Music Instrument Repairs
Jack Waldheim is a full time instrument repairman and part time luthier with 25 years experience!
We can help you with almost anything you need for your instrument. From basic restrings and expert setups, to fret leveling, refretting, any and all electronic repairs and almost any thing else you could need. We also specialize in ‘Hot-Rodding’ your guitar to get the best use of it as a musician! From custom pickups and wiring, to guitar customizations we can partner with you to help you achieve your dream instrument from one you already to own to one scratch!
We specialize in guitars but also fix mandolins, violins, banjos, and almost any other string instruments. And if, for some reason, we can’t do it in house, we can gladly arrange for an outside repair by someone in our network of repairmen and luthiers in the area.
We are proud dealers for Fishman Pickups & Amplifiers and WDMusic Parts & Accessories
