Ty Shiroma is probably one of 2 of the best guitar repair men/luthier in the state. Has a great feel for the musician/customer and his work is impeccable. I highly recommend him but he's in great demand too.

★★★★★ — Cris, Jan 2021

Ty Shiroma of Guitar works is one of the best instrument restoration experts in Hawaii! He has great customer service and pays great attention to detail! As a musician himself he goes the extra mile to assess your instrument and repair not only what needs to be done, but will recommend other little tweaks to restore…

★★★★★ — Luisa, Jun 2019

Great business and Ty is the best! Super professional and reasonable as well. Helped me out with putting a couple of my strats in order, fixing the pickup and adjusting bridge and action. I will definitely be back if I need any work done on my guitars.

★★★★★ — Grze, Sep 2024

Found this place by accident and now it’s where I take my church’s guitars and bass guitars to get it fixed. Worth the experience and money. Ty is very knowledgeable with instruments and I highly recommend him and his business. 🙏🏽🙌🏽
