Located in the heart of Zurich, Gitarren Total offers you a professional and reliable repair service for electric guitars, basses, and acoustic guitars. Whether it’s a small check-up or a major surgery: We examine your loved guitar – and get sounds out of your instrument that you would never have expected to find in it.
REPAIRS AND SERVICE
Neck breakage, winter damage, or normal wear and tear? Fret dressing or refretting, pickup replacement, intonation or truss rod adjustment? The equipment in our workshop and our experience allow us to do everything from simple service to sophisticated repairs. We are happy to give you a quote.
RESTORATION
Your old love has some cracks? We’ll make your instrument shine again! Are you missing a spare part for your vintage instrument? We obtain the original part or find other ways to come as close as possible to the original condition.
REFRET
The playability of a guitar depends essentially on the quality of the fretwork. We transform your worn-out favorite guitar into a flawlessly playable instrument. We are happy to respond to special requests such as special fret wire (also stainless steel frets), a compensated fretboard radius and other refinements.
FINISHING
Damaged finish? Paint damage, wrong choice of paint or painting technique are not only an aesthetic problem. The lacquer also has a significant influence on the sound. In our paint shop we offer all painting methods in excellent quality – from the old-school shellac (french polish) to nitro and DD to polyester finish. We make minor accidents almost invisible with professional retouching.
CUSTOM STORE
We plan and build your individual instrument – and don’t shy away from your most secret wishes. Of course we are also available for smaller conversions such as pickup, tuners or tremolo swaps.
