Chasing Tone Guitars, also known as ToneZone Guitar Repairs, brings over three decades of lutherie expertise to the Walnut Creek area. The shop’s founder began working on guitars in the late 1980s, learning the craft from several well-known Bay Area luthiers. What started as a personal quest to improve his own playing through better instrument setup evolved into a full-service guitar repair shop dedicated to premier service for guitars and basses.

The shop handles everything from routine setups and fret leveling to more complex repairs like broken necks and damaged bodies. Their installation and customization services cover pickups, bridges, tuners, frets, bone nuts and saddles, and custom wiring configurations. Chasing Tone Guitars also offers custom and boutique guitar builds for players seeking something truly unique.

With a philosophy rooted in helping musicians achieve their best tone, this guitar tech approaches each instrument with the same attention to detail that defined his early training. The shop’s work reflects decades of hands-on experience and a genuine passion for the craft of guitar repair and restoration.
