On Site Services Offered

We offer these services to anyone who either just wants one guitar checked out to make sure that it has not been refinished or suffered any damage to it (such as a broken headstock or neck), or to the discerning client who has a highly valuable instrument or collection of instruments worthy of an insurance valuation and who would like to keep a lasting record of his guitar or collection. A special price could be arranged for a collection of guitars.
