Our Guitar Guys...



Eric “Head” Morales is our head guitar repair guru. Starting at the age of 5, he began taking apart appliances like VCR’s, TV’s and radios. By order of his parents, he learned how to fix and re-assemble them!!!

By high school he played drums and guitar. Upon joining the high school marching band, he quickly became the go-to guy for repair and maintenance of drums and brass. Maintaining and repairing countless guitars and basses over the years for band-mates and friends, Eric met up with his mentor Ed Reyes of (Underground Guitars) and Vatos Locos in Houston, TX who helped him hone his craft. Eric is now a full time fixture at D.O’B. Sound..


D.O’B. Sound Co-Owner Larry Ramirez handles all our custom paint jobs and heavy duty repairs. Larry got his start as a kid in painting at his family’s auto body shop (Superior Auto Body). An artist from childhood, he would do custom paint jobs on anything from cars, bikes and toys to bodies. Larry continues to keep his chops finely tuned doing custom painting and repairing guitars.





Please note: We must be able to inspect your guitar in person to give you a quote on repairs or modifications.

Big retail music stores do not set up guitars/basses. Their employees simply remove the guitars from their shipping boxes and place them on the floor. When you purchase these guitars, they are not even set for their optimum performance. Every guitar should be set up, from your $99 special, to a Gretsch White Falcon. We offer our "D.O'B. SOUND SPECIAL" for only $50. A complete set up. (Floyd Rose style tremolo are $65)
