If you have ever paid a visit to David Lipkin's and Haim Algranati's workshop in Barnet, you would
immediately know that this is the place your musical instrument should be taken care of. Experience,
dedication and love are the ingredients they inject in every job they undertake. I am fortunate
enough to own an L.A. custom-made, beautiful-sounding, eight-string guitar named after my daughter,
Maya. This was a great collaboration since they gave me a chance to explore on the design side, without
losing sight of the most basic secrets of traditional guitar making. They are without peers.

This guitar has an enormous bass response without sounding boomy. It has a very strong mid-range
which gives the melody lines (usually played on the top two strings) a real "thickness" more akin to nylon
string guitars than steel string. The guitar also has more clarity than any guitar I've ever played.

After searching for ages for a place to have my guitars cared for, LA Guitars was recommended to me
and I haven't looked back. In 2002 I took and old Gibson 335 which was literally unplayable and they
brought it back to life. I have had my other 'workhorse' guitars looked after by David and Haim and will
not trust my gear with anyone else. They are so thorough that when I pick up a guitar they have
repaired or set up they will not allow me to leave the workshop without trying it just to make sure it is
right for me. I have sent several of my students to the shop as well and they have been very satisfied
with the work carried out on their guitars. These guys are tops.
