Strange Guitarworks stands as New Orleans’ premier destination for professional guitar repair and lutherie services, founded by master technicians Benjamin Strange and Aaron Younce. The shop has built its reputation on a simple philosophy: any instrument, from pawn shop finds to vintage treasures, can be transformed into something exceptional through meticulous fretwork and personalized setup.

The team specializes in comprehensive instrument repair for guitars, basses, banjos, mandolins, and ukuleles. Their expertise spans simple restringing and guitar setups to complex restorations and custom boutique builds. What sets them apart is their investment in PLEK technology, a computerized fretwork system offering precision down to .001mm tolerance‚ensuring flawless intonation and playability that hand filing alone cannot achieve.

Strange Guitarworks excels in vintage guitar work, handling delicate restorations on classic instruments while also tackling modern modifications and electronics upgrades. Every setup includes a complimentary adjustment period, recognizing that each player’s relationship with their instrument is deeply personal. All repair work carries a lifetime warranty and satisfaction guarantee, backed by genuine craftsmanship and decades of combined luthier experience. The shop welcomes walk-ins without appointment, maintaining an accessible, musician-friendly atmosphere.
