Located in Margaretville, NY, Andy’s Guitar Repair is an independent fretted-instrument repair shop that was established in 2014.

​

When I was about 14 years old, using a copy of Melvyn Hiscock’s Make Your Own Electric Guitar, I attempted to build my first guitar. That first guitar didn’t quite go as planned, but I sure learned a lot from the experience. In some way or another, I’ve been at it ever since.

 

I trained at The Galloup School for Guitar Building and Professional Guitar Repair. After that, I worked for over five years with Joel Wilkens at JW Restoration in Chester County, PA.
