Welcome to Guitarrepairtools.org

Guitarrepairtools.org is dedicated to providing useful articles about common and unique guitar repair tools and luthier tools, so you can learn how to use them to repair your own guitars. Being a luthier myself, I know how difficult it can be to repair a guitar without the proper tools. Starting out, I didn't even know what special guitar repair tools were even available. I have found that many beginning luthiers and repairmen don't know about the vast array of specialty guitar repair tools. Much like other industries, the guitar building and repair industry has invented custom tools to accommodate the guitar's unique design and needs. Most of these tools have no other use than to repair guitars. Guitarrepairtools.org is dedicated to educating you on the variety of tools that are commonly available and teaching you how these guitar repair tools are used.

All my categories of articles are listed below. I have written everything from fretting tools to finishing tools. Whether you are a beginner or intermediate luthier, you will be able to find useful information about guitar repair tools and even learn how some of the custom tools are made.

If you have any questions about guitar repair tools, my articles, or suggestions for new articles, please feel free to email me. You can also check out some online acoustic guitar lessons.
