Six String Garage opened in Parkdale in May. The shop sells a modest selection of mostly affordable instruments up front, services and builds guitars in the back, and hosts classes in the basement on weekends when he isn't playing stand-up bass with rockabilly trio Christian D and the Hangovers. On the day I visited he was eager to show off his recent projects, which included a Gretsch/Telecaster bastard child finished in a custom car colour, and a Jack Daniels bass clearly meant for a Michael Anthony fan.
