Guitar Repair

Your instrument deserves a craftsman.

From a quick setup to a full structural restoration — every repair is done with care, precision, and respect for the instrument. Since completing Luthier School in 1999, our resident lead technician has worked for the Gibson Custom Shop Fender Musical Instruments and countless professional musicians.

We know your guitar matters.

Whether it's your first guitar or a vintage heirloom, we bring the same level of attention to every job. No rushed work, no shortcuts. Just honest, skilled repair from someone who loves instruments as much as you do.

Drop it off, tell us what's wrong (or what you're hoping for), and we'll give you a straight assessment and a fair quote before any work begins.

How It Works

Simple drop-off process.

Drop It Off

Bring your guitar in during shop hours. Tell us what you're experiencing — buzzing, tuning issues, dead electronics, whatever it is.

Free Assessment

We Get to Work

Once you approve the quote, we'll get it on the bench. We'll contact you if anything unexpected comes up.

Pick It Up

We'll call or text when it's ready. Play it in the shop before you leave — we want you to love how it feels.
