Wait time for general setups:  NOT ACCEPTING UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE

Wait time for general repair (electronics, tuner swaps, nuts, saddles, plek/fretwork, etc.) : NOT ACCEPTING UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE

Wait time for glue jobs: NOT ACCEPTING UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE

Wait time for finish work: NOT ACCEPTING UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE

Thank you for your patience while we work through our backlog of glue, finish, and fretwork repairs. We are currently not accepting repairs in those categories while we clean up the backlog. In the future, we plan on taking no longer than a few weeks for any repair; and once our backlog is cleared out, we will be able to do just that.

 
The current time frame represents the work load we have in currently and is an estimate of when we will start work on your instrument. That does not mean it will be done exactly in that time frame.  Some repairs can take extra time due to some unforeseen issues and the wait time can fluctuate.  Anything that has finish work, extensive gluing, requiring specialized parts or custom parts may require more time and an estimate will be given after we have seen the instrument and have an idea of what it needs.
