GUITAR and BASS SET-UPS, REPAIRS and MODS.
Once again, it is winter set-up time for your guitars and basses. The cold winter weather has slowly changed your instrument from good playing to “not so good” and a seasonal set-up will put your instrument back to great shape.
Set-ups range in price; determined by what your instrument actually needs. I offer quick economy set ups-up to Precision/balanced Pro set-ups. Verbal options and estimates will be given after a FREE 45 point inspection has been completed.
Drop your instruments off at SSE Music anytime they are open, and I’ll get back to you with my thoughts and suggestions.
It’s also a great time of year to move forward with those upgrades and mods you’ve been thinking about. Whether it’s new pick-ups, or a refret, or locking tuners, I can help you and your project.

The shop has been VERY busy with hundreds of guitar repairs coming through. Two Nashville players and a great player from Peoria making the trip to get the “Tom special”, among many locals.
I’d like to thank all of you for the continued patronage and loyalty.

If your new or old guitars are not liking the cold winter weather and are not playing quite as good as usual, bring them in to SSE Music for Dr. Tom to give them a free evaluation. Preventative actions now could save big problems later.

The shop has a nice batch of projects this week. It’s always fun to take brand new guitars and turn them into great players. Some of these are also getting custom “hot rod” parts, that make them even better yet.
One again, thank you all for using my services here at SSE Music.

The shop continues to be very busy fixing and setting up guitars. I’d like to thank everyone for choosing my services.

The shop has been busy. Hundreds of guitars and violins coming through. It’s hard to keep up with making posts for all of the repairs. Here are just a few pictures of some of the recent guitars with repairs ranging from refrets, to builds, to electronic mods, to neck resets, and more.

Well, it’s been super busy in the shop since my last post. Over a hundred guitar repairs have crossed my bench since January. Thanks to all of you who use my services and that have referred new customers to me. I really appreciate it.
Here are just a few pictures of some of those guitars, including the first Strat I owned...I bought it new in 1984 and played it 11 years before selling it. I was happy to see the owner is caring for it so well.
