RESTRING
Keep your guitar sounding its best with a fresh set of strings. Our restring service includes careful removal of old strings, cleaning of the fretboard, and precise installation and tuning of new strings for optimal tone and playability.
SET UPS
A full setup ensures your guitar plays comfortably and sounds its best. This service includes neck adjustment, action and intonation calibration, pickup height adjustment, and a full inspection to match your playing style and preferences.
WIRING
If your guitar cuts in and out, crackles when you plug in, or doesn’t produce any sound at all, the output jack might be the issue. Over time, the jack’s internal connections can loosen, corrode, or break — especially if the cable gets tugged or twisted.
NUT REPLACEMENT
A properly cut and fitted nut is essential for tuning stability, intonation, and comfortable action. We offer precise nut replacement using quality materials like bone, graphite, or synthetic options—custom-shaped and installed to suit your instrument perfectly.
COSMETIC REPAIRS
From dents and dings to finish touch-ups and polishing, our cosmetic repair service restores your guitar’s appearance without compromising its integrity. Whether it’s minor wear or more noticeable damage, we’ll help your instrument look its best.
FRET WORK
Over time your frets can feel dull and scratchy - We take our time to perfect the fretwork, bringing out the shine. Gradually progressing up the grits from coarse (400) all the way up to a fine (12000) to give you that glassy and classic feel that you often get on a telecaster or stratocaster.
