Hours Away? States Away? Fine.
IF YOU CAN'T DRIVE IT, SHIP IT.
Players already drive in from all over New England. The ones who can't drive, ship. NYC, Boston, and well past both. The bench does not care what state the case came from.
Why People Ship Here
WORTH THE BOX, WORTH THE WAIT
Some repairs are worth doing right more than they are worth doing nearby. Headstock breaks, refrets, vintage restorations, and the kind of specialist Floyd work most local shops wave off: that is what arrives here by courier.
The process is simple and it starts with a conversation, so nobody ships a guitar we cannot help. Call or message first with photos. We talk through the problem, give you an honest read, and only then does the guitar get boxed.
Every ship-in gets the same documentation as a counter drop-off: photos on arrival, updates when the work uncovers anything, and a proper setup before it goes back in the case.
Door To Door
HOW SHIP-IN WORKS
1. Send Photos First
Call or use the contact form with clear shots of the problem. We confirm it is worth shipping before you pack.
2. Pack It Right
We walk you through packing: detuned strings, supported headstock, immobilized case. It matters.
3. Ship Insured, With Tracking
You ship to the shop insured for the instrument's value. We confirm the day it lands, with photos.
4. Bench Inspection & Firm Quote
Hands-on diagnosis, then a written quote. Nothing happens without your approval.
5. The Work
Same bench, same standards, same strobe-checked setup as every local job.
6. Return Trip, Insured
Packed the way we ship our own builds, insured and tracked back to your door.
