Ithaca Stringed Instruments brings over 40 years of lutherie expertise to the Trumansburg area under the skilled hands of master luthier Eric Aceto. While the shop has gained international recognition for building custom instruments for Grammy-winning musicians, this deep understanding of instrument construction translates directly into expert repair and setup work. Aceto’s background in crafting everything from six-string violins to hybrid reso-electric guitars means he approaches each repair with a builder’s eye for detail and tonal optimization.

The shop specializes in fretwork, guitar setup, and comprehensive instrument repair across acoustic and electric guitars, violins, and mandolins. Their custom boutique guitar builds‚including the acclaimed Oneida line of acoustic-electrics‚showcase the same precision and attention to playability that defines their repair services. With expertise in both traditional lutherie techniques and modern electronics, including their proprietary pickup systems, Ithaca Stringed Instruments handles everything from basic setups to complex restoration work. The shop’s combination of master-level craftsmanship and decades of experience makes it a trusted resource for musicians seeking professional guitar tech services in the Finger Lakes region.
