 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've taken at least 3 different guitars to Brooks and Co at Savannah Guitar Lutherie and he did a marvelous job on all of them. Mainly set ups. Some minor repairs. Can't recommend them highly enough. Sometimes it takes a little while to get things back but the wait is worth it. The word is out that they do great work there so I'll gladly wait a little while to get things done well. Super nice people here too. In addition to Brooks being incredibly nice, everyone I've dealt with there has been great. UPDATE 12/17/24: I’ve taken in two more acoustic guitars to get new pickups put in since the original review. Did a killer job on both of them. This is the only business in Savannah that I’ll bring my guitars to if they need work.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is a shoutout to Brooks, Trevor, and Joshua at Savannah Guitar Lutherie & Mercantile. In the past month I’ve been in a few times to have my ukulele and guitar set up and have only the brightest things to say about the experiences. Brooks, co-owner with Trevor, is super thoughtful and adept at managing multiple customers, phone calls, and deliveries all while still repairing guitars. The shop is welcoming and offers a fun place to meet and chat with musicians. As a woman who’s been playing music mostly solo for 20 years, this music shop is a breath of fresh air. I highly recommend Savannah Guitar especially for a guitar set up.

WE BELIEVE IN GOOD TONE!

Passion & Experience

We welcome your acoustic guitars, electric guitars, bass guitars, mandolins, and whatever else has rusty strings on it.

Guitar Setup $75

A professional setup can make a big difference in the playability, tone, and performance of your instrument. We will adjust your guitar’s relief, action, and intonation, ensuring that it plays comfortably, sounds great, and stays in tune. We can also diagnose and address any issues with your guitar, from buzzing and dead spots to tuning problems and more. Whether you’re a professional musician or just getting started, we’re here to help you get the most out of your guitar.

Fret Buzz?

When your instrument is set up properly your strings vibrate freely over the frets never making contact with them, but sometimes a string will vibrate against a fret causing an annoying buzzing sound. Whether it’s being caused by uneven frets, incorrect neck relief, worn parts, technique, or other reasons, the technicians at Savannah Guitar Lutherie and Mercantile can track it down and correct it for you.
