the dog Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Today I took both my new Signature T and Government Series II Explorer to Barry to get a full setup. I spent a few hours there because the person in front of me went over an hour late. Then in between me some one came in with an acoustic that got a temporary bridge replacement. Concerning the T, no truss rod adjustment needed. But all nut slots had to be filed and brought down and he massaged all saddles. Especially low E and A string. And adjusted action and intonation. And balanced string output level plus polish and cleaning. On my Explorer it was basically the same thing except a little more saddle work. The A string saddle groove was lower than than the the E and the D so he had to bring the others into spec. Now both guitars play incredibly good. Barry is a certified Martin repairman for 32 years,a certified Taylor repairmen and an certified Ibanez repairman (only one in Connecticut) He could be certified with other manufactures but I don't know. It really doesn't matter. He is the best. I am so fortunate that he lives less than 25 miles from me. This gentlemen is a stringed instrument master builder and repairmen. This is his link to his web site. http://www.connecticutguitarandstrings.com/ The only thing that is up todate though is his phone number. He is not a website person.And all visits are by appointment only. I say all this because if your in the vicinity of Danbury Connecticut and need any help this is the man to call. I can talk about Barry a lot. I know he has built cello's that have played Carnegie hall and I've seen Jose Feliciano guitars in his shop. He is a gentleman and very skilled.
