Dom Polito is the guitarist for Classic Albums Live and uses my Premium Vintage Sets.
Classic Albums Live are a world class group of musicians playing note for note performances of classic music.
Freddy’s Frets Freddy did the re-fret on my guitar and did a first class job. It’s never played better. His shop is located in Welland, Ontario so if you are in the area, Freddy is the man.

GT Saddles Compensated brass saddles for Telecasters. Great product to help eliminate the intonation problems with traditional Tele saddles.
Snake Oil Strings Excellent strings that capture that vintage 60’s tone. And they have come down in price as well. Great tone and long lasting. I use the Original Nickel sets, but the Rock sets are excellent.
