Bravo’s Custom Guitar Repair Shop brings over 45 years of guitar craftsmanship to Whittier, led by master painter and luthier Martin Bravo. After honing his skills at B.C. Rich in the 1980s, Martin established his shop as a destination for custom guitar builds, vintage guitar work, and expert refinishing services. The shop has built its reputation on meticulous nitrocellulose lacquer finishes and authentic relic work that transforms instruments into road-worn masterpieces with naturally aged patina and lacquer checking.

Beyond custom finishes, Bravo’s offers comprehensive guitar repair services including structural repairs for cracks and broken headstocks, electrical work on pickups and wiring, and professional setup and adjustment for optimal playability. Their restoration services specialize in returning vintage instruments to original condition with period-correct parts and finishes. The shop’s guitar tech team handles everything from fretwork and intonation adjustments to complete refinishing jobs, using traditional techniques and premium materials. Martin’s decades of experience working on guitars ensures each instrument receives the attention and expertise needed to achieve both stunning visual results and superior functionality.
