Sloan Guitar Works brings over 35 years of guitar repair experience to the Monticello area, with owner Mark Sloan combining his expertise as a professional musician with his skills as a luthier. This full-service guitar shop specializes in everything from comprehensive setups and fretwork to custom boutique guitar builds that help players create truly unique instruments.

The shop has built a strong reputation throughout central Indiana for its meticulous repair work on both electric and acoustic guitars. Mark’s approach focuses on modifications that supercharge existing instruments‚from pickup upgrades featuring brands like Lindy Fralin and Seymour Duncan to complete refrets and custom refinishing work. He exclusively uses nitrocellulose lacquer for finishing, prioritizing tone quality over modern shortcuts.

As a working musician himself, Mark understands what professional players need from their instruments. His services include neck work, electronics modification, hardware upgrades, and structural repairs. The guitar tech’s combination of performing experience and technical skill means every setup and repair considers playability from a musician’s perspective. Located on the southeast side of Lake Freeman, Sloan Guitar Works serves musicians throughout Lafayette, Delphi, Kokomo, and the surrounding region.
