Metro Sound & Music Co. has served Richmond’s music community for over 35 years as one of Virginia’s most respected destinations for vintage guitar work and instrument repair. Founded by Mark Szafranski in 1991, the store evolved from a passion for high-quality American-made instruments into a full-service operation known for expert equipment repair and maintenance.

The team at Metro Sound specializes in servicing vintage and classic guitars, drawing on decades of hands-on experience with iconic American, European, and Japanese instruments. Their guitar tech services cover everything from precision fretwork and setups to more complex restoration projects on classic Fender, Gibson, and other heritage instruments. This deep familiarity with vintage construction and hardware makes them particularly well-equipped to handle the unique challenges that come with maintaining older guitars.

Located in downtown Richmond’s historic district, Metro Sound combines their repair expertise with an impressive inventory of vintage and used gear. The luthier work and technical knowledge that goes into their repair services reflects the same commitment to craftsmanship that has made them a trusted name among Richmond musicians for over three decades.
