The Guitar Gentleman has been providing trusted guitar repair services to the Grand Valley since 2005. Owner and guitar tech Aaron M. Frick brings nearly two decades of hands-on experience working on fretted instruments, backed by $1 million in insurance coverage for customer peace of mind.

Frick’s technical expertise spans factory and custom setups, complete refrets, fret leveling and crowning, and intricate fret edge treatment. He specializes in pickup installations, coil splits, and custom wiring configurations, plus shielding work to eliminate unwanted static and hum. The shop handles nut and saddle replacement, precision intonation adjustments, and crack repair. Frick has developed particular expertise with Floyd Rose systems and creates specialized setups for altered tunings, metal shred playing styles, and even accommodations for musicians with neuropathy.

His background combines formal music education‚including classical guitar training and studies at Colorado Mesa University‚with professional experience in psychology, giving him unique insight into musicians’ needs. The Guitar Gentleman offers convenient drop-off at two Grand Junction locations: the main workshop on South Terrace Drive (by appointment) and J.B. Hart’s Music on Main Street. Frick also teaches guitar lessons, making his shop a complete resource for local guitarists.
