Iron Horse Instruments brings California-caliber guitar repair expertise to Orangeburg, New York. Founded by Alex Glasser, a skilled luthier who honed his craft at the renowned Gryphon Stringed Instruments in California, the shop has established itself as one of the tri-state area’s premier destinations for specialized stringed instrument repair.

As a factory authorized warranty center for both Martin and Taylor guitars, Iron Horse Instruments handles everything from routine guitar setups and restrings to complex structural repairs and refinishing work. Glasser’s expertise shines through in the shop’s vintage guitar work, having restored fire-damaged Fender Telecasters and refinished 1940s Gibson acoustics. The shop also excels at custom builds and boutique instrument construction, complementing its comprehensive repair services.

The range of luthier services includes fretwork, neck resetting, broken headstock repair, custom inlay, and electronic modifications. From acoustic pickup installations to custom rewiring projects, Iron Horse combines technical precision with fair pricing. The shop welcomes guitars, ukuleles, mandolins, and banjos, serving everyone from casual players to serious collectors with honesty, experience, and dedication to quality craftsmanship.
