Troll Music has served Venice’s musical community for over 30 years, evolving from its quirky beginnings in a small storefront under the Venice Avenue Bridge‚hence the memorable name. Today, the store maintains a skilled luthier team with years of experience handling guitar repair, bass repair, and restoration work for most stringed folk instruments. Their in-store guitar tech services cover everything from basic setups to comprehensive restorations.

Beyond standard fretwork and maintenance, Troll Music specializes in custom and boutique guitar builds alongside vintage guitar work, catering to players seeking specialized attention for unique instruments. The repair department also supports the local school music community, with experts handling woodwind and brass instrument repairs that get picked up and returned to the store.

The shop’s three decades of experience means their repair staff brings deep knowledge to every project, from minor adjustments to complete overhauls. Combined with their retail operations, recording studio partnership, lesson academy, and active performance venue, Troll Music functions as a comprehensive resource where the luthier services benefit from being part of a larger musical ecosystem rooted in the Venice community.
