Current wait times as of January 19, 2024: standard instrument setups - about two weeks. Timing for other repairs dependent on the nature of the repair.

Still true this year!

WINTER IS COMING! which means so is the dry air that wreaks havoc on our guitars. Remember: your guitar still thinks it’s a tree and it wants to be hydrated! These two-way 49% humidity control packs from Boveda are affordable and a great way to keep your guitar in playing shape. Throw one or two in your guitar’s case and you’ll be good to go.

Got this killer ‘84 Gibson Les Paul in today for a new bridge and setup. Pretty sure this thing weighs about 40 pounds, but it sure sounds great!

You hear the cautionary tales and horror stories about breaking a truss rod. Inevitably, some dude in the corner will shout, “Nah! Never happens. Go for it!” It’s not hard to learn how to adjust your own truss rods. But if you’re unsure, just don’t do it. Take it to someone who knows what they’re doing. Or else you’ll ruin a perfectly good 80’s Gibson Explorer.

There’s always something interesting on the bench. Today’s patient is a 100 year old (ish) banjo mandolin.

Winter time is an excellent time to get your instruments setup. This PRS CE-24 was just in a for a setup and pickup swap (yep, I do that too!) and came out playing like a dream.
