JoeyTheGuitarTech Instrument Repair brings professional-grade guitar tech services to Los Angeles musicians, backed by an unusual combination of audio engineering expertise and hands-on instrument knowledge. Owner Joey Musselman relocated from Richmond, VA to pursue audio engineering, spending five years recording for major labels in LA’s commercial studio circuit before redirecting his career toward instrument repair and maintenance. This dual background gives him insight into both how guitars should sound in recording environments and the technical precision required to achieve optimal playability.

The shop specializes in comprehensive guitar setups, fretwork, and custom modifications, with services including action adjustment, buzz removal, intonation, fret leveling and dressing, plus custom cable fabrication. Joey’s approach focuses on restoration work that brings neglected instruments back to professional playing condition‚clients consistently mention instruments they’d considered selling being transformed into beloved players again. His technical capabilities extend beyond standard guitar repair to synthesizers, microphones, and other gear, reflecting his broader electronics background. The emphasis remains squarely on practical services that keep working musicians’ instruments performance-ready, with competitive pricing starting at $60 plus parts for standard setups.
