Acoustic Music stands as Connecticut’s premier destination for vintage guitar work and custom instrument builds, situated in the historic village of Chester. Owner Leonard Wyeth, an architect and devoted guitar historian, has cultivated a shop that goes far beyond retail‚it’s a true resource for serious players and collectors seeking expert luthier services.

The shop’s connection to high-level guitar craftsmanship runs deep through business partner Brian Wolfe, who has designed guitars for Martin (including the acclaimed Nick Drake limited edition) and handles all instrument appraisals. This expertise translates directly into their repair and setup work, particularly with vintage archtops and boutique instruments.

Their guitar tech services cover everything from precision fretwork to complete restorations on rare pieces, with special capabilities in vintage guitar repair that few shops between New York and Boston can match. The team’s understanding of instrument construction‚from pre-war Gibsons to custom builds‚means players receive setup work and repairs informed by genuine lutherie knowledge.

Located in a sustainably retrofitted 1700s building, Acoustic Music combines old-world craftsmanship with modern repair techniques, making it a trusted stop for instrument repair needs across all acoustic styles.
