Todd Neary
" Reid Music Welcomes Todd Neary... "
"An established, reputable luthier and stringed instrument technician with a professional career of over 14 years."
When not working to make them play and sound their best for a particular players needs - he talks, reads, listens ...and
occasionally gets to play... guitar. Extensive knowledge and a deep understanding coupled with an innate sense and feel, and
a good ear, helps him to obtain the best from each instrument that it has to offer. In addition to his 'Fender Certification',
he has performed authorized service and warranty repairs for most of the major guitar manufacturers.
Drawing on tech experience gained in the shop, studio and live, he can accommodate players of all styles and levels - from
"just getting started" to the seasoned pro. He is in the enviable position of having had many opportunites to work on, play,
hear and learn from some of the finest instruments. His experiences have allowed him to design and build the new, and to repair
and restore the old. With a consuming interest in guitars, amplifiers and effects, and knowledge of how to coax their secrets
from them, and an unwavering dedication to offering a superior level of craftsmanship (a rare find these days), he has earned
the much valued respect and support of many professional musicians and teachers. In demand, with clients across Canada, the
U.S. and abroad, his list includes many veteran musicians, artists and bands - from those gigging around town to touring
internationally. Regular calls to help prepare for a session in the studio, as well as the occasional "emergency call", have
resulted in numerous album liner note mentions, thanks, and studio referrals. He has provided his services to many of the
local music stores and schools, their students, various school boards, and the MUN School of Music.
Having been described as "meticulous", he is proud to offer attentive, personalized service to you. With each job he will
provide unbiased, objective opinions and options for you to choose from that suit your needs. Each instrument is treated as
he would his own. Doing what is required for you and your instrument is the most important consideration. His work is never
rushed, with the best possible results being the main focus. Whether you play at weekend parties, are a classically trained
or schooled musician, or just wanna rock 'n' roll... drop by and have your instrument serviced or repaired, ask a question,
or just talk shop...
