Nick Rail Music’s Redlands location brings the company’s decades of expertise to the Inland Empire, serving musicians since the brand’s founding in Santa Barbara in 1986. The store offers comprehensive instrument repair services backed by technicians with over 100 years of combined experience, covering everything from guitar setup and fretwork to full orchestral instrument restoration.

Beyond standard guitar repair, the Redlands shop specializes in custom and boutique guitar builds for players seeking personalized instruments. The repair department handles both routine maintenance and complex restoration work, with guitar techs who understand the nuances of different playing styles and instrument types.

The store serves as a vital resource for local school music programs, providing orchestra and school band instrument support throughout the region. Their educational sales representatives visit schools regularly, offering instrument maintenance guidance and repair services to keep student instruments in playing condition.

As part of Nick Rail Music’s Southern California network, the Redlands location maintains extensive inventory of parts, accessories, and supplies. The luthier services extend across acoustic and electric guitars, with the same attention to detail that goes into their orchestral string work at the company’s specialized Penrose Strings division.
