The Fret Shop has been serving the Winchester area since 2014 as a specialist in fine fretted instruments. Owner Jonathan Rose operates this appointment-only shop in the Northern Shenandoah Valley, where his expertise extends beyond retail into professional guitar repair and setup work. The shop handles everything from routine maintenance to complex restoration projects, with particular proficiency in vintage guitar work that requires an experienced luthier’s touch.

Beyond repair services, The Fret Shop has built a reputation for custom instrument orders and boutique guitar builds, connecting players with handcrafted American-made instruments. The shop proudly represents Huss & Dalton guitars, built locally in Staunton, Virginia, alongside other premium builders like Bourgeois and Larriv©e.

Rose’s approach emphasizes personalized service in a relaxed setting, whether a customer needs fretwork on a cherished vintage piece or a complete instrument setup. The shop also offers consignment services and actively purchases interesting instruments. With over a decade of experience hand-selecting quality new, used, and vintage pieces, The Fret Shop has helped musicians across the United States and internationally find instruments that fit them perfectly while providing expert guitar tech services to keep those instruments playing their best.
