HARDWARE & INSTRUMENT REPAIR

Recommended repair shops

These shops are recommended primarily for graphite Steinberger repair.  Few of these shops have ever seen a Spirit and rarely work on instruments under $1000.  So if you need work done on your Spirit see your local repair shop first.

Composite work requires reasonable experience and specific expertise - this is not always found in traditional luthiers or with your local guitar guy.  Know that this experience also costs a little more.  Most Steinberger owners don't mind paying a little more to make sure the work is done right on their trusty axe.  The following shops have been recommended by reliable sources for their ability to handle both involved and minor repairs:
