About Us
We are a small family operation with a simple desire - to put a great sounding, great playing guitar back into your hands. Whatever your needs, we'll try our best to help you reach your goal whenever it's possible. We are committed to helping you make your instrument the best that it can be, because we firmly believe everyone should be able to own and play a fabulous guitar.
Our owner and head technician is Graham Drew, a British guitarist and bassist with more than 25 years playing experience. He has over 15 years experience in setting up and maintaining electric and acoustic guitars and basses. Born and raised in London, England, he relocated to the USA in 1999 and lived in Orlando, FL for five years where he played lead guitar with the band Jade Fox and ran his first US-based guitar repair shop.
After then spending four years in Gainesville, FL he and his family moved to Northern Virginia in March 2008. He has a wide range of live and studio experience both as a guitar player and a bassist, and after spending two years as lead guitarist and vocalist with the band Echoes, he now performs as bassist for the Northern Virginia band drumfish. Since the early 1990's he has continually honed and developed his skills as a guitar technician and repairman, and he has achieved full certification from several leading musical instrument manufacturers as a Service and Repair Technician. Graham is also the luthier behind Drew & Sebastian Custom Guitars, for which Jade Guitars LLC acts as sole distributor in the United States.
A large percentage of our business comes from repeat customers and referrals. We can usually have your guitar back to you within a few days (sometimes faster if it's really urgent), and we work on all kinds of instruments - electric and acoustic guitars, basses, lap steel guitars, mandolins and banjos. We welcome the opportunity to earn your trust and deliver the best service we can.
We also provide guitar maintenance and repair services to several local music stores and instrument makers.
