Repair & Restoration

Repairs can come in many shapes, sizes and differing levels of complexity, from a re-fret or a neck replacement, to a complete overhaul.

At Chapel Guitars we can not only provide the means to repair and re-furbish instruments but also consult the owner about the various means and methods that are available and the relevant cost and time-frame involved with such proposals.

Below are a few repairs that have been made for customers, showing the improvement in condition with what in some cases required the smallest amount of work.

After: This procedure was neither time-consuming nor particularly costly for the client and yet it has made a huge improvment to the quality of the instruments asthetics, acoustic sound, and playing experience.
