Carter Vintage Repair Shop

Welcome to the New Era of Guitar Care: CVG Repair Shop Expands with Expert Setups and More!

Carter Vintage is thrilled to be open for outside repairs! If you’re a fan of the warm, rich tones of vintage guitars, hopefully you’re already familiar with our dedicated team. Over the years, we’ve built a reputation for restoring, repairing, and preserving those legendary instruments that deserve nothing less than expert care. From headstock repairs to intricate body crack fixes, refrets, and even neck resets, we’ve been honored to bring old guitars back to life, preserving their original sound and charm. 

But guess what? We’ve recently expanded! While we’re still passionate about tackling major restoration projects, we’re now offering guitar setups—tailored adjustments to make sure your vintage or modern instrument plays like a dream, every time you pick it up.

What Does a Guitar Setup Include?

If you’re not familiar with guitar setups, think of it as a tune-up for your instrument. It’s the upgrade that can make a huge difference in playability, sound, and overall enjoyment. Our setup service includes adjusting the truss rod for neck relief, setting the action for the perfect string height, optimizing intonation for a more accurate tuning, fingerboard cleaning, saddle height adjustments, nut slot height assessments, and adjusting the pickup height to get that sweet, crisp sound you’re looking for. 

More Than Just Setups: Our Continued Commitment to Major Restorations

We know that your guitar is more than just an instrument. It’s a piece of history. For those who need more intensive repairs, we’re still here to help. From repairing headstocks to fixing body cracks and offering neck resets, our team of experts treats each instrument with the care it deserves. And when it comes to refrets, you can trust us to handle your guitar like a priceless treasure, bringing it back to life with precision and craftsmanship.

Why Is Maintaining Your Guitar So Important?

Whether you own a vintage masterpiece or a newer model that holds sentimental value, every guitar has its own unique legacy. Maintaining and repairing your instrument is about more than just fixing what’s broken—it’s about preserving the essence of what makes it special.

When we work on an instrument, we approach it with the goal of keeping its integrity intact. Each guitar tells a story, and our job is to ensure that story continues for years to come. By choosing us for your setup or repair needs, you’re not just getting a restored instrument—you’re protecting an important piece of musical history.

The Legacy We Preserve, Together

So, whether you’re looking to breathe new life into an old guitar with a neck reset, or simply want to ensure your current instrument plays at its best, we’re here for you. Our expanded services are designed to provide everything you need to keep your guitar in top shape, while preserving its soul and legacy. After all, your guitar deserves nothing less.

Thanks for being part of our journey, and we look forward to helping you keep your instrument sounding and playing like it was meant to for many years to come. See ya soon!
