Quick communication. Fixed my bass on the spot, cleaned it up a bit! Works good as new! Thanks for saving karaoke night! read more

Guitar came back playing much better and fret dents completely gone. High E string didn't sound right though, had sitar like sound I was surprised they didn't hear on the final inspection. It was too far a drive to bring it back but a little research told me the bridge point was probably a little flat and that I could file a sharper point on it and it might fix it. It did fix it. I brought another guitar in as well and they fixed everything wrong and even found a couple additional things which they fixed at no additional charge. read more

Jeremy at SF Guitar Tech was great. He was very responsive when I was requesting a consultation online. I met him at his repair shop this week. I have a pretty nice guitar that I haven't touched in years due to being busy. The main issue was the bridge of the guitar being lifted due to an improper restringing attempt. Brought it in to Jeremy and was in and out the door in about 30 minutes. He cleaned my guitar, re-stringed it, and made some optimizations to get the best playability. Overall, it was a really solid experience. My guitar feels and sounds really good. It was also cheaper than I thought it would be. I would definitely recommend SF Guitar Tech to my guitar friends. read more

SF Guitar Tech - Electric guitar - Musical Instrument Services Near Me - San Francisco, California

Fixed 2 guitars on the spot and gave some solid advice on a 3rd. Obviously knows what he's doing and is a nice guy. What more do you want? Oh, and the price was more than reasonable. I even waited a bit before posting this to make sure the work stood up, happy to report all is well. read more

Jeremey is great. Quick communication, adjusted the action on my guitar on the spot, I couldn't be happier

I just moved to the Bay Area from SoCal. Needed some work done on a higher end guitar. I met Jeremy and he did an excellent job. Fast service and reasonably priced. Highly recommend SF guitar tech. read more

I contacted Jeremy through Yelp to see about swapping out the pickups on my telecaster. His response was quick and we easily set up a time for me to stop by. When I arrived, Jeremy asked me how much time I had and said that if I wanted to wait, he could have the job done in about 45 minutes. Sure enough, about 45 minutes later and after some engaging conversation about the history of Fender, Gibson, and my entry into the world of electric guitars (I'm a classical guitarist!), Jeremy had my guitar ready to go. He switched out the pick ups, changed the strings, and adjusted the nut for the new flatwounds I had brought. He also helped me figure out that the wound third string would be better off as a plain. I switched it out a few days later and now the guitar plays beautifully. Jeremy was the consummate professional, treating me with respect, doing great work, and charging what I thought was a very fair price. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him and I will definitely return to him in the future for my electric guitar needs. read more

SF Guitar Tech - Fender Telecaster - Musical Instrument Services Near Me - San Francisco, California

I reached out a few times and tried to coordinate but he didn't get back to me until I had already gone to SF Guitarworks and had the work completed. Possibly a good service provider but his follow up was poor. read more

I have been working with SF Guitar tech for about 6 years now and he is amazing! Jeremy has worked on all my guitars! Everything from a $500 acoustic to Gibson Les Paul Custom. He has done pickup replacements in many guitars including wiring Fishman Modern actives as well adding boost gain preamps. Jeremy as well has fast turnaround times which is rare in this industry, usually same day! He is proficient in all kinds of bridges including evertune bridges and Shaller. His prices are reasonable as well tends to go over and beyond which is why I like to add a little extra tip on top. Highly recommend him! read more

Amazingly fast at scheduling and he makes excellent use of your time - you get your guitar right back and don't have to leave it with him. His work is solid, I haven't had anything that needed re-fixing and I wouldn't go anywhere else for these services. read more

A quick pit stop to Jeremy's and my Les Paul is once again right as rain. I wouldn't dare say this story is possible all the time, however... Last week I found myself with a free afternoon and decided I could put up with my clothesline-high action no more. I discovered SF Guitar Tech (and thus Jeremey) via some online reviews and reached out. I was prepared to do without my guitar for whatever duration was required (likely a week, I thought). As luck would have it, we were able to quickly schedule my same-day drop-off (even THAT felt like a win). But when I got to the shop, Jeremey was finishing what looked to me like gluing an entire acoustic guitar body back together. Again, fate was on my side, for as he carefully set the final clamp, and placed the guitar out of the way for the glue to dry, he suddenly had time to not only examine my truss rod, bridge, etc., but to actually set up the guitar while I waited, and at what I felt was a fair price. Again, I don't think Jeremey--or anyone--actually offers same day guitar service, but this didn't seem like a unique event either. I was out the door and back home in about an hour. Do I endorse/recommend SF Guitar Tech? 100%. Will I be back again? Absolutely. Will I get better about procrastination? Someday, but that's on me. read more

Jeremy is awesome! I brought in my guitar thinking it needed a setup, but Jeremy gave it a thorough check and told me it was already in great shape--no work needed. I really appreciated the honesty, professionalism, and quick communication. Highly recommend if you're looking for a trustworthy tech in SF! read more

Jeremy is amazing!! I got a brand-new Bass guitar out of a box and read that an entry-level bass guitar set up correctly beats out some of that fancier ones without a good setup. He was able to squeeze me in same-day and did an excellent job. Highly recommend! read more

Jeremy set up my new Fender Jaguar by adjusting the neck angle and restringing it with a hybrid set of cobalt slinky strings. He also sanded down the neck to give a satin finish. This was all done within a couple of hours. For the speed and quality of the job, the amount I paid was well worth it. He was also easy to communicate with over text to schedule drop off and pick up. I'll definitely be back with any guitar needs. read more

Fantastic response. Appreciate his willingness to be flexible with time. Easy location and very professional.

Jeremy made getting my guitar repaired incredibly simple and easy. He was friendly and approachable, and setting up the appointment was a breeze. Plus, his rates were very reasonable! read more

Fixed my EJ strat, skunk stripe issues. Attention to detail and careful. Quick to respond, tons of tools, strings and can tell he has experience with repair read more

Jeremy was very helpful with a wiring issue I had on my bass! Repair was quick and even adjusted other stuff to play better.

Amazing work with a quick turnaround. He wired my guitar to my specification and installed a killswitch. Very happy with the end result. Highly recommended. read more

I took my guitar to Jeremy because the vibrato arm on my guitar was loose and needed tightening. He was efficient, friendly, and did quality work for me for a very fair price. I'll definitely be going back to him for future guitar work. read more

You can add me to the long list of 5-star reviews here. They don't lie. Jeremy is highly personable, extremely skilled, speedy and reasonably priced. If only the whole world worked like this. We pulled up with a newly acquired guitar that needed restringing and a little love. Jeremy worked his magic and we were out of there 20 minutes later. Clearly he knows his stuff and isn't at all condescending, even if the guitar is less than top-of-the line and the musician is just starting out. 100% recommend! read more

Awesome experience! My guitar did not need to be set up & he did not charge me. I will be sure to bring all my guitars to Jeremy! Top notch! read more

Had a minor issue with my guitar that I feared was worse. I've tried to do my own guitar setups but this was a bit out of my comfort zone. Messaged him on Monday, he got back to me quickly and said I could pop over the next day. Fixed the problem in less than 5 minutes and only charged me 5$. Extremely reasonable, extremely quick, and solved my problems. Hope to use him again in the future for some more complex work! read more

Amazingly efficient and affordable. I went in expecting to leave my base for two weeks and pay $80 for a full set up. Instead, I was out in 20 minutes with the basic adjustments done because he said I don't need more than that for now and it was only $20. I am very happy. read more

I've never had a better experience with a guitar tech in all the decades I've been playing. Jeremy was fast to respond to my inquiry and asked for pictures to help better diagnose my annoying fret buzz issue. Once he had guitar in hand, Jeremy discussed a plan of action and in just over an hour he had my guitar sounding and playing better than it has in ages. Service was fast, top quality, and very friendly. read more

Just terrific work and very rapid. Jeremy is a great guy and did a fine job. Resolved an apparent short and did a set up while I waited!

Glad I found Jeremy! He installed the screw on my ukulele for a strap attachment. Great service, friendly and reasonable. Would definitely return. read more

I called Jeremy with an urgent need for fret and nut installation on a custom bass guitar that I built. The challenge was that this guitar is gilded in 24K gold leaf, which presents a number of challenges. I needed it done by Friday because the artist wants it for his show on Saturday. My very pleasant and easy call with Jeremy followed a frustrating series of queries to other repair shops, one of which even told me: "I'm an artist, I cannot work on a timeline" and then hung up on me. Sheesh, sorry I asked for a one-week turnaround! But I'm very happy that I found Jeremy. He immediately took on the project and charged me a very reasonable amount considering that this is rush service. He had the frets and nut installed (and even additionally installed the string retainer) inside of 12 hours between drop-off and pickup. This is amazing and is more than I asked for-- or paid for. When I showed up and asked if I owed him anything extra for the extremely fast service, he just laughed. That is the definition of five-star service. I will absolutely come back to Jeremy for future work on my projects. read more

Jeremy is the Best. His skills made a Mamba out of my little short scale bass. An easy going blend of kindness and professionalism, he will always be my only Guitar Doc. read more

I took my MTD 535 for a setup. Same day service, in and out in less than an hour and the price was reasonable. My bass plays and sounds even better than before. Jeremy was pleasant; no arrogance from him like some of these other techs. Just an all around good guy. I'll be back with my other basses. read more

Jeremy was patient & helpful. He solved the issue with my electric ukulele in minutes. Highly recommended!

I had 3 instruments in need of repair/setup. An 89' American Strat Standard Deluxe, 87' MIK Squire Bullet Bass, and a brand new online order Squire Affinity Telecaster Deluxe. Jeremy was accommodating and got everything done in just over an hour while I waited! The US Strat, which is like a child to me, was setup and adjusted. Frets are wonderful now, and the string recommendation from Jeremy makes this thing feel sooooo good now! My MIK bass was strung with some flats Jeremy recommended and setup. Plays and sounds great! My Telecaster was setup with recommended strings for open tuning/slide, neck adjusted, etc. All three are really nice to play, specifically my US Strat which I really haven't picked up in years as it was just wonky. Not anymore! Thanks man! I'll be by as soon as I get a new axe or I demolish these! read more

I don't have much to add here; Jeremy really is as good as other reviewers claim. I take my most coveted guitars (Suhr, EBMM, Tom Anderson, etc) to Jeremy and trust him completely. His work is top-shelf and he's super efficient - plus he has the best prices in town. I only hope you stay in business for another 100 years, Jeremy. read more

I had purchased my guitar in "as is" condition. The previous owner had installed a "Kill Switch" tone pot and it had broken free from the guitar and wires were loose. Jeremy asked about what tone qualities would make me happy; he then quickly offered a better tone solution while I stood there; and got it done even faster! Payment was a snap. My wife says this guitar has never sounded so good; she knows what I go through, and she has a great ear. Very happy with the decision to go to SF Guitar Tech. I have a Flying V that will get a complete makeover next month. So happy to find such a talented and accessible guitar tech. read more

Great job at a great value! Jeremy was very responsive, professional, and had a great turn around time for my situation. I appreciate the time he took to repair my dad's guitar who just passed away. I got a quote at another place but felt like I was just getting brushed off, and not to mention the quote was outrageous but I was still willing to pay because I wanted the guitar restored enough to where I could at least display it. After getting turned away from this other place, I looked for help from Yelp and came across Jeremy's page and I'm glad I did! I knew the reality of the situation with the guitar, but he still gave me my options and respected my choice and did not try to sway me in another direction. I def recommend reaching out to him for repairs! read more

Got taken care of immediately. I was out in less than 15minutes. Cost was very reasonable. I will go back!

I needed some help with setting up my Gretsch semi-hollow body and I saw that Jeremy (SF Guitar Tech) had a solid 5 stars and so I reached out to him via Yelp messenger. He wrote back to me in about 10 minutes and he answered all of my subsequent questions. We made an appointment to meet up on a Tuesday afternoon (he was totally cool with the fact that I came a bit early) and he helped me out there on the spot. Great price and nice conversation too. I would definitely come back to get future repairs done with him. read more

Jeremy is the real deal: down to earth, fast, knowledgeable. Got a pickup installed for my acoustic-electric guitar in an hour which is impressive so I highly recommend his services for all your guitar needs. Thanks Jeremy! read more

Great service and my guitar sounds fantastic! Jeremy fixed the buzzing that I had and the action feels better.
