The guitar doesn't make noise unless I bend the plug-in. What's wrong with it?

If referring to the guitars "jack" it might be a loose solder connection or possibly the jack itself. Call Mike up. He'll probably have to take a look at it first to diagnose. He is thee best and nicest guy. I take all my basses there for repairs. Hope this helps!

Vibrates,static noises from guitar, loose wire?

William Tidwell | Nov 3, 2018
John H | Nov 3, 2018

Mike should be able to repair or replace an old wire within a couple of hours. But if it's a pickup or mic (for an acoustic), you might have to wait for parts.

Does this place refinish guitars?

Dan Hayes | Nov 3, 2018
John H | Nov 3, 2018

Yes, but he's very picky, because he wants them to come out better then new. He's repaired head stocks on 4 of my guitars over the years. The best is to call and tell him what your desire is.

Can you check & repair the action on a 1972 Guild D-50 ?

You will have to call Mike directly at 248-545-5460 as it may depend on what needs to be done.

Needing a refret done on my Stratocaster. Want to switch to stainless steel frets. Is this something you'd take on?

Yes, he's done work on all my 7 Guitars!! He's the Best!!!!

I just bought my 15 year old daughter her first guitar a month or 2 ago. It’s a Yamaha fg800. I wanted to get it setup and I was wondering how much it would cost and if it’s even worth it since the guitar itself only cost $200.

Most shops charge around 60 bucks to do a set up. It looks like from a comment to a question below that this gentleman is around 65 dollars.

Can they finish a unfinished guitar? I have a project that has been stained but I want a clear gloss finish. Is this possible for Th em to do?

Approximately how much does it cost for new strings on a five string acoustic and getting it tuned

Gracie Smith (WeneTheMarvelous) | Nov 3, 2019
Michael Gray | Nov 3, 2019

$65.00, but you provide your type and flavor of strings! He also will do neck setups as well, if necessary! Best Guitar Luther around!

How much would it cost to replace the nut on an Austin 12 string acoustic?

mark kregear | Nov 3, 2018
Kevin Carter | Nov 3, 2018

Give Mike a call. He will tell you if it is a standard service or if he needs to see the guitar to price it. I have always found his prices to be reasonable.

Can I get a re-fret done here?

Wayne Ferris | Nov 3, 2018
David Judge | Nov 3, 2018

I watch them re-fret an acoustic guitar when I was at the repair shop. I would say yes but it's always best to confirm with Mike directly. Give them a call.
