 1958 Gibson Les Paul Junior and the final result is nothing other than amazing. I sent the guitar to him in complete pieces. Most original parts were there except for the tuners. A highschool kid had spray painted the body with a can. Dave was able to restore it to a condition that not only exceeded factory specs but added playability to the guitar and a superior sheen to the finish - all far exceeded my expectations. Job well done indeed! Besides the Junior, he has also setup my '89 American Strat (more than once), '97 Taylor 414 and replaced fret wire and setup my '65 Gibson ES120T. There's a big difference between a guitar tech and an experienced luthier and I'm happy to have put all those guitars in his hands. Many thanks Dave.
