Lightning Joe's Guitar Repair
With well over 100,000 set ups behind him, Lightning Joe has been dubbed "The Man" by his peers... "I wish I knew this stuff when I was out gigging and touring"... His influences can be seen and felt in the improved feel and set ups of many manufacturers who have been inspired by his work, recognizing him as a master guitar technician (not to be confused with luthier) and employing some or all of his more progressive techniques and specs.
This shop's specialty is set ups and fixing problems everyone else seemed to miss. Your guitar will feel and play better than ever. All quotes are given on a case by case basis following a careful evaluation, however here's a list of some general charges:
