EGW services both electric and acoustic guitars; even 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.

 

My 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 commonly sought services as well as important service-related info.

• Refinishing
  ​​Bolt-on: $1000
  Set-neck: $2500
  There are several considerations for refinishing that will be addressed specific to your project, but this gives you a starting point.

​

• 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. 
   

• Fees and Payment Methods​
  Parts and tax will be added to service charges below. Prices above 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.
  
  Strictly for security, EGW is a cash free business. Please bring a credit card. If you need to pay in cash, we will make an accommodation, but please call before picking up so we can give you the total and you can bring exact change.
