I highly recommend this business! Having a guy like Mike, the owner of Thesis Audio Service in Wichita, is an amazing privilege. Other people have to pay to send their stuff to him from all over the country, but we can just walk right in. His prices are fair, and the work done on my vintage Peavy tube amp was completed and ready for pick-up amazingly fast. I had no issues whatsoever, but I will say: given my personal interactions with him and seeing what a kind and cheerful guy he is every time we spoke. I would say that anyone who has given him a less than 5 star rating is just making excuses for their own unreasonable character and their inability to be satisfied or see things the right way, regardless of what anyone may do to try to reasonably satisfy them. If you need this kind of specialized talent to fix your instrument, Mike is the guy to call.

Mike is by far the only person I will allow to work on my gear. He does exceptional work, always upfront and honest about the work to be performed, and if he cannot fix it, throw it out (or he’ll tell you to chuck it!). From amp re-tubing to guitar set ups to instrument restoration, Mike does it all. I recommend him to everyone.

I have known Mike for decades. He is the ONLY person who touches my Ampeg SVT amplifiers. He does excellent work and is extremely reasonable with his pricing. Mike does work for some of the biggest names in the business as well. There's a reason for that. There's nobody better! I highly recommend Mike for anything related to amps, guitars, and keyboards, including full on restorations. Thanks Mike for the MANY decades of excellent service!!

Mike at Thesis Audio Service has been repairing my gear and building custom pieces for me for over forty years now. His work is nothing short of Artwork. Incredible attention to detail and Mike has always gone above and beyond to accommodate even the craziest of my requests. He kept my elaborate rig in tip-top condition through all my touring years. Now, In an era of lackluster service and shoddy workmanship, Mike remains a true craftsman and a man of great character. Thank you for everything, Mr. Metz!
