“I recently moved to the city and needed to get my acoustic checked out and set up.”
“This was because the guitar was not a genuine stratocaster, but instead a partscaster, meaning a fender neck without the original body.”
“Whether a vintage, classic or off the shelf daily player, Guitar Quackery is the place to go to fine tune your guitar or bass.”

From the reviews
Decided on Guitar Quackery for a headstock repair after reading the reviews and was not disappointed. Beautiful craftsmanship, very knowledgeable, and provides the best customer service. I appreciate how comprehensive the consultation was, and how he walks you through every step of the process.
I brought an old and brutally neglected RG550 to Igor. When I did so, I was worried that the guitar on which I had spent so many hours as a kid would be irreparable. Igor did an amazing job.
A couple months ago, I had bought a used guitar from Facebook Marketplace and as time went by, I started to notice some issues, more specifically, the nut had to be replaced. Because of this, after researching repair shops, I decided to get it repaired at Guitar Quackery, as the reviews were promising.
Igor at Guitar Quackery is the real deal. He combines deep knowledge, old-school craftsmanship, and genuine passion for the instrument with a level of care for the customer and their needs that’s quite rare in this business.
