Merritt's Music Service is now an Authorized Taylor Guitar Service center!
Guitar repair has been a passion of mine since I began playing in 1983. Although I specialize in guitar repair, all stringed instruments are welcome. During my career I have had the privilege of working along with some of the top luthiers and guitar manufacturers in the world. My background also includes over 15 years experience working as a machinist and manufacturing engineer. Some of the services I offer range from basic setups to re-fret jobs, custom electronics, modifications, and complete vintage instrument restoration. All repairs are performed on premises by me and all work is 100% guaranteed to meet or exceed your expectations.
