Repair and Custom Service
For over 25 years, I have specialized in providing professional repair services for all types of fretted instruments.
After honing my skills through apprenticeships at some of the area's top guitar shops, I established my own business 2005, originally serving many of Denver, Colorado’s most respected musicians. Now located in upstate South Carolina, Del Toro Guitars continues to deliver exceptional craftsmanship, personalized service, and a commitment to customer satisfaction.
With extensive full-time experience addressing diverse repair needs, playing styles, and unique challenges, I aim to ensure your instrument performs at its best.
Appointments are available most days to accommodate your schedule—please call to arrange a time that works for you. I’m happy to discuss any repair needs, big or small, including those not listed. If your service involves a restring, feel free to bring your preferred string brand and gauge, though basic quality strings are available. Your satisfaction is my priority, and I look forward to helping you keep your instrument in top condition.
Thank you,
Brian
