Ruben Guitars and Repairs

I brought in my 12 string Taylor, which was not playable beyond on the sixth or seventh fret. After a neck reset, set-up and some love, it plays, sounds and feels like a new guitar. Ruben knows his eggs, and he and Rose are lovely to talk to. The Ruben guitars are stunners.

Had my USA Stratocaster undergo significant modification and routing work done.Cannot fault the quality of Ruben's work.Better than OEM.Will be back at Ruben's for any future guitar related work.

Hi Ruben. Thank you immensely for your excellent work on my long time guitar. She plays like the first day.You are indeed talented. Excellent work Ruben. Cheers Mate, Dash.

As the new owner of my Ruben Apex Predator Custom I am truly lost for words, however I will try to explain.From the word go this has been the most amazing ride I could experience.I discovered from very early on in the process that the only limitations were in my imagination, and my dreams were soon to become reality.I am no stranger to high end guitars but they all lacked that 'cutting edge' that I was looking for. Ruben managed to create that extension of myself that I desired. The absolute finest of details were paid the highest of attention to, from the selection of the timber and highly detailed inlay work, right through to the custom finish. The resonance and sound are also exceptional.Ruben truly is a master of his trade.If you are searching as I was, I strongly encourage you to contact Ruben and begin your own individual journey.

I recently had two guitars (an ES335 and a Maton acoustic) repaired by Ruben and I'm over the moon with the results. Great attention to detail and excellent craftsmanship - these guitars have never played better! Great customer service as well by Ruben and Rose - explained in detail all work that was done. Excellent value for money as well. Would give 10 stars if I could!

Absolutely wrapped with the service provided by Rose and Ruben. Had my PRS Custom 22 repaired and setup which now plays and sounds better than ever. Pickups were upgraded with Lindy Fralin pure PAF’s at Ruben's suggestion (which are sensational), corroded hardware replaced, body, neck & frets polished - restoring my 16 year old guitar to its original glory. Since returned for service and setup on a Strat and Gretsch, both very happy with their work.Very accommodating, knowledgeable and took the time to offer options and recommendations. Just genuinely nice people offering great customer service and a quality job. Would highly recommend. Thanks again!

I cannot recommend Ruben's setup and repair work highly enough. I have sent two guitars to Ruben for some fret work and set up and they have both returned to me in the most incredible condition.

I dropped a Fleabass off that has virtually never been played before as it had been sitting in a box for most of it’s life. I knew the bass had needed a good set up and decided to go visit Ruben and his wife. They were so wonderful and friendly and was more than happy to leave it in their professional hands. The bass had needed quite a bit of work to get it back up to playability and when I picked it up, the work that Ruben had done was evidently masterful in his class. The bass action and frets are amazing to play in my hands and is better than ever before! Thanks guys! Take care!

I was ready to hand over my hard earned money for one of Taylor's top end guitar at Acoustic centre when I glanced over to an even more prestige wall of acoustic. Randomly I picked up a guitar that strikes me and said to myself ahh...what the heck, Im just gonna tease myself by playing a guitar that is way beyond my budget and talent- just because.Well STOP the train ! Holy cow ! OMG ! I was captivated right from the first note. Seriously, It was an epiphany ! I abandoned that Taylor purchased, went home, stared at the ceiling for days then remortgaged, refinanced and revised everything. Went straight to Rubens, introduced myself and bought that very guitar.I have not regretted one bit this day. Every time I open the case, what I see, my heart melts. When I play that guitar my soul soothes.Its a dream come true and I say that confidently because I've played many guitars in 30 years.Nothing comes close. Guys go see this man. Thank you Ruben. Thank you.
