I am excited but also feeling bittersweet to share that Empire Guitar Works has officially relocated to Pennsylvania under a new name: Steel City Guitar Works.

To all of my former EGW clients, I am deeply grateful for the years I was able to serve you and your instrument repair needs!

For those requiring guitar repair services based in Southern California, I highly recommend looking up the following guitar shops:

West Guitarworks in San Diego, CA. Danny West is a graduate of the Roberto-Venn School of Lutherie and has worked in both high end factories and repair shops full time ever since. He takes tremendous pride in his work, has a passion for his community, and I would trust him completely to serve every one of my client’s needs as well as servicing my own instruments if I weren’t doing this work for a living. Find out more about him at www.westguitarworks.com

Boulevard Music in Culver City, CA. Doug Graham is an expert luthier and guitar repairman serving the LA region with his many years of woodworking experience. His shop is a certified Martin and Fender warranty service center. He does excellent work, and like Danny, I trust him to handle my current client’s future repair needs after I have closed the shop and moved to Pennsylvania. Find him here at www.boulevardmusic.com/repairs

13th Street Guitars in Huntington Beach, CA. Hugh Thomas runs a busy guitar repair shop operating the only other Plek Station in Southern California besides the one here at my shop. He runs his operation very well and is completely equipped with the knowledge and expertise to provide excellent fret work and other repair services for the Orange County region.
