Price list for Acoustic Guitar repairs

I hand build my guitars one at a time. Giving close attention to what the customer wants in his or her guitar. I use only the highest quality woods and materials for each instrument.

Although I am not what you would call a well known builder, the quality of my work is excellent.I am building instruments more the satisfaction I get from producing a great guitar than the moneys I receive for the work. In that way we can both benefit from the experience. Me from the building experience and you when you get your one of a kind instrument
