If you are a musician in Alaska, you know Fairbanks is hard on guitars. We do
lots of repairs year round but Winter to Spring break-up is our busiest season when the
people of Fairbanks bring us many of their instruments for tune-ups or restorations. Our
standard shop rates for the most common repairs are listed below. Repairs can be
expedited for an additional fee. The folks in our repair shop do a great job getting your
guitar out of the winter blues; both playing and sounding sweet again.
