Heritage Music Repair

My former guitar luthier retired and I had to find a new one. I recently had two vintage guitars that needed work. I took them to two separate shops in Kansas City so I could compare. I took my '83 Fender Telecaster to Heritage. I was having it customized with new pickups and hardware. They have a guitar tech that comes in 3 days a week. He had a long wait list so the wait took a while, three weeks to be exact. Once he got to my guitar he was done in a day. He did a great job. The wait was rewarded. Communication was great. He kept me informed of each step and was accurate for time frames. When I came to pick it up it was beautiful and played great. His set up was excellent and exactly as I had requested. No frills, old fashion music shop. Reminds me of the kind downtown when I was a kid. Tight little space packed with instruments and smelling of oil and wood. When you're having your guitar worked on you want someone you can trust. Reliability and fair prices. Prices were fair. You want someone that does what you ask because you're the one playing it. I worry about my guitars. I want them back in no worse shape than I left them. I can trust Heritage music and their excellent guitar tech. I wouldn't hesitate to take my guitar back here for work.

The luthier at Heritage did superb work on my 1960 Martin D-18 neck reset. It was, however, disheartening to discover the aged original C.F. Martin & Co. emblem inside the body is missing. I can do nothing more than trust it is located and properly replaced. I will reserve a far better rating until then. My thanks, John

I have used Heritage Music several times for instrument repairs over the years and have been very happy with the results.

GREAT place to get your instrument repaired. They did work on my G&L guitar and he did an amazing job. I highly recommend this place.

Amazing quality full restoration antique trombone. My dad was a Philharmonic musician for 40 years and his horn sat for 20 years after he retired. It had holes in it from his acidic skin and was basically unplayable. Kevin rebuilt it from the ground up, keeping me inthe loop as the damage became clearer. It is a brand new instrument. I can't recommend them enough.

STAY AWAY AS FAR AS YOU CAN!!I drop off my old Washburn XB200 for repair. (snapped truss rod) Get a quote. 4 days later I get a call that the guitar is put together with some "magick" glue that they can't take the fret board off. So I call Washburn to ask them what did they use. Washburn replied that they used normal glue, and if people feed me fairy tails about "magic glue that is immune to heat gun", they either do not know what they are doing, or they just do not want to work on my bass and are lying to me. STAY AWAY.
