Topaz Guitar Repair

Topaz Guitar Repair is officially the only Plek-Equipped Repair Shop in Nevada!

Topaz Guitar Repair is Nevada’s only Plek-equipped repair shop & Authorized Guitar Technician/ Warranty Center for: Martin, Taylor, Santa Cruz, Guild, Corboda, ESP, LTD, Takamine, Furch & Lowden ( 1 of 3 Certified Techs in the US and only Female Technician). Certified Technician: Fender, Fender Custom Shop, Charvel, Jackson, & EVH

TGR is proud to be Nevada’s only repair shop equipped with a Plek machine—and the only female-owned luthier shop in the United States to own one. As a perfectionist, I take great care with every client’s instruments, striving to deliver flawless results.

That said, hand-leveling frets can take hours, limiting how many repairs I can complete in a week, resulting in a limited weekly production rate and long turnaround timeframes. In our dry desert we call home, the #1 repair I see is fret-related issues due to the lack of humidity in Las Vegas year-round.

The Plek is a computer-controlled fret-leveling machine that delivers accuracy down to 0.001 mm—a level of precision simply unattainable by hand. This technology ensures your instrument plays at its absolute best.

Beyond fret dressing/leveling, the Plek also offers:

Nut cutting and slotting
Bridge slotting (acoustic guitars)
Bridge pin locating (acoustic guitars)
Fingerboard leveling
Fingerboard slotting

If you’re ready to elevate your guitar’s playability and performance, it’s time to get Plek’d.

Precision Craftsmanship in a Controlled Environment…

Topaz Guitar Repair is Las Vegas’s only repair shop built within a 24/7 controlled humidity and temperature environment (45–55%)—an ideal setting for high-quality repair and maintenance in the dry desert we call home.

My expertise lies in acoustic structural and restoration repairs—because, let’s face it, #LookWhatVegasBroke! I also proudly service a wide range of stringed instruments, including electric and bass guitars, mandolins, ukuleles, classical guitars, banjos, folk instruments, and most wooden instruments.

Additional services include:

Vintage instrument authentication
Appraisals
Consignments

Please note: I do not service amplifiers.

How to Request a Repair? Email me directly at:

Due to high demand, all repair requests are placed on a waitlist. Once the current round of repairs has been completed and returned to their owners, an email blast is sent to all clients on the list with the opportunity to schedule an upcoming repair appointment.

⚠️ Important: My calendar fills quickly, so please schedule your appointment as soon as you receive your notification email. While there may still be a bit of a wait, your instrument will remain at home with you, instead of my shop resembling a retail warehouse, as it has in years past! This system helps ensure faster turnaround once your repair has been checked in for service.

To request to be placed on the waitlist, please provide the following:

A brief description of your repair needs
Make and model of your instrument
Your full name and best contact information
(Optional but helpful) Photos and any additional context

All requests will be reviewed, and I’ll respond to let you know if it’s a repair I can take on. As a high-volume shop, please allow time for a response.

Important Notes About Estimates & Communication

🔧 Estimates for structural or restoration repairs will not be provided via email or photos. It’s a bit like sending a photo of your engine to a mechanic and asking, “How much?” Each repair is unique and must be assessed in person. Estimates will be given during your consultation/incoming repair appointment, once it’s scheduled.

📧 Email is the only form of communication I currently offer.
As a one-woman shop, I’m unable to keep up with social media messages, voicemails, texts, or other creative methods of contact.

🚫 By Appointment Only
I do not accommodate walk-ins. All visits must be scheduled in advance.
