“That's the confidence I want when I have a rare vintage guitar that needs detailed repair.”

From the reviews
I highly recommend Whiskeytown Guitar Repair. My mom gifted me her vintage 1951 Gibson acoustic guitar. I was surprised to find a Luthier in the Peoria area. I contacted Aaron and he inspected it and suggested a few repairs. And he also recommended the proper strings and a humidifier which I promptly purchased.
I brought my Fender Jagstang here for a set up, installation of two pickups, bridge replacement, new wiring, locking tuners and strap locks. Aaron did an amazing job on this guitar. It has a dynamic vibrato system on it that can make it tricky to work on.
Aaron at Whiskeytown is the only place I take my guitars to get worked on. I've sent him several high-skill jobs that other local "bigger" (cough, cough) locations wouldn't even look at, cause they couldn't do the job due to company regs or just didn't know how.
I originally took my old beat up Yamaha SG-RR to Aaron and he singlehandedly gave it new life. Aaron took this guitar from almost unplayable to perfection with his full guitar setup offering. This job required a full re-fret which was absolutely knocked out of the park.
