We have a full service guitar and stringed instrument repair shop right on premises at our Poquoson location, and we offer free pick up and drop off service to and from our Yorktown location. The repair department is headed by Jerry Wade. Most jobs will require an instrument inspection before we can give you a firm price on the job, as some guitars may not be worth the price of the job. Also, some jobs can be combined to save you money. Enquire with Jerry directly regarding this. Please review the following types of jobs we can do for you:
