"I believe in getting the full potential out of a guitar. It should play and sound the best it is capable of. Whether you're a beginner or a pro, your guitar should be all it can be. It should play well, in tune, and look and sound good. If it does all that, you can take it to the next level with upgraded electronics or hardware modifications."

        Alan Morrison, owner of AM Guitar Works has been playing, repairing, customizing, and building guitars for over 40 years. “I started doing this type of work in the 80's, working full time at a music store, where I gained a lot of experience with guitar and amplifier repair. Since then I have continued to build and customize guitars and service amplifiers for myself and others as well.”

He is also a working musician as lead guitarist in Identity Crisis, a 12 piece classic rock band based in the Quad Cities.
