    Searching For Reliable Boston Guitar Repair

    By Anthony Ellis


    Most guitarists will occasionally need their instrument repairing or modifying. Whether it is an electric or acoustic, these musical instruments sometimes suffer from faults, and will require expert attention. When you are searching for reliable boston guitar repair there are a few places to start and some things that can be done by players to keep guitars in good order.

    Guitar stores in Boston Massachusetts are one of the best places to visit when you need your instrument repairing. Most stores will have a good repair and inspection service and they will look after your instrument. Yearly checkups and setups are also offered by the majority of reputable music stores and this will help to avoid problems with your instrument.

    Another place to locate reliable repair services is by looking on the net and there are many firms who advertise their services online. When you contact them by email or telephone they will ask you about the problem and arrange for your instrument to be shipped to them by road. When you need to ship your instrument using a courier firm it is very important to get adequate shipping insurance in case of damage or loss in transit.

    The prices you pay for the repairs will depend on what kind of fault it is and how long it takes to rectify. Small fixes such as replacing broken tuning pegs and cleaning can be done cheaply and quickly. More serious problems such as a fret dressing or body restoration will be more costly and it will take longer.

    If you own an electric model there are a few things that need to be done on a regular basis. Necks and bodies need to be maintained and kept in good condition. Electrical switches, cables and pickups should be checked regularly for any wear and tear. Your strings should be changed regularly and this will help to keep the neck true and at the correct tension.

    Acoustic instruments also need to be looked after to prevent costly damage and unnecessary wear. Instruments should be cleaned regularly with a suitable specialist polish and the tuning pegs will need lubricating with oil. If you keep the instrument out of its case it should be kept on a good quality guitar stand and not propped up against a surface.

    To avoid serious faults there are some simple things you can do to maintain your instrument. Always keep guitars in their case when you are not using them and this will prevent them from knocks. After playing the guitar you should wipe it with a clean lint free cloth to remove any excess moisture that may have come off your hands whilst playing.

    If you have to store an instrument for an extended period there are a couple of things that can be done to protect it. Clean the instrument thoroughly before putting it its case and always store in a clean and dry area of your home. Packets containing absorbing gel or some uncooked rice can also be placed in the case and this will soak up moisture that is in the atmosphere.
