FAQ
How much will it cost?

Refer to the Services listed. I won't know the full picture until I've had a chance to evaluate your guitar on my bench. 

 

How long will it take to repair my guitar?

It  depends on the job as well as the workload of the shop but I can work around your schedule in many cases. Bear in mind, I don't rush any repair, as that only takes longer!

 

Do I have to leave my guitar, or can I drop it off when
you have an opening?

I need you to leave your guitar. I work on a tight schedule based on my booking calendar. 

 

Do you have loaner guitars?

I WISH I had a guitar collection that big, but then I'd have no room for anything else!

 

My Strat needs a refret. If I bring in just the neck, will that reduce the cost?

It's too important to me that you receive the very best refret possible and I can't guarantee that will happen if I don't have the whole guitar. It's not simply a matter of putting frets in a neck. To achieve the very best results, your neck absolutely must be evaluated under string tension before any work is done. To do anything else is selling yourself short. The reality is that someone like me, who does this every day, sees things with respect to the guitar's geometry that you don't. I can correct those things resulting in a much better outcome for you. My reputation is built on excellent work and I don't compromise on anything.

 

Do you offer expedited service?

If I have a slot available. The charge is 25% of labor.

 

When is the balance due?

Balances are due within two weeks of completion.

 

Can you store my guitar after the work is completed?

No. I have limited space. Instruments unpaid for and left over 30 days from the invoice date will be assessed a storage fee of $25/week and cash becomes the only payment option. Instruments left over 90 days from the invoice date become the property of Fretking Inc.
