I've played custom made sticks for 18 years, in LA and SF. Gary and his crew are consistantly the only real game in SF. I understand he takes longer than anyone to keep up with his immense request for upgrades and mods, but that is why he is always slow to get you your gear back. I dropped off my J for a shielding and new pots. Gary said 2 weeks, and it ended up taking a month. Did I care, No. He did a better job than anyone in town could have done, with extremey clean professionaly work. And my stick sounds better than ever. If you aren't in a rush, he is the best.
Pros: incredible work, excellent workmanship
Cons: long delays
