At Eastside Guitar Repair, we specialize in the repair and modification of nearly any fretted instrument. To ensure accurate quotes and personalized service, we encourage you to book an appointment for an in-person evaluation of your instrument.
Please note:
-
The prices listed are for guidance only and may vary after a full evaluation.
-
Most repairs have a turnaround time of two to three weeks.
-
Due to high demand, we operate by appointment only, so be sure to book online.
-
Customers are responsible for providing a suitable hard case or other protective case when leaving an instrument for service.
We look forward to helping your instrument perform at its best!
For ethical reasons or due to the complexity and time involved, we cannot repair or service the following:
-
Most "parts casters" (guitars assembled from mixed parts)
-
Blatant counterfeit copies of name-brand guitars
-
Ovation and Applause guitars
-
Tiesco instruments
-
Peavey instruments
Additionally, we cannot build "parts casters" using customer-supplied parts. These projects are often time-intensive, costly, and prone to issues with inconsistent components.
