JMT Guitar Repairs brings professionally-trained guitar repair services to East Hollywood with a refreshingly honest, no-nonsense approach. Owner Joseph honed his craft at the Roberto-Venn School of Luthiery before establishing his Los Angeles practice five years ago, building a reputation for quality work at accessible prices.

This one-person operation specializes in essential guitar maintenance and restoration, from comprehensive guitar setups and precision fretwork to pickup installations and wiring repairs. Joseph’s luthier training shines through in services like fret leveling and complete refrets, available for both standard and stainless steel applications. The shop handles both standard six-string guitars and more complex instruments including extended-range guitars and Floyd Rose systems.

What sets JMT apart is Joseph’s commitment to transparency‚he provides straightforward pricing, doesn’t charge unnecessary bench fees for diagnostics, and openly communicates about his limitations. Working from his East Hollywood studio, he maintains that no job is too small and no instrument too modest for professional attention. When projects exceed his current capabilities, he refers clients to trusted guitar techs within his professional network, ensuring every player gets the service their instrument needs.
