We also stock over 100 different brands and gauges including single strings. A simple 6 string guitar not needing any repairs or adjustments costs just $20. total. That includes everything. If we are not super busy it can take only 5-10 minutes. Other instruments and other instruments needing adjustments or repairs obviously cost more and take longer. We can give you an estimate on the spot. No appointment necessary. Bring your Axe in Monday-Thursday 10a-8p and Friday & Saturday 10a-6p. AND A REMINDER we have our own parking lot right behind the store.

Guitar Works, Inc owner and founder, Brian Medas heads up our musical instrument repair M.A.S.H. unit and the elves that set-up and adjust the Guitar Works, Inc. instruments. With 35+ years experience, Brian has worked on over 100,000 instruments during his tenure. We think he holds an unofficial re-stringing world record of 2 minutes, 38 seconds! Now that's fast! For most music stores, minor repairs and re-stringings are considered annoyances, and you will usually get the dreaded "Can You Leave It With Us" response. What a hastle! Not at Guitar Works, Inc. for us these types of repairs are usually routine. We try to do the little things while you wait, slightly more detailed in a day or two. Come by anytime no appointment necessary for a free examination and estimate.

More than half of our repair business is not fixing broken or damaged instruments, it is setting up instruments that either have gone out of adjustment or were never set-up and adjusted in the first place. From my 35 years experience I would estimate the never set-up instruments would be roughly 90% of the fretted instruments sold. If you think about it that makes sense. From the factory to the wholesaler to the retailer everyone of them is in a hurry and cannot or will not take the time to do this important work. Customer's complaints or comments go something like: "This guitar I have won't stay in tune" or "It hurts when I play this guitar" or "This guitar sounds dead" and often "There is a strange buzzing sound in the neck"...I could go on and on. If any of these symptoms sound familiar bring your guitar, bass, banjo or mandolin by Guitar Works anytime, no appointment necessary for a free examination and estimate. Quite often the solutions are simple and affordable. STOP STRUGGLING WITH THAT GUITAR! BRING IT BY TODAY! Oh and a reminder there is parking right behind the store in our own parking lot!
