Contact Weston Instruments
Thank you for your interest in my services. I am lucky to be a very busy shop, but that can have the consequence of me spending to much time answering calls and emails, and not enough getting the work done on your instruments. For this reason, I have put together a short FAQ. Please read it carefully before emailing, as I will only answer questions that aren't already answered here. This allows me to spend more time at the bench, which means faster turn around times!
Frequently Asked Questions:
When can I bring in my instrument?
The work shop is Stricly by Appointment Only. The appointment calendar is currently full until late March 2025, so I am not adding any appointments to the schedule until this run of instruments is completed. If you would like to make an appointment for the next run, please send me an email bellow with a short description of what you would like to have done, and I can add you to the mailing list. You would receive an email when the schedule re-opens and will be able to make an appointment online. It's hard to predict when exactly this will be, given the unpredictable nature of the work that comes in. Maybe late March, or early April 2025. But, I will for sure re-open the schedule again, since I'm too young to retire :)
If you would like to schedule an appointment, please get in touch after going over the FAQ.
How much will the service cost?
Our most common repairs are listed on our pricing page, right here. If what you are looking to have done is not listed on that page, you will have to bring your instrument for an evaluation, which is free and done on the spot at the counter during your appointment. Estimates cannot be provided via emails and pictures.
When will my guitar be ready?
Setups, fretwork, playability issues, hardware and electronic component replacement/modification as well as regular acoustic repairs (bridge re-glues, loose/broken braces, cracks) are our most requested services. I try my best to turn these types of work orders around as quickly as I can. Currently, they’re ready for pickup a week to two weeks after drop off.
More complex projects like structural repairs, cosmetic repairs and modifications requiring serious alterations to a guitar (think neck reset, or installing a Strat style tremolo on a Tele) are quoted once the project is received. Given that these vary greatly in nature, and the amount of these coming in is also uneven, turn around times will vary through the year.
Can you service my guitar while I wait?
I am sorry, this is not possible.
I'm looking for information on "name an instrument topic". Can you help me?
I appreciate your curiosity and enthusiasm, we share the same passion, but I'm a Luthier, not a search engine. You will have to find your own sources of information if you're doing research.
We do not sell any contact information to any third parties. We keep all such information confidential. The shop is under 24/7 monitored camera surveillance.
