Repairs are limited and by appointment only. My focus is custom builds, so I take on a small number of repairs at a time. Please contact me to check availability before bringing anything in.
Bench rate: $100/hr. Prices below are for labor only. Parts and strings are extra. A + means the price is a starting point.
Tip: bring one or two sets of your preferred strings with your instrument. Many jobs need new strings, and anything involving intonation needs new, unplayed strings for accurate results.
