Calico Guitarworks serves as Long Island’s premier destination for professional guitar repair and handcrafted instrument building in Nesconset, New York. Owned and managed by Erik Salomon, the shop brings over 25 years of combined professional experience to every project, from routine setups to complex structural repairs.

The team handles comprehensive guitar and bass services including fretwork, electronics repair, and intricate structural work like crack repairs and broken headstock restoration. Their luthier expertise shines in custom wiring harnesses, hand-carved bone nuts, and precision neck resets. The shop has earned particular recognition for vintage guitar work, applying meticulous care to preserving and restoring classic instruments.

Beyond repair services, Calico Guitarworks has expanded into custom guitar builds, designing and constructing handcrafted electric and acoustic guitars entirely in-house under their own brand. This boutique approach ensures each instrument receives the same attention to detail that defines their repair work.

Operating by appointment only, the clean and organized shop space allows the guitar techs to focus on one client at a time, providing personalized service for every instrument. Previously known as Guitar Repair Long Island before rebranding in 2023, the business continues its commitment to honest, reliable service for the Long Island music community.
