kerfCare

It should be abundantly clear by now that we want you to be happy with every guitar you get from us. As long as you own it, we want to help you take care of it and do what is needed to keep it in your hands making music.

I call this my Guitar Tech For Life program. If you purchase a kerf guitar, I'll work on it for you, for free. 

Of course, it starts with making everything as right as we can before you even take the guitar home. But strings wear out and parts sometimes get broken. Don't leave it in the corner, just bring it by. That's the only "catch" -- you have to get it to me. That said, I like a road trip and I have worked on guitars in hotel rooms, so I can be flexible on what "getting it to me" looks like.

The labor is free (but the parts are not). Don't like changing your strings, just drop it by and I'll swap them out (you pay for the strings, but I'll put the new ones on and check the setup for free). Decided you want to play slide on it? Bring it by and we'll raise the action. New pickups? You get the idea. In any case, we'll be clear about the costs, if any, up front. 

Oh, and we'll lend you a loaner if you'd like one while we have your other kerf.

This kerfCare promise is good as long as we are still in the guitar making and improvement business. We're also happy to work on other guitars at ridiculously good prices, just ask. We enjoy the work and want you making music.

Every good deal has exclusions. Excluded from this are at least (1) work that we don't do and (2) refinishing. For example, we don't currently do headstock repairs or complete refret jobs. If you love your kerf, but wish it was purple, I'm not going to completely disassemble it and refinish the body for free. I would do it, but not for free, as it isn't a repair nor a tech job.
