RS Guitarworks has been handcrafting exceptional instruments and providing expert guitar repair services from their Winchester, Kentucky facility for over two decades. Founded by skilled luthiers with deep roots in vintage guitar restoration, the shop pioneered aged and relic finishing techniques while working on prized instruments from the 1940s through 1960s.

The team’s expertise extends far beyond their acclaimed custom builds and proprietary pickups. RS Guitarworks has built a reputation for tackling challenging restoration projects that other shops turn away. Their luthiers have successfully rescued thousands of “lost causes” ‚ì from flood-damaged instruments to poorly executed amateur modifications and complete basket cases. This problem-solving approach, combined with their vintage guitar work experience, makes them a trusted resource for players with valuable or sentimental instruments needing expert attention.

The shop offers comprehensive guitar setup, fretwork, refinishing, and electronics work alongside their custom boutique guitar builds. Their hands-on experience manufacturing instruments from scratch gives their guitar techs unique insight into instrument construction and repair methodology that benefits every restoration project that comes through their doors.
