Epperson Music brings professional guitar repair and instrument maintenance services to California’s Mendocino Coast. The shop’s on-site repair department handles everything from basic guitar setups and string replacements to more complex fretwork and electronic repairs. Their guitar tech services cover acoustic and electric guitars, basses, ukuleles, and other stringed instruments.

The repair team focuses on keeping instruments playing at their best, addressing common issues like intonation problems, buzzing frets, and worn components. Services include full setup work, which involves action adjustments, truss rod tweaking, and ensuring optimal playability. They also handle hardware upgrades, pickup installations, and routine maintenance that extends instrument life.

Located on Ukiah Street in downtown Mendocino, the shop combines their luthier services with retail offerings of guitars, amplifiers, and accessories. This allows players to test instruments that have been properly set up and maintained to factory specs. The repair department serves local musicians, touring artists passing through the coastal region, and vintage instrument collectors who need careful restoration work. Turn-around times vary depending on the complexity of the repair, with basic setups typically completed faster than extensive restoration projects.
