GUITAR SERVICE & RATES

EGW services both electric and acoustic guitars. We've even been known to work on the occasional banjo or autoharp. Utilizing 25+ years of industry experience, I commit to caring for your instruments like my own to keep you and your guitars center-stage where you belong.

 

The motto is simple: If I wouldn’t gig it, it’s not ready. Your guitar is an extension of you. It should play like it.

Below is a non-comprehensive list of the most commonly sought services. 

​

• Full Setup - $135

  (add $50 for guitars with locking tremolo systems)
  Restring, oil fingerboard, polish & tune, truss and saddle adjustment, inspection 
   

• Pickup / Pot / Switch install - $100

  Add $ for each additional component 

  ​

• Tuner replacement/upgrade - $100

​

• Nut install (hand cutting and shaping)​​
  6-String - $95
  12-String - $190

​

• Fret Regulation
  Full Re-fretting - $600
  Varies by type and material
  
  Partial Re-fretting - $400 base plus $10 for each fret
  
  Level, re-crown, and polish - $250​

​

• Hourly rate
  Most services are not billed hourly. I believe in outcome-driven pricing. There are exceptions. Complex repairs such as complete rewires or electronic diagnostics, headstock and neck breaks... use your imagination. If something is going to be billed hourly, I will communicate that upfront - or upon identification that it becomes necessary - and before further work is performed. That rate is $100 per hour. 

​

 

Parts and tax will be added to service charges below. Prices below are on a per instrument basis. Unless otherwise specified at time of service, guitars will be strung with S.I.T. strings for services requiring new strings.

​

In order to combat rising costs-of-doing-business and pass along that savings, EGW has transitioned to cash only service and repair transactions.
