Guitar Tuner Repair & Replacement in Redding, CA
Slipping, loose, stiff, or broken tuners. Repairs, replacements, and locking tuner upgrades.
When a tuner slips, grinds, or wobbles, the guitar won’t stay in tune no matter how good the setup is. Most tuner problems are quick fixes. Loose bushings and screws get tightened, stiff gears get lubricated, and cracked buttons get replaced.
If your tuners are worn out or you want an upgrade, we install direct fit replacements, locking tuners, and lightweight bass tuners that help with neck dive. We also ream holes and convert bushings so new tuners fit right without risking the headstock, and we install Hipshot D-tuners for quick drop D.
Bring it in. Most tuner work is done in a day or two.
