Sean is the best. Modified wiring, complete setup, and even leveled some uneven frets. Definitely worth the wait, guitar plays better than ever and I wouldnt take an instrument to anyone else. Highest recommendation for quality work.

Sean did a fantastic job refretting my husbands 1971 Gibson SG-250! We were both impressed with his attention to detail regarding every aspect of the guitar. We wont be taking our guitars anywhere else from now on!

Ive taken so many of my instruments to Sean and he has breathed new life into each of them. Most recently a cheapo Sterling St. Vincent that seemed beyond hope of ever being an enjoyable guitar to play, just doomed from the factory and neglected before I purchased it off Reverb. I just jammed on it for hours and I freakin love it. Hes also straight up put together a custom Dan Armstrong Bass VI a few years ago for me and its still crushing along with near-perfect intonation, which if you know anything about the VI is an insane feat.If you want your guitar or bass to play as best it can, you really have no other option. 🤘

Sean so sorry it took so long. HEY FOLKS !! If you are looking for a good honest fella that does phenomenal guitar repairs this is the place. Had a serious issue with a lovely guitar. Difficult tedious detailed repair work done in good time. OMG cant rave enough. Thank you sir.

Took in an old faithful Strat to get some wiring cleaned up, a new nut, and a good setup. It took a few weeks, because Sean is very busy! Once I picked it up and talked with Sean about all the specifics I could see why he is so busy. Great work, intense attention to detail, very reasonable prices make Sean and the Guitar Repair Co. the go to for all your guitar needs.

I took my husbands beloved old Gibson in for a tune up and some general TLC, and the experience could not have been better. Store owner Sean was extremely knowledgeable, kind, and helpful throughout the whole process and the cost was very reasonable. Definitely a great value for great service, 5 stars all the way!

I had an old vintage 12-string that needed some work to get into playing shape. Sean was super honest with me about the state the guitar was in, helping me understand exactly why the work he did was so necessary, and he was honest about what long-term work the guitar would need in the future. He added extra touches and took painstaking care to ensure that it was in playing condition. All around, Sean is an overall good dude who really knows his stuff. Ill definitely be taking my guitars to him whenever work is needed.

Sean offers reasonable prices for excellent work. He explains the why and how behind everything he’s doing and makes the process very easy, even for beginners. Highly recommend.

My SG with Maestro was having fits and had stumped a couple other repair techs. Sean was able to straighten out the issue and took the time to explain each step in the process. He returns phone calls, hits deadline, and takes the time to make sure that youre happy with the repair. Top notch professional.

Excellent work! Great prices! Will bring my other guitars here.Thanks Sean!My Telecaster plays great!

Sean has been very skillful, knowledgeable, and dedicated in setting up and adjusting my guitars.In addition, Sean is very personable and I trust him.Robert

Will cost a lot of money and will take forever. This is the place to go for quality care of your guitars. Sean knows his stuff.

Terrific service, extremely knowledgeable, very personable. Class act. Really appreciate having a solid luthier in town!

Very knowledgeable. Very good quality work. Competitive in cost with others. If the quality of the work matters to you then go here. There is no guesswork regarding if it will be done right and that kind of peace of mind can hardly be found anywhere anymore.

Sean set up a slew of guitars for me and recommended a few alterations (e.g. nut replacements). Everything came back high-quality and wonderfully playable.

The owner is super knowledgeable and very friendly. This was my first time using him and Ill be sure to take all my other guitars to him for future needs.

Sean rehabbed a neglected Les Paul for me that was in need of some serious attention... he exceeded expectations, delivered on time and was great to talk to.

Sean is one of the best in the business. He truly cares about the instrument and puts in the time and consideration to get it playing exactly how you would like it to play. Very detail oriented and offers great suggestions if you are unsure of certain things. His time and service is worth every penny and more.

Great dude. Set up and fixed my guitar beautifully. Up front and explained everything clearly. Awesome place to have repairs done. Highly recommend.

By chance, I first met Sean at another guitar repair store, and some nearly 10 years later, I still trust Sean with my guitar repair and setup needs. I always receive the best service and advice from Sean. I trust no other for bass repair and setup needs.

Sean Bowers is a an absolute professional, and will get you the best possible results. No need to look anywhere else

HAD AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE! Took my guitar in with some action and string height issues, and it is honestly more playable now than it ever was before bringing it in! Sean is amazing and knows so much!! Will recommend to all my friends & if god-forbid I have to have something else repaired, Ill definitely be coming back!!!

Sean is now the only person Ill take my guitars to. His craftsmanship is impeccable. He did a whole new wiring harness, levelled the frets and set the guitar up perfectly based on what we talked about in two sentences. It plays so, so beatifully and sounds pro. This guy gets guitar players as well as he gets guitars. Just over-the-top great, all the way around.

Sean gives honest assessment of condition and needs. Sean delivers the highest quality craftsmanship and top notch repair!

Shawn does excellent work.

Perhaps the best guitar repair in the midwest. Sean’s sense of detail and understanding of how a guitar works is unparalleled. He is willing to go the extra mile to make sure everything is done exactly right.

Excellent attention to detail! A great small business!

Sean Bowers is a superior luthier; not just in expertise but in his interaction with his clients. Sean gives that little extra in every aspect. Before he begins work on a guitar, he takes the time needed to be clear on the customers objectives for the instrument and makes recommendations to help ensure that the guitar is the best it can be. He clearly explains the work that hell be doing (or has done), and the reasons for it. I learn a few things from him every time I do business with him. In this day and age, its really refreshing to deal with a truly competent pro like Sean.

Sean does amazing work. Prices are what youd expect to pay a pro and worth every single penny. One of the rare guitar techs who can actually setup a Floyd correctly. Highly recommended.

Sean is one of very few people I would trust with guitar work. He has a comprehensive understanding of the guitar and is able to explain technical things in a way thats easy to understand. Nice guy too!

Fair, friendly and knowledgeable. Gave me a fair price on setting up the guitar. Advised me up front that repairing my guitar is not worth the price for the original price of my guitar. Even gave me buying advice for a new used guitar.

Sean offered exactly what I was looking for to repair a very old guitar. He was upfront about the potential work that needed done, and most of all I could tell he was passionate about his craft. The result exceeded expectations and I will definitely use him again in the future.

Sean did an amazing job with a custom nut replacement and set up on my Gibson. Wonderful action and a joy to play. Highly recommend Sean for his craftsmanship, attention to detail, and professionalism. Thanks Sean!

Sean has always taken great care of me and my guitars. He knows exactly what I want in my setups and builds and it’s always spot on!! He does great work!

Sean has worked on my guitars for a little over two years since I relocated back from San Francisco to Columbus. Without question, Sean is one of the most talented and detail oriented luthiers I have ever met. He’s seriously that good. Whether your a pro, hobbyist, or just starting out, you need to go to see Sean and hear what he has to say about your axe and what he recommends for your play style. There are others in town that are okay, but really, Sean is head and shoulders above every other luthier I’ve worked with in Columbus : )

Sean could not be more knowledgeable about guitars and the challenges that they sometimes encounter. I would, and have, trusted him with my most prized possessions.

Sean is the best. He puts up with my awful tunings and finicky instruments and sets them up perfectly. The only place I go.

Simply one of the best. Hes THEE guy.

Amazing work. He brought my old Ibanez back to life.

The best place to get your guitar worked on.

Great and Honest work on high end stringed instruments. Highest Ratings!!!

Ive know Sean for quite awhile. He does great work.

Wonderful work done and super advice!!!

Great service

The best in the city!

Sean is the best!
