Tone n’ Timber brings expert guitar repair and custom luthier work to Riverhead, led by Nick and Kara‚a husband-and-wife team whose shared passion for music evolved into skilled craftsmanship. Nick’s hands-on experience in guitar restoration and building, combined with Kara’s design sensibility, creates a workshop where precision meets artistry. Their approach centers on detailed fretwork, careful setups, and repairs that prioritize playability and tone above all else.

The shop has earned recognition for custom and boutique guitar builds, crafting instruments tailored to each musician’s vision and playing style. Nick’s expertise extends to vintage guitar work, handling delicate restorations that respect the history and character of older instruments. Every guitar setup and repair reflects their commitment to the small details that shape sound‚from neck adjustments to electronics work.

Serving Long Island’s music community, this Southampton-based shop treats each instrument with the attention of true artisans rather than a production line. Their philosophy is straightforward: guitars should be reliable, personal, and built to last, whether restoring a cherished vintage piece or creating something entirely new from timber to tone.
