Took my 67 SG special in to fix a lifting fretboard. The guys are great, reasonably priced, and fixed the issue. Just dropped off my hummingbird to cleat the side. Again, quoted a reasonable price. Definitely take your guitars here! Edit: even better, just got my hummingbird back. They did a phenomenal job, even did finish touch up so you can’t tell it’s there!

Had repair, refret, and setup on vintage Gibson ES330. Fretwork was perfect. The nut I could have done a better job myself (placement and filing kind of sloppy but works), the setup was atrocious (bridge height and intonation just set randomly) but easy enough to adjust myself, but for the $ I spent I would expect a little better.

Questions & Answers

How much does plek leveling cost?

Nanch Blankenship | Oct 10, 2018

I've had 4 guitars PLEK'ed there. The PLEK plus the setup averaged out to $220.00. You do want them to do the setup post-PLEK to get the most out of the process. I'm very happy with the results.

I have a 1967 Gibson ES-355 TDC Mono, that I purchase in 1970 and I'm the third owner. I purchase it as is, with nickel and chrome hardware. I thought that all ES-355 came in Gold hardware?

Some of them did but I always thought the standard was nickel or chrome

How much to have a nut replaced? Is a new nut part of the plek process? Thanks.

Joe Glaser | Oct 9, 2020

Dax, a new nut is typically 80.00 and we do use the PLEK but also smooth and round the slot exits by hand afterwards. Turnaround is usually 7-14 days but rush service is possible if needed. Thanks

I have a takamine nashville series dreadnaut. Wondering how much a fret job will cost?

A refret (includes fret installation,fret dress, new nut, strings, setup) ends up being around $550.

I want to swap out two humbuckers. What is the charge and turnaround time for that? Thanks.

Joseph Greene | Oct 9, 2020
Glaser Instruments | Oct 9, 2020

We are at a 1 1/2 week turnaround for swapping pickups right now

Will Glaser allow me to ship my guitar to them for repair work?

Jason G | Oct 9, 2020
Glaser Instruments | Oct 9, 2020

Hey Jason, unfortunately we stopped doing that unless the customer can pick it up in person. We have had issues with shipping that have caused us to not longer do it. You are more than welcome to ship something to us, you just have to pick it up in person. That way if there are any changes that need to be made, we can do them on the spot and don't have to risk the guitar arriving unsatisfactory to you.

Is it possible to regret and plek a neck without the guitar body?

gary T'to | Oct 9, 2020
Glaser Instruments | Oct 9, 2020

Hey Gary, yes it is possible as long as it is a Fender style neck. We have to put it onto a dummy body with the same gauge strings as you would normally use. Let me know if you have any other questions.

do you have a base fee for pleking a 24 fret guitar? and can you give a ballpark est. on turnaround time for a plek job? thanks.

Brian Hulstrom | Oct 9, 2020
Glaser Instruments | Oct 9, 2020

Hey Brian, a Plek on any guitar with nickel silver frets is $150 and if it has stainless frets, then it is $200. Those prices do not include the setup which is additional $60 (with strings included). The turn-around time is about 2 weeks for a Plek and a setup.

My daughter's wood has cracked on her Cordoba. The Guitar Center recommended your business. Do you repair those types of issues?

Althea Lee | Oct 10, 2019
Glaser Instruments | Oct 10, 2019

Absolutely. You can come by anytime between 9:30 and 5:30 Mon thru Fri and we will look over it and give you an estimate.
