These prices are NOT subject to change without notice. If you are seeing this price list online, it is what I will stick to. I use a "no surprises" approach to my prices. If you are getting a refret, you will not receive a bill with an extra charge for a setup or anything else but strings or other obvious parts (fretwire is included in the labor charge).   If there are unforeseen circumstances where the quoted price would not cover the labor required, I will contact you before proceeding.  You may notice that many repairs are quoted as including a full setup.  This is usually because the repair involves enough disassembly of the guitar that I end up doing the amount of work in a full setup, and I can't seem to help but check over all of the deatils anyway.  If there is a reason that you want a specific repair without a full setup, I can work that out too.  If you need a repair that is not on this list, go ahead and contact me about it.  I may be able to help.
