PLM Guitar Setup & Repair is a private luthier studio in Denver run by Patrick McClanahan, who brings both formal training and hands-on experience to every instrument that comes through his workshop. Patrick completed the luthier program at Red Rocks Community College and has worked in local commercial guitar shops, giving him a well-rounded foundation in instrument repair techniques.

The shop handles everything from routine guitar setups and fretwork to complete restorations, with Patrick specializing in detailed repair work that requires a careful, methodical approach. His experience extends to custom boutique guitar builds and vintage guitar work, making PLM a solid choice for players with older instruments that need expert attention.

Operating by appointment only, the studio maintains a personal, one-on-one approach that’s hard to find in larger shops. Patrick also buys and sells used instruments, keeping a rotating inventory available for players looking for their next guitar. His background as a lifelong player informs his work as a guitar tech, understanding what musicians need from their instruments both on stage and in the studio.
