Guitar and Amplifier Repairs

 

NOTE: At this time, we are not accepting service work. Guitar service will resume in several weeks.

----------

We service guitars and basses, electric and acoustic, 4, 6, 12 strings and beyond. We do all of your setup and wiring requirements in house, and we do a great job.

We service amplifiers, pedals and almost anything musical through which electricity flows. Our tech department is well versed in tube, solid state, quiet, loud, new and old.

We also work closely with luthiers and specialized technicians across the GTA, so we’ll take on a variety of jobs. Please see pricing below and get in touch to discuss your ideas in more detail.
