Monster Guitar enjoys a very busy repair shop schedule with dozens of guitars in for repair at any one time. Turn-around times are driven by the current  work load. Quality work in a timely manner is the goal. My customers say it is the number one reason for their return business. Clear communication is the best medicine. I am here to help!
