The highly-skilled luthiers in our repair shop are now available for fretted instrument repairs. We remain a small shop and cannot take on everything, but we are happy to help you with setups, pickup installations, re-frets, fret dressing, neck resets, crack repairs, binding re-glues, tuner replacement, wiring or re-wiring, and other work on acoustic and electric guitars and basses, banjos, mandolins, and ukuleles.

In order to provide an accurate quote for cost and repair time, instruments need to be left with the shop for a full evaluation. The repair shop is usually available during regular retail hours, Tuesday through Saturday, from 10:30 until 6:00, but tend to be busy on Saturdays and during lunchtime.

For restringing of a guitar, mandolin, banjo, or ukulele, please call us at (206) 634-1662 and schedule a time to drop your instrument off with us. Instrument restringing is performed by our expert retail sales staff and includes inspection for possible repair needs and light cleaning. Restrings are performed on a next-business day basis, with a minimum labor fee of $30.

Repairs on Dusty Strings harps and hammered dulcimers are arranged through our instrument building workshop. To learn more or submit an inquiry, please click here.
