How Repairs Work

  1. Bring your instrument in. We’ll take a look, listen to the issue and walk you through the best fix.

  2. Get an in-person estimate. Every repair is unique, so quotes are provided after we inspect the instrument — never online.

  3. Approve the work. We’ll give you a realistic timeline and cost before we begin.

  4. Pick up & play. We’ll make any final adjustments with you to ensure everything feels right.

Common Problems We Fix

  • Buzzing or dead frets

  • High or low action

  • Neck bow or backbow

  • Noisy electronics or scratchy knobs

  • Output jack issues

  • Pickup problems

  • Loose hardware

  • Intonation issues

  • Seasonal humidity-related problems

Pricing

Quotes are always done in person after we inspect the instrument.

Pricing depends on:

  • type of repair

  • parts needed

  • bench queue

  • complexity

We keep pricing fair and transparent — and always get approval before starting. If you'd like a ballpark estimate, feel free to call us or stop by.
