Aug 25, 2008 - Phil Petillo truly IS one of the best luthiers on the planet--he's innovative, and his work is truly of consistent high quality. He's worked on numerous instruments I've owned over the past 30 years. He's from West Deal, Ocean NJ if anyone's interested. Bill Turner

Dec 15, 2008 - What's not said here is that you don't have to be a "star" to take advantage of Phil and David's artistry and skills. I'm a hopeless hacker, yet they treat me with respect and my guitars with love. Wouldn't go to anybody else. Rick S

Dec 16, 2008 - My Petillo guitar is a treasure and my respect for Phil and Dave as craftsmen and as people is absolute. The world's better for them having been here: and I'm certainly better for having known them.

Dec 16, 2008 - Dave and Phil Petillo have kept my guitars running for 12 years and it's no wonder Springsteen has all of his work done at their shop - they are the best

Dec 17, 2008 - Phil and Dave have been making my basses sing for 25 years. They are unbelievable craftsmen, and their customer service is second to none. They are probably the most knowledgeable guys in the business, and good Christians to boot!
