Luthier Services

​​Instruments can be dropped off and picked up at Bill's Music Shop. 

Is your instrument broken?  Do the frets buzz?  Is the intonation off?  Do you need new strings?  Other issues?  We can help!


  • Works on all stringed instruments - acoustic and electric.
  • Set up new instrument – just because it’s new doesn’t mean it’s ready to play.  Set up is based on individual’s playing style.  Action on new fretted instruments is generally high which equals difficulty in playing.  Makes sure the instrument is set up to play properly – intonation, fret buzz, tuning, etc…
