History
We have been serving musicians and collectors both locally and worldwide from our shop in downtown Brooklyn, NY for over 30 years. From setups to refrets to complete museum quality restorations, we handle every project with the utmost care and consideration for the instrument's heritage, tone, and character. Stop by for a free consultation. We would be more than happy to inspect your instrument and walk you through each step of the process. Please visit our companion site, Musurgia, featuring an extremely diverse selection of antique instruments, memorabilia, photos and esoterica relating to the musical experience.
Specialties
Classic vintage guitars, basses, amps along with fine mandolins and banjos. Our reputation for skillful repairs and expert restorations dates back to the 1970s. Today the Retrofret service facility is the most complete lutherie shop on the east coast. From set-ups and minor adjustments to historic re-builds, we welcome every type of project with the same degree of care.
