Guitar Cleaning & Hardware Restoration in Redding, CA

Deep cleaning, waxing, rusty hardware cleanup, replating, and aging.

A good cleaning makes a guitar feel new. Sweat, dust, and grime build up on the body, neck, and hardware, and over time that turns into sticky finishes, rusty saddles, and tarnished tuners. We take the hardware off, clean everything properly, and wax the finish so it stays easier to wipe down.

Rusty or pitted hardware can often be cleaned up in the shop. When plating is worn through, we can send parts out for replating. Going the other way, we can age new hardware so it matches an older guitar or a relic finish.

Cleaning pairs well with a guitar setup since the strings are already off. Bring it in to the shop on Redcliff Drive.
