Bird & Bee Guitar Company

We suffer when our favourite Instrument is being repaired. Like missing a family member. When I received my 2002 Anniversary Edition Seagull back from Brian, it was all worth it. It plays perfectly! Great work and thank you. Perfect job!

Brian did not disappoint! He took time to explain the likely issue with my guitar when I dropped it off. The guitar was ready on time, and the results were exactly what I was looking for. Before the setup, the action was too high, making it difficult to play. He even gave me a report on the adjustments he made. I will not hesitate to use Bird & Bee again for all of my guitar setup/repair needs.

Did an excellent set up on my guitar, ended up bringing back another guitar for a repair.

Brian is very good at communicating his process to you and kept a very fair price at every step. He ended up getting my guitar done much quicker than expected and the hustle was appreciated! I'll be back and would recommend him to anyone.

Fantastic! My guitar was ruined by a shop in Mississauga and I was told to call Brian he could help. His attention to detail and overall great job requires this review! Old fashioned quality craftsmanship is alive in Brian check out the two before, it was that bad, and the one after pic!

I had two acoustic guitars set up by Brian and was extremely pleased with the results. Both of them are sounding and playing better than they have in years. They also look fantastic. I have two classical guitars I will be taking to him as well.

Brian did an excellent job in repairing the inlay dots on my guitar. He also provided useful insights on the condition of the guitar. I would definitely comeback again if my guitar needs TLC in the future!

Brian has just completed a complete rebuild of my 1971 Giannini 12 string guitar.
Indeed, even better than it was when I bought it way back when.
Great work takes time.
Just magic.
Thanks Brian.

I was hesitant to contact a Luthier to look at the crack in my guitar, seeing as it is very sentimental to me. Seeing the good reviews online, I decided to take my guitar to Brian and Bird and Bee. I could not be happier with the results. He found a few more issues with my guitar that I was unaware of and he got them fixed. Cant thank him enough. The price was phenomenal. A+ Rating. 5 Stars. If your baby needs work, take it to Brian.

Brian has worked on all three basses I own. From set-ups, to rewiring projects, to conversion from fretted to fretless.

Brian's craftsmanship is fantastic. Attention to detail is primary. He gets it right, but if it's not perfect in your hands, he's always willing to take the instrument back tweak it.

When I moved to Niagara I was in search of someone who I could trust to service and maintain my guitars. I tried some local shops, local ‘luthiers’, big box music shops all with varying degrees of success. However, even in the best case scenarios I never felt like I was getting the straight goods.
I ended up finding Brian, he was easy to talk to and best of all, he told me the good the bad the ugly, if something was good he didn’t tell me I needed something. He’s worked on my acoustics, finished up a custom build for me and worked on a Floyd. The pricing was always reasonable, but more importantly, he set expectations and stuck with it. If he said it was going to be done next Saturday, I was picking it up next Saturday. He always answered my questions without the condescending attitude you can find in some shops.
A+ in terms of service, at the end of the day isn’t that what we are looking for? Someone you can trust to work on our pride and joy?

Brian was amazing! Had a guitar damaged in a flood and he was able to bring it back to life. This guitar was handed down to my wife and so happy we were able to save it!

The Covid Crisis inspired me learned to play again after many years of being dormant. I bought a gorgeous used Martin and brought in to Brian for an Advanced Set Up. Brian meticulously examined everything thing that could be looked at.reset the nut and saddle, lowered the action and magically made the frets new again. Removed, tested and reinstalled the electronics, along with extra light strings. I am so happy I have a Martin and soooo happy Bird and Bee Guitars is Southern Ontario’s Premier Luthier! Thank You Brian for all you do to inspire and help musicians everywhere!

My guitar developed a fracture/crack in the bridge. After examining the damage, Brian and I both agreed that bridge replacement was the best way to go. At the same time, the guitar was treated to a new saddle. Intonation was always good. It is now perfect!

Many thanks to Bird and Bee

Had the advanced setup done. Excellent work, guitar plays better than new and super friendly service the whole way through.

Brian is impeccably detail oriented, and gives a honest assessment. He really understands unique problems and listens well! I would trust all my guitars with him.
