Repairs
We can fix your guitar or tube amp.
Basic repairs and service have fast turnaround times. You can bring me your guitar and have it back the next day in many instances. Did you know I can make your electric guitar sound 10x better without swapping out a single pickup? A lot of it comes down to quality capacitors, wiring, and resistors behind the scenes.
