No Workshop ? ..... No Problem.

With the explosion of Kit-Guitars on the Market; many are now choosing to set up a home workshop and start to assemble their kit guitars and make adjustments in the comfort of their home. They are easily setting up on their Rolling Carts and Black + Decker Work-Mates. Many of the Apartment dwellers are turning their dining room and kitchen tables into intermittent workshops ! Then packing up when they are done, and storing their TechDecks in the closet until the next time they need them ;^) !

The GPS and XLT model TechDecks that you see in all of the instructional videos; are being shipped World-Wide.

Guitar Techs / Guitar Enthusiasts and Luthiers from Germany / Indonesia / Japan / South Korea / UK / Slovakia / Slovenia / Australia / New Zealand / New York / Nashville / LA / Las Vegas / Toronto / Vancouver / Montreal / Houston / Boston / Washington / Maryland / Texas / California / Ohio / Calgary / Winnipeg / London / Paris .. and dozens of other US and Canadian destinations; are now using the portable, affordable, super versatile, GPS + XLT model TechDecks.

I am grateful for the encouragement and support from all of my students / customers / TechDeck owners, as we all continue to "Make the World a Better Place" ... one guitar at a time.


Gratefully in your Service, Michael McConville.
