…I was so impressed with his expertise, and his superior knowledge of guitars in general. The questions that I asked him were answered to the fullest detail, which gave me a real secure feeling. There could be no doubt about the results should I permit the repairs. Believe me there was nothing left unsaid and I permitted the work.
I must tell you that his workmanship is so superior. As I run my hands over the entire guitar I simply love the smooth touch I get, which is a credit to his unique lacquer work. Aside from the complete refurbishment of this instrument, the tone of the guitar is far superior to that when I first brought it in to him. Hard to believe but tis true. It has made such a difference to the quality of this guitar. I love my Martin and I am happier now then when I first purchased it! That is saying a lot!
Sincerely,
Rachel Nutter
I would like to thank you for all your patience while working with me on the repair my guitar. I don’t think that there are many people that would have performed the repairs as if it were your own instrument. Your craftsmanship is impeccable – It looks, plays, and sounds great!
Thanks so much.

The Camp Magic has turned this moldy, rain soaked, stripped down guitar into a thing of beauty. I love the finish, pretty but still vintage and looks like it was loved forever. The sound is very throaty and much better than I had hoped.
My Martin guitar is giving me worried looks afraid it may be case bound for awhile. The pickup and the tuners look original and also sound great.
Thanks again for all your skills and care on this massive project.
You’re the best.
Aloha,

I want to compliment you on your organization and the presentation of your shop. I have been in many service areas in shops in San Diego and other cities and yours is, unquestionably, the best. Most places have to push the old pickups and screwdrivers out of the way to make room to see the customers’ guitar and one leaves their prize possession wondering what it will be set down on. In other situations, I have brought in my own protective cloth and asked that it be used when handling my guitar.
I really appreciate your concern for the instruments which is obvious by the care you have taken in laying out your shop. As a customer who values the appearance of his guitars, I want to thank you for that extra care and concern.
Sincerely,
Greg
Hi Chris,
I just wanted to let you know that I can’t stop playing my any of my mandolins now.
Thanks again for the great work and workmanship. You’re an artist.
Later,
Dave
Thanks Chris!
I love love LOVE the way my guitar came out. I played it for hours last night. Haven’t got to the pedal yet, but I’m sure it’ll be great. Thanks for everything, you have made a customer and referral giver for a lifetime.

I visited Chris Camp’s shop on Friday and he completed the repairs on my AT-17.
I’m a picky guy and Chris did a phenomenal job cleaning up the finish issues on the fingerboard binding. You would never know anything had ever been wrong. Aside doing spotless work, Chris is great all-around guy and I had fun hanging out while he worked on the archtop. Looks like I’ve found my new go-to local guy for repairs. Thanks!

Hi Chris,
I just wanted to tell you how happy I am with the work that you did on my guitar.
I knew of your work before I met you but after spending time with you on the original assessment, I knew when I left it with you that it was in good hands and that there was no doubt that I was going to get a better quality instrument back.
I really enjoyed getting to know you.

The binding was coming loose on my 1983 Martin D-35. Being near the coast, I took it to another authorized Martin repair shop attached to a retail store. After three months of phone calls and being put off, I picked up my guitar and took it to Chris Camp. He went over the work to be done, explained how he would do it, and, at my request, made several recommendations as to other repairs that he thought would enhance my guitar-playing experience.
Chris did a fantastic job. It took him only a couple of weeks, and his attention to detail was gratifying. I could tell he loved my guitar. He even went so far as to “age” the finish over the new binding so that it matched the yellowed varnish on the rest of the guitar. He hand-carved a new bridge and fine-tuned the saddle to fix a small anomaly in the harmonics. End result: my vintage Martin sounds and looks better than ever. And all for a reasonable price.
I would trust Chris with anything with strings, and I expect to take more instruments to him in the future.
