Bryan Noaker is based Lewisburg, Pa and is a well known, multi-talented musician in the area.   He is a full service guitar luthier which basically means that he can do any of the repairs necessary i.e. fret work , finish and refinish, neck resets, truss rod replacement.

Bryan can really repair the "hard stuff" that most people don't want to attempt.
He'll do guitar electronics and basic amp repair. (jacks, pots, switches, etc.) 

While sharing a venue in 2024, some Lucky Afternoon Band members got to meet and listen to "The Bryan Noaker Trio." 

Great music from three VERY talented musicians!!

(It was our lucky afternoon to meet and listen to Bryan, Jack Lawton, and Bill Stetz)

One of my Anderson guitars is a "Jack's Blue" Hollow Drop Top.  Years ago, Jack worked with owner Tom Anderson of Tom Anderson Guitarworks and developed the color and design of my guitar. 

 

Tom Anderson officially named the design "Jack's Blue" in honor of Jack's color design.

 Thanks Jack!!
