Electronic Modifications

Make your guitar more versatile. Some of our most popular mods are coil
tap, series/parallel, Tele 4 way switch, treble bleed mod, 7 sound Strat, kill switch, and bass tone switch.
We can also upgrade your import guitar with higher quality components.

Pickups

Give your electric guitar or bass a tone makeover with new pickups. Brands we carry include Seymour Duncan, DiMarzio, Fender, EMG, Fishman, and more.

 Acoustic Pickups

Amplify your acoustic guitar, ukulele, mandolin, banjo, or resonator guitar. Brands we carry include Fishman and LR Baggs.

Tuners

Upgrading or replacing old worn tuners will better keep your guitar in tune so your instrument sounds better. We replace and repair tuners. Locking tuners are recommended for guitars with tremolo.

PickGuards

Give your guitar a unique custom look with a new pickguard, or help that old guitar look newer. 

Electric Bridge  Work

Upgrade your bridge for improved tone, sustain, and tuning stability. AM Guitar Works can install new saddles on your existing bridge, or replace your entire bridge or tremolo with higher quality parts. AM Guitar Works has several options available including Graph Tech, Hipshot, Bigsby, Wilkinson, and more. Prices are quoted upon request.

Acoustic Bridge  work

One of the easiest and inexpensive upgrades you can do to your acoustic guitar is replacing your bridge saddle. If your guitar has a plastic bridge saddle, we highly recommend replacing it with a a bone or Graph Tech Tusq saddle. This will improve the tone and sustain of your acoustic guitar. Ask about a Tusq bridge saddle when you bring your guitar in for a setup.

NutWork

We’ll replace your nut with high quality bone or Graph
Tech parts for clearer, richer tone.

Fretwork

Loose or worn frets will cause buzzing and intonation problems. Guitars that are played on a regular basis will have fretwear. This can be repaired by leveling the frets and recrowning them. If the frets are worn too far, the guitar may need a partial or complete re-fret. Fretwork should always be done in combination with a setup as it has a significant effect on the guitar.

AM Guitar Works is a full service repair shop. Alan Morrison has experience with all types of guitar repair and restoration. This includes repair of broken or cracked neck or headstock, acoustic guitar cracks, cosmetic and finish work.

This list is by no means complete! If you don't find what you are looking for, please ask and thanks for looking!
