I offer the following luthier services for acoustic (classical or steel string) guitars. You can drop off your guitar at my workshop in South Austin and pick up and pay when I’m done. Reach out to me using the contact form here.

• Restring with your choice of strings. You may bring your own or I can provide for cost of strings.
• Clean and wipe down instrument.
• Oil the fingerboard.
• Adjust truss rod if needed.

II. Action Adjustment – $60

• File existing nut slots or file saddle as needed to achieve desired action
• Polish nut or saddle as required

III. Fret Leveling and Re-crowning – $80

• Level frets
• Re-crown and polish frets to a mirror shine

V. Repairs to structure – $60 / hour
