Guitar repair is what I do. For details, see below!

The most common guitar repair services are listed below with standard rates.
  • Any unforseen issues, or features that are not standard, can increase the final bill amount.
  • Minimum bench fee is $30.00, which can be applied towards the cost of any repair beyond the initial assessment. ​
***DO YOU HAVE AN EMERGENCY, AND NEED A QUICK TURNAROUND? I do have a rush rate (double).***

I don't offer finish work at this time. I happily recommend Joe Parker Guitars for any refinishing, finish repair, etc.
