C-Rocker Guitars brings authentic luthier craftsmanship to the central California coast, specializing in custom handmade electric guitars and vintage guitar restoration. The shop has built a reputation for meticulous work on classic instruments, particularly Gibson, Gretsch, Guild, and Fender models from the 1950s through 1970s.

The vintage guitar work here goes deep, from complete refinishing with period-correct nitrocellulose lacquer sunburst finishes to binding repair and crack reconstruction. Custom boutique guitar builds showcase attention to detail with weight-relieving cavity routing, book-matched tops, and hot rod wiring configurations including coil cuts, phase reversal, and vintage braided wiring. Each build incorporates quality components like Kent Armstrong and Seymour-Duncan pickups.

Beyond custom builds and restorations, C-Rocker handles comprehensive guitar repair and setup work. Services include fretwork (replacement, leveling, crowning), broken headstock repairs, and precision setups using dial indicators for string height adjustment. The shop has also developed expertise in producing custom and vintage pickguards, manufacturing over 200 different patterns for Gibson, Epiphone, Fender, and other vintage models‚including the distinctive Gibson ES-295 floral pickguard.
