I utilize accurate restoration techniques to preserve the original spirit and value of your precious instrument. As guitar tech and designer, I have a deep insight into guitar repairs, subtleties of construction, stress, tension, finishes, glues, etc. Guitar restoration and repair work should be respectful and careful, never doing more than is needed.
Don't Fret it Guitar Repair uses StringTech's newly engineered "TechDeck" Workstation that stands alone as the fastest, easiest, most versatile and safest way to handle valuable instruments for re-stringing, set-ups, fret work, Neck Surgery, wiring, gluing operations, adjustments, restoration and hundreds of other repairs and adjustments. I never put a instrument in a vice or any other type of tool or apparatus that would cause any kind of stress to your instrument.
Whether it’s a set-up on a $100 beginner’s Christmas present or a refret on a original 1959 Gibson Les Paul, Don't Fret It Guitar Repair is the place for great service on your instrument.
