Repairs:

There are too many repairs to be done to list them all. We would consider that we are repairing an instrument when we are changing some broken parts or eventualy fixing some kind of damages made to it such as a broken headstock. Some parts, like the frets, need to be replaced or "leveled" every now and then because they get worn out by the friction of the strings.The better care you take of your instruments, the longer they will last and in the long run you d save some money... Look at this X-ray of a Silvertone s neck. A nasty but common "fracture" of the truss rod. I guess people are right to call us "guitar doctors" afterall ...

Wiring problems:

We can in most cases improve the shielding and of electrical instruments to reduce the " buzzing" issues of passive the magnetic pick ups. Sometimes, parts like pots, jack outputs, switches and selectors can get damaged and need to be replaced or fixed. I would personaly recommend to use high quality components over cheap pots and switches, they last much longer and are way more reliable it s way to actually save money in long term or intensive use of your instruments.

Most common repairs examples:

	Broken Headstock
	Cracks on the top back or sides of acoustic guitars
	Improve the shielding and grounding.
	"waxing" of noisy pick ups
	Changing / cleaning  pots, switches, jack outputs
	Fret Jobs and plaining frets
	Replacing damaged parts
