Apart from building instruments, a large part of my business is dedicated to instrument repair. I now handle all Stringed Instrument repairs for Aloha Music in Aloha, OR where I am quickly gaining reputation as one of the  premier repairmen in the Portland, OR area. In addition to repair work, I also Hot Rod guitars and basses with upgrades to hardware and electronics. From replacing strap buttons to replacing an entire neck, and anything in between.

Below is a list of price estimates for certain common repairs and modifications. Because it is often impossible to give an exact quote until the instrument is in hand and the exact source of the problem is known, all other quotes will be done on a case by case basis.

If you have an instrument that you would like to have me work on you can contact me or Aloha Music. Or you can leave your instrument with Aloha Music and they will handle the details.
