ARC Guitar

I contacted ARC GUITAR to help me with my 1976 Mossman Tennessee Flat Top. I've had it for 20 years and it just got harder to play. Al Calderone assessed the problem, it needed a neck reset and refret along with new tuning machines. It sounded great new when Al finished it sounded better than new. He really is a superb craftsman.

Phenomenal instructor. My 12-year old just started taking lessons two weeks ago and is already reading music! Al Calderon (owner and instructor) is so patient and so passionate, and that energy and enthusiasm has transferred to my daughter. This is, by far, her favorite extra-curricular activity.

My 14 year old daughter has been taking lessons at ARC guitar for the past year. She really enjoys going to her weekly lessons. Al is an awesome instructor. A very patient person, explains detailed instructions to easily understand, and gives her weekly assignments to work on at home. I would recommend Al to anyone who is looking to take guitar lessons.

Thanks to the careful and skillful work performed by Al of ARC guitars, the Sigma guitar given to me by my now deceased grandfather both plays and sounds like a multi-thousand dollar dream guitar. I could not have imagined a higher level of service and workmanship--and I applaud the personal touch given to this highly prized instrument. Thanks Al, the outcome of your work was worth the drive from Chico by far, and I envision doing business with you in the future.

It was a pleasant surprise to accidently "discover" ARC Guitar while on a business meeting in Winters. Al graciously welcomed me and gave a quitar lesson! His guitars are exquisite and beautiful, I want one!
