About Me
Fellow Guitar Lovers,
Nice to meet you; my name is Shilo!
If you play any stringed musical instruments, you’re in the right place! I started playing music at an early age. My first instrument was piano, then drums, and I quickly moved to guitar and bass. I played in bands throughout school until I went to college to further my education in the music industry.
After college, I started building solid-body electric guitars. However, my passion to play music took over, and I began to realize how important a finely set-up instrument is. So I took a luthier course and became a certified technician. My passion for music, guitars, amplifiers, and audio has always been a growing part of everything I do.
I played in various bands, and I teach and write music. When I’m not playing music or rehearsing, I repair string instruments as a certified technician.
Let’s chat! Call me at 250-509-1384.
What people and dawgs are saying
“Shilo was really professional, did a perfect setup, and knows guitars in and out. Definitely the best guitar tech in the whole Calgary area.
Highly recommended.”
Carl D.
“Shilo is detail-oriented and, most importantly, tone-oriented. If your dog doesn’t sing to your blues, you’ll know your guitar needs some work.”
Finn
‘”Many musicians aren’t aware of instruments needing to be set up properly. If your guitar doesn’t play correctly or doesn’t sound great, now you’ll know why. Shilo is a pro at guitar setups and repairs, whether it’s adjusting the bridge or tackling fret jobs. He’s a player/tech who knows exactly what a musician needs.”
Adrian A.
“I haven’t met anyone as knowledgeable about guitars and amps as Shilo! He has set up and fixed several guitars for me. Brilliant job and fair prices.”
