SERVICES

We service most modern and vintage amplifiers specializing in vintage amp restoration. We have, or have access to info and parts for most guitar amps over the ages. If a guitar amp's worth repairing, restoring or rebuilding, the doctor can do it, given the time. The time to repair older amplifiers increases by the decade. If it took 40 years to get in it's state, a month or so to get it back together isn't too much to ask.

The doctor, Steve Dikun, has nearly 30 years experience in guitar amplifier repair, currently providing service for a number of studios, rehearsal rentals and back-up for local repairmen who get stuck on a problem. Anything can be fixed, although there is a limit to cost effectiveness. If you aren't sure if it worth repairing, give the doctor a call.

We also do set-up, wiring, nut cutting and general guitar repair. We recone most modern and vintage instrument speakers. General pricing is $60 for 10", $70. for 12", and $85. for 15". Prices may vary depending on parts cost for some brands.

Rates for repair are $80. an hour plus parts. $20. for biasing if you bring tubes. Free biasing for tubes purchased here. $40 plus strings for guitar set-ups. New strings must be used to assure a proper set-up. $50 plus strings for Floyd Rose or other locking bridge styles.

Sorry,,, I don't work on vintage tube stereo's, TV's, and toasters. That's a different specialization and there's a place that would be better suited.

That said, I also don't have a desire to work on POD's, modeling amps, and digital multi-effect pedals. In my not so humble opinion, the music world would be better served if the shipping container bringing that junk here would slip off the top of the stack and sink into the deep blue sea. That in itself wouldn't help create a batch of great songwriters, but at least the sound they make wouldn't hurt my ears.
