Ukuleles, mandolins, banjos, resonators, autoharps, lutes... if you've got something different that needs work, send me a note with the details and I'll let you know if it's something I can take on!

My repair prices will generally be slightly lower than you'll find at the chain retailer shops, simply because I have less overhead. They will be appropriate for the work of a professional, experienced, and meticulous repair technician. 

I will always give you an estimate before starting any work, and if I later come across complicating factors that would cause the cost to change, I will call before proceeding.

If you're looking for a figure for a specific procedure, please get in touch! I'm happy to answer any questions you may have. You can contact me here.

Here are just a few reasons to come to Arndt Guitars for your next repair, setup, or dream guitar:

- Quality. I have exceptional attention to detail, and hold myself to high standards. My work speaks for itself. (But don't take my word for it. Here's what other musicians are saying - scroll down to testimonials.)

- Integrity. I will always be up front with you, and if I tell you work needs to be done, it's because I honestly believe it needs to be done. If you ever have questions about why I recommend certain work, or costs, or anything else, please don't hesitate to ask.

- Accessibility. Talk to me, the tech, directly and let me know exactly what you need.

- Keep it local. When you come to me, you're supporting an individual - your neighbour - and your money stays in Strathcona County. And yes, we're 100% Canadian owned and operated.

Are you looking for a one-of-a-kind instrument, locally hand-crafted with care and the features you've always dreamed of?

I am currently accepting custom orders. Please contact me to start the adventure of designing a unique guitar for yourself, or as the perfect gift for the guitar player in your life who has (almost) everything.
