Guitar Repair Long Island

Throwback Thursday: Early days working from a repair bench setup in the kitchen of my one bedroom basement apartment. So thankful that my landlords were cool and didn’t hassle me about strange men showing up with guitar cases at weird hours.

Give the gift of good tone this holiday season! Every $100 gift certificate purchased includes our new T-shirt FREE! Available through December 31st. In store only, while supplies last.

The frets are practically falling out of this one.

Look how much the shrinking pickguard was warping the top on this old @guildguitars #guildf50

And the award for most Rube Goldbergian truss rod adjustment design goes to...

It is with great sadness that I share the news that my friend and mentor, Richie Johnson passed away this morning. I don’t have the words to express how much this man means to me personally and the gratitude I feel for the privilege to know and learn from him all these years. Without him and Tony taking me under their wings many years ago, there simply would not be a Guitar Repair Long Island. Richie, I hope you knew what you meant to your friends. You will be sorely missed.

We were happy to be able to get this old @gibsonguitar J-50 back in one piece on a budget.

This @gibsonguitar L5 is ready for the band stand after a fret level, new @tonepros bridge, and a setup with @thomastikinfeld strings!
