Guitar Services
THIS PAGE IS HERE FOR ARCHIVE PURPOSES ONLY. WE NO LONGER OFFER LOCAL REPAIR SERVICES.
Please note: We are NOT a fully operational repair shop, so our capacity is limited to very minor repairs and upgrades for our local customers. Customers outside of our area may still use these services, but the shipping costs to get your gear to us and back may be expensive. It is likely more worth it for you to find a professional tech in your area.
Labour only, parts/strings sold separately
Time estimates based on appropriate parts provided or in-stock
