Most jobs start with a setup, a diagnosis, or a specific repair request. These are starting points, not surprise invoices. If the guitar needs more than the obvious fix, you will know before the wrench turns.
Parts, strings, pickups, nut blanks, saddles, fret wire, unusual damage and previous repair work are extra unless stated. A minimum bench fee may apply for diagnosis, inspection, or checked-in work.
Relief, action, intonation, pickup height, hardware check and the small adjustments that make the guitar feel right again.
From $85-$125For mystery buzzes, tuning problems, dead notes, noisy electronics, loose hardware, or "something feels wrong."
Minimum bench fee appliesOutput jacks, pots, switches, pickup installs, grounding problems, scratchy controls and custom wiring ideas.
From $75-$200+Sharp fret ends, uneven frets, dead spots, buzzing that a normal setup cannot fix, and full fret correction.
From $75-$450+High nut slots, tuning hangups, worn saddles, poor break angle, acoustic playability issues and material upgrades.
From $65-$175+Cracks, bridge work, oddball repairs, restoration problems, heavy mods and guitars with a complicated history.
Estimate firstBecause the same symptom can have different causes. A buzz might be a setup issue, a high fret, a loose tuner, a bad nut slot, or something rattling inside the guitar. The honest answer starts with looking at the instrument.
"Quick and very reasonably priced." - Brian R
If a cheap adjustment solves it, great. If the guitar needs deeper work, you will get the practical version before spending money.
