From the reviews
Many, many, many years & as many guitars, but these guys manage to make my next guitar always better than my last! Latest Workhorse is the best ever! Simply unparalleled! Thanks to Roy, Scott and all the crew! You too blaze!
I was inspired to write this review because I recently realized how spoiled I've been by being the proud owner of an RS Guitarworks Blaze for the past four years.
I wanted a new neck put on my '85 Fender Strat. The guys at RS Guitarworks walked me through the process, helped me find the specific neck I wanted and did the work in just 2 days. This project was more complicated than just replacing the neck because of the floating tremolo and locking nuts.
A wonderful place to fulfill any of your "AXE" needs, assistance, or a custom/personalized rig to suit! You cannot go wrong here, as many of your 'envied' pro-guitarists have discovered......!! "Ask, and you shall recieve", thanks to Scott & Roy and the staff!!😎
Selling or trading gear at RS Guitarworks
RS Guitarworks comes up for buying and trading used gear — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the trip go better. First, bring the whole package: the case or gig bag, the original tremolo arm or bridge parts, the paperwork if you have it — a complete rig is worth real money more than a bare instrument, and it saves the back-and-forth of "can you bring the case in?" Second, know that trade credit almost always beats the cash offer, usually by a healthy margin — if you're upgrading anyway, price your old gear as a trade against the new one before you take cash. Either way, expect the offer to be below what the gear sells for on the wall; the gap is the store's margin for setup, warranty, and sitting on it until the right buyer walks in.
