Guitar Repairs

All Rates as of January 2025

Bench Rate: $150/hr.

ALL SERVICES LISTED REFLECT LABOR COSTS ONLY! Parts (including strings) are additional and will require you to provide them or authorize us to order them for you.

Many services require new strings to be installed. Services that involve the adjustment of intonation require new and unplayed strings installed by us at the time of service. This is to ensure the most stable and correct results possible, which is backed by us. We will not take in free adjustment requests if you choose not to go with new strings.

We DO NOT offer same-day repairs. All work is done on a first-come, first-served basis.
