“John is one of the best! His work is absolutely top notch. He’s been involved in the guitar making process at every level, and set a very high standard for me during my early years playing PRS guitars. He “knows” what makes a guitar feel and play great, and how to make that happen!”

“I first met John at 33 West St. when he started working with a guy named Paul. A few thousand guitars later when I needed a fret job, John was who I took my guitar to. John’s work is meticulous and the guitars play beautifully! He understands frets, fingerboards, and set-ups, and has rescued a number of my guitars that might have otherwise been un-playable forever. Want your guitar to play like a dream? Give John a call today!”

“John has always done great work and fret jobs for me. He was my set-up guy for many years and always did stellar work. I’m a player and know very little about the ‘technical’ and repair aspect of guitars. I haven’t adjusted my own action or intonation in decades. Having a top-notch person like John Ingram repair, restore and care for your guitars is essential for players out on the road.”
