Amplifier and Electronics Services
Our techs can service tube and solid state amps, speakers, mixers, keyboards, and lots more. Give us a call or just bring it in.
Our electronics service has a minimum non-refundable bench fee of $90. The bench fee covers initial diagnosis and inspection of the item to be serviced. In many cases, our techs can complete your repair for just the bench fee (plus parts) If not, we'll contact you with an estimate to complete the service. Our hourly rate is $90 per hour.
**Note** All prices listed are base prices for labor. They do not include parts, strings, tubes, etc.
Please bring your instrument in a case or bag. We are not responsible for accidental damage to naked instruments!
Electronics work on semi-hollow and hollow body electric guitars is more labor intensive and will cost more.
Schematics are not always available for electronics repairs, which may make problems too costly to troubleshoot and repair. Amplifier repair will incur our minimum bench charge even if the issue ultimately can not be fixed.
