Geometry and Ergodynamics
Fretted instruments are deceivingly complex, and attention must be paid to the total geometry of the instrument, in order for its playability and tonal responsiveness to be maximized.
Neck Resets
A neck reset consists of much more than merely removing and regluing a neck. Determining the proper neck angle, stabilizing the geometry of the body, shaping the right saddle, and leveling the frets and board are each, component parts of an ideal reset.
Set Ups and Electronics
Your playing style demands a personalized set-up, designed to suit your unique musical direction. Before consigning your instrument to its case, let us see what we can do to make it the ideal extension of your musical vision.
Structural Repairs
Stuff happens. Things break. Cracks, splits and loose braces seem to appear out of thin air. Leave them alone and... well, they won't fix themselves. And sometimes, duct tape isn't the answer. We'll triage your instrument before it's too late. Yes, a scar may remain, but you'll be back in the game.
Our Store
More than just customer repairs and restorations, Gee's Gear seeks out fine quality vintage instruments, restoring them and placing them for sale to the public through our online store at Reverb.com
Some of Our Favorites
Whether Acoustic or Electric, we love guitars and basses. American made instruments from the 1920s through the 1960s are our favorites, but we also have a soft spot for great (and occasionally funky) guitars from Sweden, the UK and Japan. Send us a great ol' Chicago made guitar, and we are happy as clams.
