TENORIO WERX is a locally owned company that builds and services guitars. All clients are seen by appointment only in order to see and hear their playing style and to talk about options for repair on their electric or acoustic guitar/bass or options for a hand built instrument. Mark Tenorio has been building and repairing musical instruments professionally since 1987.

He began his formal training in 1989 at the Roberto Venn School of Lutherie in Phoenix, AZ. The course work at Roberto Venn concentrated on the construction and design of the electric and acoustic guitar.

We often have requests to add everything from initials to custom designs onto finger boards of custom built instruments to the occasional flying V. You may have only a general idea or you may know that you want something very specific in your favorite font. Check out a few of our custom inlays that we have done at our studio.

Mark at Tenorio Werx is amazing! I own a handmade bass and recently wanted to have new pickups installed. After having bad luck with another place intown, I called Mark based on his reviews. Not only did he see me on a Saturday which he was getting caught up, he spent an hour of this time talking to me about what my needs where and why my bass isn't filling my low-end needs. I learned more about my bass, woods, electronics, amps, strings, pick placement, etc. in an hour with him than I have in the past 20 years.
