Hi, my name is Jeremy. JD Guitar Setups is here to help get your guitar or bass playing and sounding great! I am located in Lancaster, NY and have many services available. Starting with basic setups to nut repair/replacement, fret leveling/crowning or replacement, bridge/trem adjustments and pick-up swaps and wiring issues to name a few. I have been in the Buffalo music scene for 25+ years (playing my first gig when I was 14) and I know the feeling when your gear is just not performing to it's full potential. I am here to help get your gear playing as it should, and adjust it to your playing preferences!

About Me

 

I have been around music and instruments pretty much my whole life. My father was a drummer in a local band, and his band used to practice at our house. I can remember sneaking into the basement when he wasn’t home and jamming out on his drum set pretending to be on stage in a huge arena in front of thousands of fans! That is where my love for music began.

​

Since the drums were readily accessible, that is where I began. I started playing the drums seriously when I was 10 years old, I never formally took lessons, but I would watch my father play and he would give me pointers along the way. I Started my first band in Middle School when I was 12, and from then on, I have played with many bands, both original music and cover bands. In the past 20 years I have had the privilege of playing at all the major music venues in Western New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and at the legendary CBGB in New York City.

​

In 2016, I decided that I wanted to try something new and that is when I bought my first guitar. I picked up a used guitar at a local big chain music store, and when I got it home and started playing around with it, I realized that it didn’t feel quite right.  After doing a little research and talking to a few of my guitar playing friends, we concluded that the neck and bridge needed some adjusting. From that day on, I was determined to learn everything I could about guitars and how they work!

​

For the past 8 years, I have been performing professional guitar/bass setups and repairs for my friends, family and anyone that was referred to me by them. I decided to branch out so I could help the community of musicians from the area that may need assistance with their instruments, Buffalo has always been a great music scene and now I would love to help give back what can!
