GUITAR REPAIRS

Bench Rate: $120/hr.

Our current lead time is approximately three to four weeks, and more intensive jobs including fretwork and neck resets can necessitate a timeline in excess of that estimate. Some small fixes (output jack issues, restringing, etc.) can be completed in a shorter time frame and we try to help out folks who have emergency situations right before shows and tours. 

All services reflect labor costs only. Parts (including strings) are additional.  We currently stock D’addario, Ernie Ball, Thomastik-Infield, and La Bella.

Many services require new strings to be installed by the tech. Services that involve the adjustment of intonation require new and unplayed strings, preferably those installed by the on-site tech. This is to insure the most stable and correct results possible.

AMP/EFFECT PEDAL REPAIRS

Bench Rate: $120/hr.

All services listed reflect labor costs only, and parts are additional. Most amplifier repairs are fairly unique to the individual amp, and we have cataloged a few of the more common maintenance issues below. We welcome the opportunity to sit down with you and evaluate your gear when you bring it in, so we both can have a clear expectation of the work needed. It can often take 1/2-1hr of labor to diagnose more enigmatic issues, so a minimum 1hr labor is a good rule of thumb.

Basic Service with Re-tube and Bias Adjustment: $120 +
Basic servicing can include any and all of the following, as needed:

  • Testing all tubes, operating voltages, power tube bias, and straightening tube pins
  • Installing new tubes as needed, checking/adjusting power tube bias, rechecking operating voltages
  • Cleaning, spraying out and exercising potentiometers, switches, jacks, tube pins and sockets
  • Checking all wiring, speaker(s), cabinet, baffle and speaker hardware


Replace/Rewire Speaker(s): $120 +

  • Buzzing/blown/lame speakers are a bummer, here are some options:
  • Speaker re-cone (Pricing varies depending on speaker type/size)
  • In-house repair of tears or holes
  • Speaker replacement
  • Baffle repair / hardware replacement


Pedal Repairs: $60 Minimum (1/2hr)


Yes, we repair pedals! This can sometimes walk the line of cost effectiveness, but often the problem is a simple one, and we can get them up and running in short order. Some collectible, vintage pedals deserve more time and money, and as with amplifier restoration, we can service vintage pedals with the right parts to preserve/restore their sonic glory.

 

FENDER RHODES PIANO REPAIR

Bench Rate: $120/hr.

There are few things we enjoy more than having a vintage Fender Rhodes electric piano on our bench. We have spent years learning how to properly tune and voice these pianos, replace pickups, adjust action and do general restoration and cleanup on these incredible instruments. 

Basic Tune and Voice: 3-4hrs

  • Tune all tines
  • Balance volume
  • Shim harp as needed
  • Clean all connections & controls
