"Guitars, basses and amps are taken in on a case by case basis. If your instrument is really messed up, I’ll do my best to tell you honestly what it needs and how much it may cost. Sometimes this requires me to take it home and look at it. Occasionally an instrument will be so damaged that repair is not even practical. Examples include: broken headstocks (the top where tuners are), necks, acoustics with soundboard or bridge damage, or missing or broken custom electronic parts. If I cannot get a required part or the repair exceeds what I can do with my tools and repair bench setup, I’ll let you know frankly as well.  If waiting on a price quote, a primary email to contact you would be very useful." -Mike Loce
