Guitar Specialist has been serving musicians throughout the New York tri-state area for over 30 years from their 4,000 square foot climate-controlled facility in Bedford Hills. As a Fender Authorized Repair Center with current and past factory authorizations from Gibson, Martin, Taylor, Gretsch, and other major manufacturers, this shop has earned its reputation as one of Westchester County’s premier lutherie destinations.

The skilled luthiers at Guitar Specialist handle the full spectrum of fretted instrument repair, from precision fretwork and neck resets to structural crack repairs and broken headstock restoration. Their expertise extends to vintage guitar restoration, bringing historic instruments back to playing condition with period-appropriate techniques including French polishing and custom inlay work. The shop also specializes in custom and boutique guitar builds for players seeking personalized instruments.

Professional musicians including John Scofield, Paul Simon, and Joe Beck have trusted Guitar Specialist with their instrument repair needs. Members of both The Guild of American Luthiers and The Association of Stringed Instrument Artisans, the team provides expert guitar setups with strobe accuracy, electronics customization, bridge work, and comprehensive restoration services. The shop currently operates by appointment only.
