I have been very happy with all the work that I have had done at Mike Forrester's shop and at a very reasonable price.

Mike has worked done work on four of my basses and has a fifth one now. He had replaced nuts, cut pickgaurds, leveled frets, repaired pick-ups, routered neck pockets, and restored a corroded bridge.
After I get a bass back from Forrester Kustoms, it's better than factory! Thanks for all the great work Mike!

Mike did a complete refret, relevel and FB poly refinish on my '92 "Floyd Rose Classic" Stratocaster (maple FB). There was also an issue with a loose neck pocket (but not anymore!).
Outstanding, Sir... now it plays and looks the way I envisioned it should have been originally.

Mike your incredible flawless craftsmanship still just amazes me. My Martin you fixed is still just perfect. Your level of knowledge and expertise is completely unmatched anywhere. I am always thrilled to be in your shop and will ALWAYS bring all my instruments to you forever.
Thanks for providing all of Baltimore and Maryland's musicians with the finest place to have instruments repaired and set-up.

Thanks so much for the quick work! Guitar is sounding great!
I'll probably be back in soon for an acoustic headstock ding repair. Keep up the great work!

I just want to say that Mikes work is second to none!!! He did a finish repair on my 335 and it's excellent. Let me put it this way, I've been reapiring and refretting for over 26 years, and usually do my own work - but in those instances where I can't - Mike is the ONLY person I will let touch my guitars!! Plus he's a great guy too! Thanks Mike - U-DA-MAN!!!!!

I was in desperate need of a refret on my old stratocaster. I tried this myself and made a disaster out of it. I was referred to Mike by Dave of "Dave's Deals". It was the best thing that ever happened to my Strat. Mike refretted and refinished the neck. He even added an amber tint to give it that old look. Incredible job!!! My strat plays like never before and the refinish looks better than a new Fender. The only problem now is that the neck looks 10 times better than the body. I will be going back to have the body redone. If I owned a $50,000.00 guitar in need of repair Mike would be the guy I'd take it to. He's that good!

Good to see you got the site up Mike, the '67 Riviera is still feeling and sounding great with its new frets!
Thanks for keeping all my guitars healthy when I'm in that part of the world!

Mike is a top-notch guy who not only does outstanding work, but stands behind it. He's worked on several of my guitars, and has done great work. Not only that, he's not happy unless I'm happy. Whatever you need done from a simple set-up to a full blown custom guitar, Mike's the guy!

I'm glad to finally have reconnected with Mike after a few years. He couldn't be a more knowledgeable guy regarding guitars and his work/work ethic are out of this world.
I'm looking forward to getting a guitar back from him soon, and will definitely call him going forward!

I've known Mike for over 10 years. His meticulous attention to detail and love
of art is what drew us together. Always a pleasure to deal with or just plain be
around. In this fast paced throw away society, it's gratifying to know that
there's an old world craftsman that still exists.

mike is without a doubt one of the best luthiers in baltimore. I have given him some of the worst basket case guitars over the years to see what he can do. I am always blown away by the attention to detail he puts into a project or repair!
