Neely Custom Guitars

Longtime client and friend David Lee Smith from the tv show NCIS is checking out his guitar I restored....soon to be a gift to a girlfriend.

Another headstock repair but I didn't want to lose the decal....and I didn't.

Stuart Ziff called with an emergency. He had dropped his badass new 335 and was so afraid it might be beyond repair. He immediately came over and had me sort it all out. If you ever want to see a fabulous R&B band, go see War. 

Some of my new clients are quite young and extremely good guitarists....Kyle Taylor being one of them. Here's Kyle with his new Strat after corrections.

Okay, after doing hundreds of broken headstock repairs over the years, I figured it out....the tuners need to go somewhere else.

I'm trying to stand tall to 6'4" Ed Quinn while he's in the shop to pick up his Gibson Explorer Baritone and Les Paul. Ed's new tv show "The Oval" is a riot!

The fabulous Grady DiPietro is back this time with his Strat for pickups, leather pickguard, and overall corrections.

Another recent restoration....this time a 1928 Martin 00-28. Lots of work on the bracing, cleats, the bridge plate, frets, and cracks.

The wonderful and outrageous Janet Robin enjoying her 1994 Taylor after a few mods to give her guitars more tone and output.

In 1963, this 1959 Les Paul was just another used guitar. So when the owner decided he wanted to paint it red, he just took a can of spray paint and went for it....even removing the serial number. Now I've got to restore it....not so easy.

Another of my many new clients, the fabulous Grady DiPietro. A great guitarist and teacher with great tone, style, chord shapes, melodies, etc.

Two of my favorite clients over the years, Stuart Ziff guitarist with War and Solomon King enjoying Stuart's new Gibson ES-335 after the once over.

I've been doing a lot of Authorized Service work for McPherson Guitars lately....lots of electronics and upgrades.
