We are open for amp repair, but tube supplies are thin due to the war in Ukraine. Wait times may be longer. This is a small matter compared to the lives lost and affected by this war but another reason to hope wisdom and peace will soon prevail. Established in 2008, Chicago Fret Works is your source for guitar, bass, amplifier, and fretted instrument repair, care, & restoration. Our services include precision fretwork, set-ups, electronics, refinishing, and structural repairs, as well as the very best amp repair and restoration anywhere.
