Can a broken neck be repaired?
In most cases, yes. That depends upon the complexity of the break. Sometimes, it is a better to replace than to repair. Either way, you can enjoy your instrument again.
How long will the repair last?
Well, that depends upon what was broken and how it was repaired, but most repairs done by a professional luthier will last the lifetime of the instrument.
Can you fix an electric guitar?
Our speciality. We were playing, breaking and fixing guitars since the1970's. Shortly after receiving his first, Bob was learning how to fix it. Learning how to break it was easy. That what might have been the driving force behind his electronics engineering career.
What's the turnaround?
Most repairs can be ready in a few days. Most repainting can be ready within a few days also (additional coats wait for previous coats to cure and prep).
Do You Stand Behind Your Work?
We most certainly do, while most shops will give you thirty days, Gannon Luthier Services gives a 90=day warranty.
