Repairs
MacMillan Guitars is a professional service center offering repair services for all stringed instruments. Our shop is equipped with the right tool for every job. Our main goal is customer satisfaction- every instrument we receive is cared for with extreme caution and respect. All repair work is done in-house by Marty MacMillan himself. We offer all the repairs listed below, and more. For information on a repair not listed, please inquire.
Mobile Guitar Setups
For those of you in the greater Nashville area, I now offer “Mobile Setups”. Those of us with guitar collections know what a pain it can be to keep your arsenal in top shape, constant trips to a luthier, then return trips, not to mention the wait time. For a service fee of $125, plus our normal setup rate of $50 per instrument (plus strings), Marty himself will come to your residence or studio with his mobile guitar repair kit and portable workbench to give you the same pro setup services that he has offered for decades. (Minimum 4 guitars.)
