Guitar Repair Services FAQ

---

• Many of the guitar repairs can be quoted over the phone but there are specific repairs that we would need to see in order to give you a price. (Crack or broken headstock repair and paint repairs) would need to be brought into the shop for a price.

I'll answer a question with a question. When was the last time you had a setup (tune up) on your guitar? This is something that should be done once or twice a year depending on how much you play.

• Bernie does all the repairs in the shop, and with 39 years of experience in building guitars for many of the major guitar companies you can be sure the work will be done right.

• All repairs vary in the amount of time it takes but typical repairs such as setups and electronic repairs or installations usually only take one to two days. An accurate lead-time will be given to you when the guitar is brought in or picked up.
