\u201cFor me, a guitar purchase is two things: it’s a working instrument that I rely on for live and recording performances, but it’s also an emotional investment into a guitar that I believe in. And in these new days of online purchasing, I really need to trust that the person working on my guitar is not just a \u2018luthier\u2019 in name, but someone who is a luthier as defined by their devotion, passion, and execution of the craft. Mr. Sharer is definitely the kind of luthier I would trust working on my guitar investments.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_testimonial][et_pb_testimonial author=”Mark Dunn” company_name=”markdunnguitar.com” background_layout=”light” _builder_version=”3.0.100″]<\/p>\n \u201c<\/span><\/i>Rob did a neck reset, a custom fretboard contour, and put stainless steel frets on my HD28.

If you buy a guitar that hasn\u2019t been certified and set up by one of the best luthiers in the business, you simply don\u2019t know what you\u2019re getting. The used marketplace is flooded with instruments that have many years of neglect. Some conditions are nearly unrecoverable and repairs and replacements can range into the hundreds and thousands. At Sound Pure, we ensure that each instrument undergoes a comprehensive review, followed by a complete setup and fine tuning. We hold all our used instruments to the same standards as new ones, so you can buy with complete peace of mind.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.soundpure.com\/a\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Bridge-Work.jpg” _builder_version=”3.0.101″ \/][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section bb_built=”1″ specialty=”on” _builder_version=”3.0.101″ prev_background_color=”#e3e3e3″ next_background_color=”#e3e3e3″ inner_width=”auto” inner_max_width=”none”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.soundpure.com\/a\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Rob-Installing-Pickup.jpg” _builder_version=”3.0.101″ \/][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ specialty_columns=”2″][et_pb_row_inner admin_label=”Row” _builder_version=”3.0.47″][et_pb_column_inner type=”4_4″ saved_specialty_column_type=”1_2″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.0.101″]<\/p>\n Wood is organic. Whether it\u2019s seasonal adjustments or new wood settling, wood instruments require regular attention and care in order to perform at a world-class level. Many of the most respected manufacturers expect the dealer to take the guitar from good to great in the final setup. Even the most immaculate wood choices and build quality may still fail to deliver on a comprehensive, nuanced, and player-sensitive precision setup if they don\u2019t have professional eyes on them.\u00a0At\u00a0Sound Pure, our guitars don\u2019t go out the door unless they\u2019re right.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section bb_built=”1″ background_color=”#e3e3e3″ _builder_version=”3.19.5″ prev_background_color=”#ffffff” module_id=”meet-our-luthier” inner_width=”auto” inner_max_width=”none”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.0.47″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” width=”80%” max_width=”1080px”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.19.5″]<\/p>\n Our entire team is made up of musicians,\u00a0and our luthier, Rob Sharer, is no exception!

A fretted instrument is first and foremost about playability and resonance.
