This place is staffed with knowledgeable people who get the work done quickly and at a reasonable price.I always recommend them to all my musician friends
Gary Brawer re-fretted my Fender Silver Anniversary 1978 Strat. The work was excellent. I feel as though I just took it off the music store rack. I love my strat because of him. I have a brand new Silver anniversary strat because of Gary Brawer. 2nd Strat! Gary put a Floyd Rose locking tremolo on my 2017 strat I bought brand spanking new. The tremolo was gold so he thru a gold jack plate and re=fitted the guitar with gold screws. He tossed that in Gratis. The new Action on the strat greatly surpasses what the factory had set.My strat can dive -bomb and come back in tune.Dear Gary, please do not ever retire!
Superb staff! Gary Brawer is the Man. He is also a really nice man. All of my guitars (a lot) have been to Gary and staff. Gary is now kind of a celebrity in the guitar tech world, but is still the same, great guy he always was! I only take my Guitars here......simply the best.
Garys the best guitar tech... this is an authorized Fender repair shop that gives it to you straight. Its also fun to check out all the sweet guitars and amps for sale, they have way more than whats listed on the website.
These guys are the BEST. Been going for several years, brought several of my instruments, their work is TOP NOTCH. Their service is TOP NOTCH. Friendly as could be, they bend over backwards, and deliver just ace, ace work. One minor thing: they do sometimes take longer than they say or predict, so please be patient, and understand that if this happens, you will get stellar work done if you can hang in there. Completely worth it though.
Best repair shop Ive been to! All the guys are easy to talk to. They did an amazing job on my 77 Artisan. Re-fret, replaced inlays, new nut, pickup swap - perfect!
Geoff Gould, of G. Gould basses, founder of Modulus, referred me to Gary Brawers store and I now know why! They are truly amazing. Fernando took my call, did not pass me off, and searched for two tiny spacers I needed for my Modulus TBX low B Gotoh tuner. He found them, and stopped to mail them to me NO CHARGE! Talk about a culture or YES, NO PROBLEM! I am amazed and thankful! 5 STARS!
They do excellent work, and are extremely helpful. Every guitar that I have brought to them has come back playing a million times better. Would recommend to any and everyone.
I really appreciate the work these guys do. I will bring all my guitars here, no question. I recommend them to every guitarist I meet. Gary is a great guy, and everyone Ive talked to at this shop has been very helpful. They go out of their way to make sure you get exactly the performance you need from your instrument.They did a fantastic neck reset for me on a 1975 acoustic, and it is now my favorite and most comfortable acoustic to play. I cant say enough good things about this shop; Ill be bringing two more of my guitars in soon!
Friendly, helpful staff that does great repairs and mod work at reasonable prices. Given their excellent reputation among professional guitarists, they could charge a lot more, but they dont gouge their customers. Also, although they are always very busy, theyll take the time to help customers figure out what they really want or need done. Theres no arrogant BS either, unlike many guitar shops.
The go-to place for guitar and bass work in SF. Situated in Real Guitars, a very cool used guitar store.
This is the best place to go in the bay area if you want your guitar or bass worked on. Gary and his team do a great job.
They repaired my guitar for free. Such wonderful people!
From Fernando all the way to the top with the owner Gary. Top Notch product knowledge and customer service skills. Finished a job on my bass in record turn around time. I didnt forget about you either Mike.
Had an Am Fender neck replacement done by Gary Brawer. It took a little longer than Id hoped but came back flawless. Verdict: Worth the wait.
Cant imagine anyone would give less than five stars to this store. I would give six, if that was possible. Took in a 93 fender p bass deluxe with a broken pickup and issues with the electronics. Both times I went to the shop everyone there was extremely knowledgeable and yet was very cordial. The final cost was extremely reasonable and the bass didnt play this good when new. Cant recommend this shop enough. Special shout out to Fernando. Best customer service ever and a lot of fun as well.
Masterful job on a complicated repair on an aluminum neck Kramer. Plays better than new.
Service sucked on phone and in person, took 6 months to fix some, not all, of my 5 guitars. Not recommended at all.
Small hole in the wall store. Parking can be an issue But Gary has been there for as long as i can remember. He and his staff are super curtious and friendly. Needless to say that they know their stuff. The best in the area! I trust no one else in handling my guitars.
Great guys - knowledgeable, excellent advice, helpful an VERY reasonable prices! Best guitar repair shop!!!
Great guys and a great service. They managed to fit in a same day job for me with very short notice. Can fully recommend the quality of their work.
Had to replace the neck on an early 90s MIJ Fender Stratocaster 62 Reissue. Extremely happy with the results...replacement and set-up exceeded my expectations. This place is fantastic, both the repair work and the customer service!
A hard 2 find master built custom shop to make your axe sharp
This place has the best staff and does the best job with your guitars, hands down.
Spoke to Gary in person. Staff knows a ton about how Graphtech Ghost saddles and he helped me out a ton in troubleshooting. Great place!
Amazing service. The guys at this shop are so knowledge and nice.
Hands-down the best place in the Bay Area to have work done on your guitar.
Always take care of me and give me knoledg everytime Ive come in.
A top notch repair shop !
I have taken my guitars here for years, and the quality of workmanship is the BEST!It is worth it.
I never get my guitars repaired or setup anywhere else.
Big help for a guitarist
Expensive, but excellent.
