Guitars of Montana brings professional guitar repair and instrument services to Stanford and Great Falls from their unique home base on a working cattle ranch in central Montana. The shop features England’s Guitar and Amp Repair, led by local musician Joe England, who trained at the prestigious Galloup School of Lutherie for guitar tech work and studied tube amplifier repair at Kendric Custom Amplifier.

England specializes in comprehensive guitar setup, fretwork, and amplifier services including tube amp biasing that dramatically improves tone. The luthier expertise extends to the shop’s custom guitar builds, offering musicians personalized instruments crafted to their specifications. Every guitar‚Äöwhether custom-built, new, or used‚Äöleaves the shop only after receiving proper setup, a policy that reflects their commitment to playability and sound quality.

Beyond repair services, Guitars of Montana maintains an impressive inventory of major guitar brands including Guild, Fender, Gretsch, and G&L, along with amplifiers, drums, keyboards, and accessories. The Stanford location operates by appointment, while their Great Falls shop provides walk-in access to Joe England’s repair services. This family-run operation, managed by Bing and Pam, combines small-town Montana values with professional-grade instrument repair and retail expertise.
