Very good. I had a strat style guitar set up and they did it right. Excellent fret leveling and polishing. I am glad I took this guitar here, and I highly recommend this shop. Professional, courteous, knowledgeable and fair price.
I took in my Epiphone Les Paul custom that had a broken head-stock. I thought it was beyond repair and was going to toss it but the guitar has sentimental value so I looked into a repair option. There were many options available but I decided to go with atomic guitar Works and I am not disappointed. When I picked up my guitar I was amazed at the craftsmanship provided by the luthier. I am 100% satisfied with the with the workmanship Provided by Atomic Guitar Works. The two gentlemen who were operating the shop are very knowledgeable and very customer oriented I would definitely recommend the shop to anybody in need of any sort of guitar repair no matter how big or small. Ive included pictures.
Absolutely amazing work done by the guys here. My dad had a custom 1970s Gibson Les Paul that when he remarried, his new wife took a hammer too and did horrendous work on it after one argument. When he passed it became mine and I had always wanted to get it fixed. I called Gibson Les Paul and they recommended I go here to get my guitar serviced and repaired. They fixed it within a few months which is completely understandable considering how extensive the damage was. When I got it back they have it looking and sounding like it is brand new. It was affordable and was way under what I expected to pay. If you need guitar repairs, go here. Thank you guys so much as looking at it reminds me of my dad and brings me to tears having it fixed up.
Tim is always full of information and willing to answer our questions. This is the 4th guitar we have taken to him. Great company!!
These guys are fabulous.... experts on repair, set ups etc.... I had to wait a little bit but people said they were the very best and they were right!
Expert advice, work quality and customer service. A very busy store but for good reason. They do spectacular work.
I took in my daughters Fender and the guys there were very nice and helpful.
You have been warned. They talked like they knew the product very well to build trust. They overpromised and underdelivered when I got my guitar back and still wanted to make excuses???, the work I asked for was clearly stated in the receipt.
Very nice experience. Friendly and knowledgeable people. Honest assessment of my guitar problem. Advised not to incur the cost of repair. Id go back to Atomic guitar for any future needs. Easy to find.
I just had a vintage Gretsch Nashville refretted and am very satisfied with the excellent quality of the repair and the friendly service. Highly recommended.
Very nice gentleman. Made us feel welcome. Good attention to detail
Love these guys. Deep knowledge of their craft and very cool cats as well.
I took my favorite guitar there the other day to have the frets leveled and crowned and to get it set up for drop A tuning. The fret work is well done and even though my guitar has a Floyd Rose floating bridge the set up they did makes the guitar feel very smooth and easy to play, even with the heavy 12 to 62 gauge strings they put on it. Thanks guys for doing such a good job. Highly recommend.
These guys worked on my 93 Martin D 16. Great workmanship. And, very knowledgeable.I will be back to give them my business.
Great staff they fix my guitar so fast.
These guys are great and know what they are talking about.
Total professionals. Expert advice and craftsmanship from one end of the guitar to the other. Also: excellent work on my five-string banjos and my acoustic guitar bodies. Friendly; no-nonsense; curious and helpful; prompt; completely reliable. A great asset for the Phoenix musical community. Any guitar issue, and Im running down to Atomic again...
I took a mid-level Martin to them with a crack. They humidified it to where the crack closed. They told me it was repaired but to be sure and keep it humidified. The fact is they humidified and the crack closed they didn’t do the repair but they charged me for it.
Always outstanding! Best doods in the business.
A great place for anything guitar!
Only place I would trust my guitar work to. Always do a great set up ans/or repair at a fair price. Great shop run by great guys.
Took in my old Yamaha FG340 for a set up not knowing if it would help but man they did a beautiful job I’m very happy with outcome they got the action just right and it sounds beautiful. I highly recommend them and I will definitely be using them for my future setups and guitar work 10 out of 10 thank you Guys very much sincerely Paul Valdez 😎
I have taken 5 guitars in for setups and they have nailed it 5 times. Highest recommendation.
Harry and Tim are great guys who know their stuff. Always willing to educate and give absolute prompt and thorough service! Thanks guys!
Got my guitar fixed up and gave some good advice.
These guys do great work.
Been to Atomic Guitar Work twice and have been very pleased with the experience and service!!!! I love supporting small community business, definitely will be going back for our instrument needs!
Brought my new Epi LP Studio in with fret buzz on 1E and 2B strings on lower frets..Tim took a quick look at it and said it justneeded minor truss rod adjustment.... whichhe proceeded to take care of promptly...Within 15 minutes my guitar was back to playing great... love these guys! Will not go anywhere else but Atomic Guitar Works!Thank You Tim!
Got me setup in no time. Definitely recommend
The folks at Atomic did warranty work on my new Jeff Beck Stratocaster. Yikes. Did the entire transaction with zero hassles, and ordered the neck. Once it came they put the neck on and did a perfect setup job! Stay tuned for Gibson Firebrand genius headstock repair.....thanks guys!
I have several of their custom built guitars and they are great... very solid instruments. In addition they restored my 63 Gibson SG with a gnarly neck break and it sings again... Tims restoration and repair talents are amazing...If you have an Idea for a guitar these cats can make it happen... From Tims attention to detail in what YOU want (from materials to styling)to Harry making sure you are hooked up with the electronics and hardware that suits your vision!
Super professional, fair, and skilled guitar repair. Been coming to these guys for years.
Tim got my Ibanezs truss rod back in order in less than 10 minutes, while running through each step with me. Awesome guy and conversationalist- youll learn a lot! Thanks Tim!
Walked in with my Epiphone Les Paul and a pickup problem that a neighborhood guitar tech could not solve. But he recommended Atomic. They did the repair on the spot and I walked out in 15 minutes.
Ive been going to these guys for about a year and a half now, finally decided to do a review on them, theyve always been extremely helpful, honest, and professional. They go way above and beyond to make sure that your guitar is clean and extremely playable, Ive had crappy guitars made into dream guitars, some of them were challenges, but they got through it and they got it done in a very timely manner, they do next day setups, not wait til next week or 2 weeks like other places do. They also build some of the best guitars money can buy! Give them a try and you will definitely not regret it. This is not an advertisement, this is coming from a REAL loyal customer!
The guy knew exactly what he was talking about. Id happily take the 35 minute drive there again.
Harry and Tim are amazing in their craft. No project is too big or too small for these guys.I highly recommend them for anything from a a set up to a custom build. They will not disappoint.
I normally do all my own guitar work, but when I need some serious surgery--like fretwork--this is the only place I go. Ive always been impressed, and always had great service.
Wow what a place! Great to work with. Took my MTD Heir bass in to have a Roland GK pickup (internal kit) installed and also a general setup. The bass turned out FLAWLESS!. It has never played better and the install was perfect.100% professional.. Thank you!!
Best guitar shop in town, Tim and Harry are definitely gurus for sure. They have always done quality work on everything I’ve brought in. Play one of their guitars when ur in there, they’re amazing.
After getting a ridiculous runaround from another shop in town, I took my Hummingbird to Atomic. They had it back to playing great in one day at a low price, and were very friendly and knowledgeable to boot. Wont take my guitars anywhere else! Best shop in town.
These guys Rock!They have done set ups and fretboard work on both my PRS SE Custom 24 and my American Strat. Couldnt be happier with the work. They also make some awesome custom guitars!
Bought a good amateur guitar for $150 and even gave me a military discount.
Ive been an avid guitarist for over 15 years- play on average 5-6 hours per day. Atomic Guitar is the only place I trust outside of Gibson, Martin, and Fenders factories to work on my instruments. These guys fixed a Les Paul for me that I had thought for a decade was unsalvageable. At times Ive wanted to pay for expensive aftermarket parts, Tim and Harry have shown great integrity by encouraging against modifications that wouldnt be good for the instrument even though they would be profitable to the shop. I happily make the hour long drive from east Mesa to ensure my instruments are worked on by people whose expertise I trust. There is no job I wouldnt trust these guys with.
Awesome honest these guys really know their stuffI will go back and spread the word around
Guitar plays better than new thanks to super fret job.
It was perfect..Really helped me find the right strings for my niece guitar..Ill be back...
Small but impressive guitar shop. Nice selection of after market parts and strings.
Seemed professional and knowledgeable looking forward to getting the finished product. Nice work on the walls, great looking guitars.
Just picked up my 2 guitars from these guys. All i can say is my guitars are playing better than when I first bought them. Thanks guys
Awesome shop...Tim and Harry have ALWAYS done excellent work on my guitars!!!
The guitar I had them work on now plays like I always should have; it feels like home. Outstanding job guys!
They are great! Real pros.
Excellent service! Very friendly and helpful and my acoustic sounds great.
Quick and accurate sevice!!
Excellent service on ES- 339 pickup selector switch! Kudos to Harry!
Great work. Awesome customer service. Endless knowledge.
Small, quaint little shop, but dont be fooled. Its because thats all the space they need to ply their trade. All I went in for was a simple re-string for my Schecter Demon, while bumping my gauge from 9-42 to 10-52. Yet when I got my guitar, not only was it re-stringed, but they fixed my fret buzz, and another issue with sound I was having! They also tuned it perfectly to what I play, without me asking. To top it off, they cleaned my guitar and got the hard to reach spots I was having trouble getting. All in all, they went above and beyond what I asked, at a great price. Thanks guys, my guitar sounds so beautiful with the new Daddario NYXLs, and she looks as gorgeous and deadly as ever! I will be returning here for any repair or customization I need in the future.
The guy set up my age string Ibanez RG 8 and my five string Music Man Stingray Bass to a level of perfection I had never seen. I will not take my instrument anywhere else.
My prs hasnt sounded as good since the day i bought it 15 years ago, thx for the repair guys!
Great service and patient explanations
Awesome! They have always been able to do what I throw at them at a reasonable price.
I give Tim and Harry of Atomic Guitar Works 10 stars !!!!!!!!!!Definitely recommended .......!!!!!!!!!!I brought my guitar in peices to Atomic Guitar Works and asked Harry if he could bring this back to Life. I expressed this had been given to me from my brother back in the 70s and has a lot of sentimental value to me. Harry asked me exactly what I wanted to do with it as I thought it would just become wall art instead of a functional guitar. Harry went through the electronics and made some excellent recommendations I was onboard to see this come to life once again.Harry and Tim brought it back better than I could have imagined.Not only does this Vox Electric play fantastic but looks incredible.(Maybe Atomic Guitar can post a picture of this ?. I would not mind at all.)A lot of work went into this and it shows. Harry also took pictures as it progressed back to Life... I am so truly grateful to Harry and Tim for there professional art, craftsmanship. Thank you Thank you !!!( I have since brought in two acoustics for some work with confidence of true professional work experience and ethics)Shawn Tedesco
