Sonoma County Guitarworks brings precision luthiery and expert guitar care to Petaluma, operating as the North Bay sister location to San Francisco Guitarworks. The shop has built its reputation on meticulous craftsmanship and cutting-edge technology, most notably their investment in the PLEK‚a high-end CNC fretwork system made in Germany that delivers unparalleled precision in leveling and crowning frets.

The experienced luthiers at Sonoma County Guitarworks handle everything from routine guitar setups and electronics work to complex fretwork and custom boutique guitar builds. Their approach emphasizes making each instrument the best it can possibly be, combining traditional lutherie skills with modern technology. All electronics work is completed using lead-free solder and premium components, wired to exacting standards.

Beyond repair and modification services, the shop offers hands-on classes where students can learn guitar setup techniques, bone nut fabrication, re-fretting, and even full guitar construction. For players outside Northern California, they accept shipped instruments for PLEK work and comprehensive setups. The team operates by appointment, ensuring each guitar receives focused attention from their skilled guitar techs.
