Certified luthier Gabriel Wright has been interested in guitars since he
was about 10 years old. As a bass player of 12 years, while attending
the University of Arizona, he decided to take a left turn in his career
path and pursue his passion. He attended the Roberto-Venn Academy
of Luthiery in Phoenix, AZ and graduated having completed the entire
curriculum including the Tool Use & Maintenance Seminar and also the
Mandolin Seminar (taught by master luthier Rick Turner of Renaissance
Guitars and D-Tar electronics).

Following the course, he apprenticed under local repairmen to learn,
among other things, how to do the best fret-jobs in Arizona.

Since that time, Gabriel has been working for himself at Gabriel's Guitar
Services, providing customers with the skill of a great repairman, and
the precision of a master luthier. We pride ourselves on being the best,
fastest, and most economical guitar repair center in Tucson.

David Rivas is a musician of 10 years and has been working with
electronics ever since he can remember. He started out messing with all
of his own gear, modifying tube pre-amps, guitar and bass cabinets,
and effects pedals. His hobby eventually grew into an obsession as his
friends began wondering how he got such awesome sounds out of his
rig, and requesting that he modify their equipment too.

David quickly found a niche building custom pedals for his friends,
which eventually found its way into the mainstream music scene. David
has built equipment for and does consistent repair work for RxBandits,
Facing New York, Sounds of Animals Fighting, Tera Melos, Fall of Troy,
Sound the Alarm, Finch, and many others.

He is a self-proclaimed "Sound Guru", always tweaking and changing
electronics until he gets that perfect sound. Make an appointment today
to find out what unique sounds David has in store for you!

David holds hours on Fridays between 10am and 2pm, and also works
by appointment.
