Since 1979, The Guitar Works, Ltd. has been helping musicians of all skill levels find that perfect guitar... their "musical soulmate", if you will. For those musicians who have already found the perfect guitar, we have one of the premier repair shops in the Midwest ready to repair and maintain your beloved guitars, amps, effects, and PA equipment. Our techs have almost 80 years of combined experience in guitar/electronic repairs, and have repaired the gear of everyone from students and weekend warriors to pro musicians. We have done business with/repaired the gear of Styx, Tesla, The Who, The Ramones, Jars of Clay, The Indigo Girls, Urge Overkill, Steve Goodman, John Prine, Jethro Burns, David Grisman, David Bromberg, John Hartford, John Fogerty, Los Lobos, Steve Albini, Smashing Pumpkins, Muriel Anderson, Chet Atkins, Eddy Clearwater, Lonnie Brooks, Son Seals, David "Honey Boy" Edwards, Buddy Guy, Mary Chapin-Carpenter, Jackson Browne, Bob Mould and Larry Coryell, as well as most every student, enthusiast and jobbing musician within a 50-mile radius of our store. We strive to offer the kind of quality merchandise that the big box stores have, but with a quality of service that is unmatched by their cold, faceless corporate culture. There are no "used car salesman" attitudes here, just real musicians who are knowledgeable, friendly, and ready to help you find the gear you need. We do not accept trades for Reverb listings or ship outside the US. Thanks for your understanding.
