Central Coast Guitar Services brings over six decades of guitar passion to Cambria, where owner and technician Evan Gusar has transformed his lifelong love of guitars into meticulous craftsmanship. Since receiving his first Stella acoustic at age seven, Gusar has developed an intimate understanding of what makes guitars perform at their best.

This full-service guitar shop specializes in comprehensive setups for electric, acoustic, and bass guitars, with particular expertise in vintage guitar work. Each setup includes a thorough initial assessment of electronics, precision fret polishing through six grades of paper, and detailed fretboard conditioning. Gusar’s systematic approach addresses neck relief, string height adjustment, and intonation calibration to ensure instruments play exactly as intended.

The guitar tech’s dedication to proper instrument maintenance shows in his attention to hard-to-reach areas and his use of specialized products like Tune-It lubricant at critical contact points. Beyond standard setups, Central Coast Guitar Services tackles fretwork and offers additional luthier services on a case-by-case basis. Gusar approaches every guitar repair with the same care he gives his own instruments, helping players maximize their guitar’s potential through professional maintenance and expert adjustment.
