Why Choose Burget’s for Guitar Repair?
Guitar repair is often a mix of measurable corrections and small judgment calls. At Burget’s Piano & Guitar Service, the focus is on getting the instrument back to a condition that feels consistent and performs as expected. Sean Burget’s background as both a technician and a working musician helps turn your feedback into practical shop solutions, including dialing in action, intonation, and electronics so the guitar matches how you actually play.
Repairs are scheduled by appointment, which allows the work to stay thorough and unhurried. You will get clear recommendations, an explanation of what is needed, and pricing confirmed after evaluation. Whether you play classical, jazz, rock, or folk, the goal stays the same: a guitar that plays cleanly, holds up, and feels right.

honest guidance
Personalized Attention for Every Guitarist
The repair process begins with a short conversation about what you are hearing and feeling. Are you chasing cleaner fretting, lower action, more stable tuning, less buzz, or quieter electronics? Are you preparing for a show, recording, or simply trying to make the guitar more comfortable day to day?
From there, we address the specific causes, including buzzing, high action, tuning instability, dead notes, scratchy pots, intermittent signal, or hum. The goal is not to “overcorrect” a guitar into something unfamiliar. It is to make it dependable, playable, and aligned with how you use it. You will receive honest guidance, transparent pricing, and workmanship that respects both the instrument and the player.
FAQS
Guitar Repair: Frequently Asked Questions
What information should I include when I request guitar repair?
Share the guitar type (acoustic or electric), the symptoms you notice (buzzing, high action, tuning issues, noisy electronics), and any goals such as “lower action,” “better intonation,” or “stage-ready reliability.” If you have a deadline, include it as well.
Do you handle both setup work and deeper repairs in the same appointment?
Yes. Many guitars need a setup plus one or two targeted fixes. After evaluation, we’ll outline what’s needed and confirm pricing before moving forward.
How does the estimate process work for guitar repair?
You can contact us first with a description for an initial idea of scope. Final pricing is confirmed after a hands-on evaluation in the shop, since condition and prior work can affect the repair plan.
What’s the typical turnaround time for common repairs and setups?
Many repairs and setups are completed within about a week. More involved work, such as structural repairs or restoration, may take longer. Timing is discussed after evaluation and depends on the work required.
Is guitar repair handled by appointment only?
Yes. Guitar repair is scheduled by appointment so the shop can plan for intake, evaluation, and bench time. You can book online or contact us directly to request a slot.
Can you accommodate rush guitar repair for a performance date?
Priority scheduling may be available at a premium rate depending on the type of repair and current workload. Contact us with your deadline and we’ll discuss realistic options.
