We repair all types of guitars, including acoustic guitars, electric guitars, classical guitars, and bass guitars. Whether you have a vintage instrument or a modern model, we can help.
We recommend getting a setup at least once or twice a year, depending on how often you play. Frequent gigging musicians may benefit from more regular setups (every 3-6 months).
Setup times vary depending on the guitar’s condition and the extent of the work required. Most setups are completed within 24 – 48 hours. Complex repairs may take longer, and we’ll always provide an estimate before starting the job. We also keep you up to date on Whatsapp about when your guitar will be ready.
