Kari Bunn Guitar Repair

Kari Bunn Guitar Repair brings professional instrument repair services to the Hamden area, with a shop located above The Outer Space venue on Treadwell Street. Owner Kari Bunn specializes in complex guitar repair work, with particular expertise in headstock repairs and fretwork‚two of the most demanding skills in the luthier trade.

Beyond standard guitar setup and repair services, Kari has established the Divine Hammer School of Guitar Repair, offering hands-on instruction in guitar tech skills. This teaching initiative stems from a belief that guitar repair knowledge shouldn’t be closely guarded, but shared openly with aspiring repair technicians. The shop is known for accessible services like quick tune-ups that include truss rod adjustment, intonation, and string height setup, often completed while customers wait.

The Musician’s Special provides comprehensive setup work including bridge and nut adjustment, fret leveling, and crowning. Kari’s approach combines technical precision with a passion for both instrument repair and music creation, making the shop a resource for musicians seeking quality work from someone who truly understands players’ needs.
