GUITAR SERVICE & RATES

Back to top

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

​

  • Fretting services (for an extra charge I will sit there and "fret" with you)

    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.

​

EGW has implemented a small $10 deposit at the time of booking - to be applied to your service. Why so little? Because it’s not meant for anything other than no-show deterrent. Skin-in-the-game does wonders for that. We all have busy schedules. If something comes up, just cancel 48 hours in advance and it will be waived. Simple.

 

Your service time is held for you and you only. It’s a respect and commitment thing. You get it.
