During the 80s and 90s, Tom was, by my choice, my only guitar repair guy.Playing 4-5-6-7 nights a week and some weekend daytime gigs meant my main electric guitar's frets were replaced every year, maybe 18 months. My hand to God ! I bought a 60s reissue Fender Strat from GC in the early 2000s and before taking it home, I left it with Tom and asked for jumbo frets to replace the Fender frets. What a truly masterful job Tom did...the frets felt like they always belonged on that Strat ! Tom is that rare animal - tremendous tech... read more

The Very Best & Now Mobile!! – I've been going to Tom at TR Guitars for about 20-years and TR has always exemplified 5-star work, fair pricing and fast turn around time. TR has since gone mobile and I've had the luxury to check out this most convenient new innovative service- Tom picked up guitar at my work and delivered back 2-3 days later....SWEET....he comes to you - saved me time and money. I own a lot of nice instruments and I wouldn't go anywhere else. Getting work done on my guitars is very personal and I wouldn't all... read more

TR Guitars is the Best! – When I first started playing guitars, I had repair issues. I went from one shop to the next, not getting my repairs done to my expectations. Finally, I found "TR Guitars". Its been 20 years now and I have been more than satisfied with the quality of work and timely fashion it takes to get the job done. Recently, my children have started playing a "Squier Guitar Hero" guitar which had some electronic issues. The only person I found that could fix it is TR. Thanks for making my guitars play great, pro... read more

Lawsuit on Messing up my guitar – Just like the previous post, I highly recommend you stay away from Tom at TR Guitars! Last year in January 2010, I went in to his shop to get an electronic pickup installed on my new hand-made Collings OM3 acoustic guitar that cost $4,432.00. When I gave him the guitar he assured me this would be an easy job. He said that it would take a couple of days but ended up taking several more days. I called him many times and wouldn’t even return my phone calls. He finally finishes the installation ... read more

UNPROFESSIONAL – Just a warning to anyone who would think about going to Tom at TR Guitars. I have never met anyone as unprofessional as Tom. If you need guitar work done go anywhere but there.

Installed Custom 1969 Strat Pickups – This is like a holy Mecca for guitarists - part master workshop and part museum. When you first check it out you’ll think WTF? Tom works out of a small industrial unit in an unremarkable business park near Walnut and Jamboree in Tustin. If you're put off by the lack of glitz or Guitar Center hubbub, then Tr Guitars isn't your kind of place. But if you're looking for a master of guitar repair, a fair price, and meticulous service, you've found your diamond in the rough. I was quoted $100 ... read more
