Guitar repair and setups at the shop in Glens Falls: fret work, electronics, nut replacement, tuner replacement, structural work on acoustics. Flat pricing, diagnosed with you present.

Where We Are

We're on the second floor of The Shirt Factory in Glens Falls, one of the more interesting buildings in the region. It's a converted 19th century textile mill that's become a hub for artists, makers, craftspeople, and independent businesses. Painters, photographers, woodworkers, jewelers, and now a guitar shop. The building has a creative energy that fits what we do. Use the Cooper Street entrance and take the stairs up. If you need assistance, give us a call and we'll come down.

How It Works

Bring the guitar in, we look at it together, the problem gets explained, you get a flat number before anything starts. No surprise charges. If something shifts mid-repair, you hear about it before we keep going. Not sure if it's worth repairing? How to know if a guitar is worth repairing.

Setups

Standard setup is $79. Specialty setups (Floyd Rose, 12-string, classical) are $99. A setup covers truss rod, action at the nut and saddle, intonation, fretboard conditioning, and fresh strings.

Repair Work

Fret leveling and dressing, refrets, nut and saddle work, tuner replacement, electronics (pickup swaps, wiring, pot and jack replacement), bridge reglue on acoustics, crack repair and stabilization. Common diagnosis questions: what is fret buzz and how to fix it, why won't my guitar stay in tune.

The Repair Vault

We document repairs as they come off the bench. Browse the Repair Vault to see the kind of work we do: every entry names the instrument, what it came in doing, what we found, what we did, and how it played when it left.
