FRETTED INSTRUMENT
REPAIR

At 5th Street Guitar Repair, every instrument deserves to play at its best. Whether it’s a guitar, ukulele, banjo, mandolin, violin, or cello, we handle the adjustments and fixes that keep your instrument sounding clear and feeling comfortable in your hands. From setups and fretwork to crack repairs, electronics, and hardware replacement, we provide honest, straightforward service so you always know what your instrument needs—and nothing more. Our goal is simple: to get you back to making music with confidence.

VINTAGE
RESTORATION

For vintage, heirloom, or well-loved instruments, restoration is about more than just repairs—it’s about honoring the history and craftsmanship behind the music. We take care to preserve original details whenever possible, while addressing deeper structural or cosmetic needs like neck resets, binding repair, or finish restoration. Every restoration is approached with patience and respect, balancing playability with authenticity so your instrument can continue its story for years to come. With transparency and care guiding the process, restoration becomes not just a service, but a way to give new life to a piece of your musical journey.

ACCESSIBLE PARTS

We believe quality should be accessible to every musician. That’s why we offer a carefully curated selection of fretted instrument parts—everything from strings and tuners to bridges and nuts—at fair, transparent prices. Whether you’re a hobbyist, a student, or a seasoned player, our goal is to provide the tools you need to keep your instruments in top shape, supporting your music and your community every step of the way.

Highly recommend! Took my Taylor 522ce to Tim. It had an ever-so-slight intermittent buzz that perplexed me. Concerned it might be a loose brace or kerfing? It ended up being a loose output cable. I was relieved. He got it done in a week even though I did not have a gig. I really appreciated that.

He attended a very good luthier school in Atlanta that I know of. He is knowledgeable and capable to do much more for you than I had him do. Tim is a really nice person to work with.

Did an amazing job on my custom made Coat of Arms Telecaster. Fixed a chip by the nut, and filled it in to level it out. Also fixed a fret that I could not get to level out. Top notch work. Plays like a dream now! I will be bringing more guitars to him soon for some bone nut replacements and pickup swap outs!

Client Review

My guitar had been sitting in the basement for several years and needed a new tunomatic bridge with tailpiece. Tim was able to order the necessary parts and finish the repair in about a week. He also thoroughly cleaned the guitar, and it's the most polished I've ever seen it. Tim is a knowledgeable luthier, and he puts a lot of effort and care into this work. Thanks to him, I can finally give my guitar a new life.
