Champlin Guitars has served as a cornerstone of Bellingham’s music community since 2006, operating as both a full-service repair center and locally owned music shop in the heart of downtown. As a Martin Guitars Authorized Service Center, the shop has earned recognition for its expertise in vintage guitar work and instrument restoration, handling everything from basic setups to complex repairs on guitars, basses, mandolins, banjos, and ukuleles.

The shop’s luthier services extend beyond standard guitar repair work to include custom boutique guitar builds, offering musicians personalized instruments crafted to their specifications. Owner Devin Champlin has cultivated a reputation for quality fretwork and comprehensive instrument repair on both electric and acoustic stringed instruments, from routine maintenance to full restorations of vintage pieces.

Beyond technical expertise, Champlin Guitars has established itself as an inclusive, community-minded destination where musicians can buy, sell, and trade gear while connecting with fellow players. The ever-rotating inventory includes new and used instruments, amplifiers, pedals, synths, and accessories, making it a essential stop for guitarists throughout the Pacific Northwest seeking both expert guitar tech services and a welcoming musical hub.
