We don’t list prices because each job is different. Some guitars may need more help than others and we only charge for work that is needed. Our pricing is extremely fair and very competitive in the market. Plus, all work is covered by a 30-day warranty.
We always start with a conversation about what you like and don't like about your guitar. We'll then create a plan to address the problems and give you back a guitar that you love to play. Please use the chat or contact us page to get started.
