The Guitar RX: Your Trusted Shop for Guitar Repair, Restoration, and Custom Builds
A great guitar is more than just wood, strings, and electronics—it’s an extension of the player. Whether your instrument needs a simple setup, a full restoration, or a custom modification, The Guitar RX is here to help. Based in Ventura, California, we provide expert guitar repair services for musicians of all styles and skill levels.
Why Professional Guitar Repair Matters
Over time, every guitar undergoes wear and tear. Frets wear down, electronics develop issues, and finishes can become damaged. While some players attempt DIY fixes, nothing compares to the precision and expertise of a professional repair. At The Guitar RX, we bring decades of experience in luthiery and electronics to ensure your instrument performs at its best.
Our services include:
Guitar setups: Adjusting action, intonation, and neck relief for optimal playability.
Fretwork: Leveling, crowning, and refretting for smooth, buzz-free performance.
Electronics repair: Fixing or upgrading pickups, wiring, and controls.
Structural repairs: Headstock breaks, cracks, and neck resets.
Custom modifications: Pickup swaps, hardware upgrades, and personalized builds.
Amp repairs: Diagnosing and fixing tube, solid-state, and hybrid amplifiers.
Other stringed instrument repairs: We service bass guitars, mandolins, and other instruments with expert craftsmanship.
Restoration & Refinishing: Bringing Vintage Guitars Back to Life
Vintage guitars tell a story, but years of use can leave them with worn-out frets, cracked finishes, or dead electronics. Our restoration services carefully preserve the character of your instrument while making it playable again. Whether it's a 1950s Gibson Les Paul or a 1970s Fender Stratocaster, we ensure that your guitar retains its history while performing like new.
Need a new finish? Our refinishing services can restore a classic look or give your guitar a bold new aesthetic. Using professional-grade lacquers and nitrocellulose finishes, we replicate vintage styles or create custom designs to match your vision.
