Guitar Repair
Complete Guitar Repair Services
Gabriel’s Guitars is a full-service, brick-and-mortar guitar repair shop serving Spokane and the greater Inland Northwest. Our professional workshop is fully equipped to handle everything from routine maintenance to complex structural repairs. Whether your instrument needs a simple adjustment or extensive restoration, we provide careful evaluation, transparent recommendations, and consistent, high-quality results. Every repair is performed in a climate-controlled environment to protect your instrument and ensure lasting stability.
Professional Guitar Setups
A professional setup is the foundation of great tone and playability. Our guitar setups include truss rod adjustment, action optimization, nut slot refinement, saddle height adjustment, intonation correction, and full play-testing. Whether you play light fingerstyle, aggressive rhythm, or high-gain lead, we tailor each setup to your style and string preference. Spokane musicians trust Gabriel’s Guitars to keep their instruments playing at their best.
Fretwork & Refrets in Spokane
Worn or uneven frets can dramatically affect playability, tone, and intonation. We offer professional fret leveling, crowning, polishing, partial refrets, and complete refrets for both electric and acoustic guitars with options including Nickel, Stainless Steel, and Cryo. Proper fretwork restores smooth playability and eliminates buzzing or dead spots across the fretboard. Our Spokane repair bench is equipped with precision tools to ensure accurate results and comfortable, consistent action tailored to your playing style.
Finishing and Refinishing
We offer professional finishing and refinishing services for guitars that need cosmetic restoration or complete aesthetic transformation. From spot finish repair and clear coat touch-ups to full refinishes, our process prioritizes structural integrity, tone preservation, and visual craftsmanship. Refinishing work is completed in a controlled shop environment to ensure proper curing and long-term durability. We offer Nitrocellulose, Polyurethane, and Acrylic finish options, as well as oil-based and natural finishes.
Acoustic Guitar Crack Repair & Structural Work
Changes in humidity and age can lead to cracks, loose braces, and structural instability in acoustic guitars. We provide professional crack repair, brace repair, bridge re-gluing, neck resets (if applicable), and structural reinforcement from our Spokane workshop. Each repair is carefully evaluated to preserve tone, strength, and long-term reliability while maintaining the character of the instrument.
Amplifier Repair
In addition to guitar repair, we provide amplifier diagnostics and repair services in Spokane. From noisy pots and failing capacitors to power issues and component replacement, we carefully evaluate each amp to restore reliability and tone. Our brick-and-mortar shop allows us to properly bench-test amplifiers under real playing conditions to ensure dependable performance before they leave the shop. We primarily work on Tube amplifiers, but depending on the scope of the work, some solid-state amplifiers and effects pedals can be worked on as well.
