The Fingerboard Extension has been serving Corvallis musicians since 1978, when founder Ted Tom‚an accomplished multi-instrumentalist‚opened the shop from his home. What began in Ted and Keta Tom’s house has evolved into a community hub where players can find expert guitar repair, comprehensive instrument services, and personalized attention.

The repair team brings serious credentials to every job. Tim Martin, a journeyman road musician, understands the demands touring places on instruments. Guitar tech Corey Fisher handles everything from basic guitar setups to intricate fretwork, while semi-retired Keta Tom continues contributing her decades of experience. This combination of road-tested knowledge and skilled luthier work means instruments get the care they deserve.

Beyond guitar repair, the shop specializes in fretted instruments of all kinds‚banjos, mandolins, ukuleles, dobros‚plus drums and violins. The team prioritizes quick turnaround times without sacrificing quality, getting musicians back to playing as soon as possible. Their consignment selection and hardware inventory make this a true one-stop shop for instrument repair and maintenance needs in the Willamette Valley.
