D S Music/Ax Repair/Dave Sumner

As a first time customer, I was very pleased with Dave's professionalism and knowledge. His attention to detail and perfection was top knotch. He treated my guitar as if it was his own. He went above and beyond to check over everything thoroughly and was reasonably priced. I definitely recommend him and will use him again for all my guitar needs.

Been working with Dave for some years now and couldn’t give him a high-enough recommendation - he is simply the best and a nice guy in the bargain. As others have said, he treats your instrument as if it’s his own.

Dave is the MAN ! I popped the string on my guitar. I called he told me to come the shop. He took care of it the same day. With a reasonable price thanks again brother

Dave is a very nice guy! Extremely knowledgeable and fair prices. He will be my first choice to repair my guitars. I absolutely recommend!

Dave is THE MAN. An absolute master. He did some work on my Les Paul (dressed and balanced uneven frets, adjusted my action and pickup height, repaired my warped bridge and balanced the saddle).

Could not be happier with his work. She played great before but she's an absolute beast now.

I'm a client for life. Great job Dave, THANK YOU!

Dave has done a great job for me on several guitars - one of which (an Epiphone electric) had a warped neck that he straightened and made playable again. Fair prices and great work!!

I had Dave work on my Martin. He was very knowledgeable about guitar and let me know everything he was doing and why. It was ready when he said it would be and he balanced what was best for the guitar with what was most economical. He even requested a follow up visit to make sure the neck straightening would hold up using 12 gauge strings. Great work, great value, very professional and personable. When I have more work to be done to my other guitars, he is the guy I am calling. Thanks again, Dave! Side note, I am pretty sure Dave installed humbuckers on my strat in college - small world :)

In my opinion Dave has a lot of knowledge in his field. He gives a very detailed description of what he is going to do for you and also what to expect. He takes his work very seriously!. It was a pleasure doing business with him. In the future I will have him do all my guitar work. Thank you Dave for being the person that you are.

Dave is very knowledgeable and down to earth. Will answer any of your questions and concerns with courtesy and professionalism. He did an excellent fret dress and setup on my new esp. highly recommended!!

I have been taking my guitars to Dave for the last 15 years. He is the BEST there is at what he does. Super affordable and a all around great guy.

Dave is a master of his craft. Have been bringing my guitars to him for a few years now. Very good guy. Will go above and beyond to please his customers. Plus his work is second to none.

Really knowledgeable guys instead of retail specialists who just happen to work at a place that sells musical instruments. I always get a great feeling there too Dave , Steve and Mark are all around nice guys with a solid focus on guitars and making them the best that they can be. Great craftsmanship too A+!

I've been going to DS Music for years and it's always been a great experience. Dave Sumner is a top notch guitar tech and player. Whether it's an acoustic guitar or an electric guitar, he always sets them up just the way I like them. Once upon a time I had some financial hardships and Dave always cut me a break when I needed a guitar repair job done. Now that's going the extra mile! Whatever your stringed instrument needs are, Dave can take care of any issue. Dave would probably tell you, I'm picky about how my guitars are set up, and he would be right. If Dave can satisfy my guitar jones, then he is THE MAN! Check him out!

Dave is a very knowledgeable stand up guy. I dropped off two guitars, les paul, and a peavey evh. Both came back better then ever. The quality of work and attention to detail is second to none. Bring your gear here. You will be glad you did.

Amazing at repairing guitars. I had my Les Paul break at the neck/head joint. He repaired it so well the break was literally invisible and then set the guitar up to play like butter. I strongly recommend him and his services.

Very knowledgeable and professional guitar guy here. He knows his stuff and did incredible work on my Ibanez acoustic. It plays 100% better now and I'll be utilizing him in the future for my guitar needs 🎸

I was gifted an old guitar recently, and Dave was able to look at it right away. It needed a little work, and he had it back to me in less than a week, practically good as new!

Dave is very helpful and friendly. He evaluated the issue with my Ibanez acoustic electric and did a fix which should do the trick. Thanks Dave!

Very friendly and professional. Super knowledgeable and fun to talk to. My guitar came back playing like it was brand new. I will be back for sure

Wonderful local music shop. Quick and quality repairs. Wonderful teachers that are talented as well as patient and work well with teens. Dave and Stevie are awesome!
