1/ PLAYING AND TEACHING GUITAR

Not only is David experienced and qualified in the subject matter but he also offers a fun and exciting method of teaching guitar and music to all ages in the relaxed comfort of a home based studio setting. David loves to teach and it shows with his enthusiasm and rewards with proven results.

2/ TO SET-UP AND REPAIR GUITARS
David is no stranger to working with his hands having also co-owned and operated a construction company for 12 years. In fact, describing him as 'hands on' may be an understatement. He has seemingly always loved setting up and repairing guitars of all kinds. Through Gate 6 David now offers these repair services to the public. Gate 6 carries the an extensive range of specialty tools and equipment required to carry out these precision guitar works to the highest degree of accuracy and professionalism.

3/ BUSINESS
As mentioned above, David is no stranger to business. With his many years of business experience comes uncompromised professionalism. Professionalism is and will always be a key component in providing and maintaining the very best quality of services from Gate 6. Whether that service be guitar or music instruction, guitar repairs or his unique 'dollar a day' student guitar rental plan, one thing is certain.....the very best service backed by unwavering professionalism is guaranteed. One of the biggest concerns parents have is spending a few hundred dollars up front for their child's guitar in order for them to begin lessons....especially inh these tough economic times. We have relieved this concern by introducing our 'dollar a day' rental' plan. Check out this soon to be posted student guitar rental plan or feel free to call if you have any queries.

Gate 6 Guitar Studio
Slotted Bridge modification on a Walden steel string.

A layman's explanation ...hopefully.
Sometimes with soundboard deformation(when your soundboard/guitar top becomes concave in shape due to upward forces caused by the strings over many years in tension),we need to reduce the saddle height to help bring the string action back down (the height of the strings above the fingerboard).
By reducing your saddle height to its limit it can seriously affect your guitar’s tone and string stability at the saddle point. This can even cause string buzz in many cases.
Bridge slotting improves the playability of the guitar by returning the correct break angle of the string (the angle the string leaves the back of the saddle); in addition lowering string height.
This offers stability at the saddle point with increase downward pressure, increased tone production and improved playability overall. No more saddle buzz!

For this upgrade and others,contact me today for your free estimate.
