Guitar Works of North Jersey has been serving musicians since 1983, when founder and luthier Jack Carey first opened his doors in Lake Hiawatha. With over four decades of hands-on experience, Carey has built a reputation throughout Sussex and Morris County for meticulous guitar repair and bass repair work. After relocating to Sparta in 1994, he’s continued expanding his expertise to include banjos and mandolins alongside his guitar tech services.

The shop specializes in comprehensive instrument repair, from professional setups and fretwork to complete restorations. Guitar Works also offers custom builds for solid body guitars and basses, giving players the opportunity to create truly unique instruments tailored to their specifications. Carey’s decades of refinement show in his attention to detail, whether he’s adjusting action and intonation for optimal playability or tackling complex structural repairs.

This established Sparta location operates by appointment, allowing dedicated time for each instrument that comes through the door. For northern New Jersey musicians seeking experienced craftsmanship backed by years of proven skill, Guitar Works delivers the kind of quality service that only comes from a lifetime spent mastering the craft.
