GUITAR REPAIR PRICES

The prices below are only estimates.  All of our charges are based on our hourly rate of $90 per hour.  While most of these jobs are common enough that we can give a good estimate, guitars are inherently individuals, and as they say, “your mileage may differ.”  We will always call if there are conditions we did not see on first inspection and which may raise the price.
