5/5 - by Jesse

CB does excellent work and their store is great. I had my strat setup and it plays and sounds so much better now ( even though I still suck!). I will definitely go back for my repair needs. Thx!


5/5 - by Tim Quintine

I had a broken headstock on my new Gibson. I thought I was going to die, my gf has never seen me freak out so much. Luckily I found CB Perkins, alittle far from my house but they seemed like the best choice so I took the drive. Boy am I glad I did. They do excellent work, Id be surprised if anyone else in the area was as good. Thanks so much. - Tim

About C.B. Perkins Co

C.B. Perkins Co. is a third generation family business, with a guitar shop located in San Jose, California. The business began in 1923 when Charles Blaine Perkins, a music teacher, needed working instruments for his students. He began to learn the art of stringed instrument repair, or luthiery. After a while, he decided to open his own shop, and he taught his son Kent the trade as well. Charles and Kent began building their own guitars in the late 1960s, as well as doing guitar repair and customizing.

Today, C.B. Perkins has added a retail shop and lessons studios. We don't build guitars right now, but we are still have a busy repair shop. Kent's sons, Erick and Josh are running the business now. Kent is still actively involved in the shop, though he will claim that he's "just the janitor".

We began selling used instruments and parts on eBay (username cbperkinsco) a couple years ago, and we had such a phenomenal response that we decided to build our own online store. We offer the same customer service to our online customers as we would if you walked into our shop. We bend over backwards to make our customers happy, whether they are in Sydney, Austrailia, or right around the corner in Campbell, CA.
