Guitarley's

Guitarley's Certified Luthier services- Custom instrument builds, repair, & restoration. Now by appointment only. Guitarley's is owned and operated by Sean Farley.

Guitarley's is a place for hobbyists to professional musicians to bring any and all guitars, basses, banjo's, mandolins, or instrument with strings on it. I offer free evaluations and consultations in order to make the customer aware of any issues with their instrument(s) and effectively resolve them. Whether it's a broken string, action that causes poor playability, electronics that make an inapp

ropriate sound, or a neck that has been broken in two, I'd love to counsel and remedy your issue. Guitarley's is also the place to get that custom one-of-a-kind guitar you have been dreaming about! I will be taking on as many custom builds as I can. Let me make you a guitar that fits your style, look, and physical specifications, plays better than any other guitar you've ever had, and makes people say "wow, what kind of guitar is that!?"

In general, just grab a guitar and come down and talk about it and maybe even jam a song or two with me!

1965 Gibson SG Special and 1971 ES 330 TD Walnut with Trapeze bridge. Both of these vintage beauties are consigned for sale!

1965 Gibson SG, serial # 324269 with a “2” (factory second) has some great finish wear from years of play. It has the Maestro Bridge, but missing the tremelo arm. The frets are in excellent shape, electronics are fully functional and appear to be original. I’m not sure the case is original but it fits the period. I gave this a good run through and it plays and sounds fantastic!

1971 Gibson ES 330 TD, serial # 763943 is in excellent condition with a plush purple lined original case with “The Graceland” placard. The frets are worn pretty flat, but it still plays great! Some new frets would a lot of years of prime playability. Walnut finish, Trapeze bridge, with chromed P90 dog ear pickups. Still have to give this a nice set up and run through, but it already sounds and plays great!

Hey all! I’ll be in the shop tomorrow on Saturday, 12/06, from 12-4pm. We’ll call it a “set up Saturday”.

If you’d like any stringed instrument set up, I’ll do my best to do right then and there. If you have a more complicated project, this is a great time to get a quote and drop it off.

Also. If you’d like a gift card for any amount I’ll be happy to do some work for your special someone as a Christmas gift this year! 🎁 🎄

This is one of the worst headstock repairs I’ve ever seen! This was done by a “professional” at large music store. I’ve seen some pretty bad DIY repairs, this is objectively bad work, and it was unethical to charge someone for it. The glue joint is terrible. The filling of gaps is terrible. The tuners they used are the wrong size and type, so they’re all loose and not hold tune. The saddle doesn’t fit and is not in a place where intonation will be accurate at all.

I’m proud to be a CERTIFIED Luthier. CERTIFIED!!! As in, Roberto-Venn School of Luthiery and the International Guild of Luthiers officially proclaimed that I was formally trained, and passed the test of knowledge and skill.

Dear Gibson guitar company. You need to redesign your necks. You’ve ALWAYS needed to redesign your necks. I’ve glued hundreds of them back together, after they easily break in roughly the same spot. Look how little wood there is around the truss rod opening! There’s 1/16” of wood, which is a non-structural amount for a high tension area. This cannot hold 200lbs of tension for long.
