Making Things Right Since 1978
40 years of service
Vintage and New
Local and international clients, including Eric Johnson, Don Leady, various Pretenders, One World Music, Hunt Sales, Tommy Shannon, Jr. Watson, Barry Monks, Ollie Halsall, Carolyn Wonderland, David Grissom, Billy Bremner, Mason Ruffner, and Jimmy Dale Gilmore have brought their vintage and custom instruments to Otto’s for refrets, lacquer finishing & refinishing (relic & new), electronics, tubes, pickups, and more… and custom Fuzz boxes!
Replacing the frets and pickups on a 2016 Epiphone Les Paul demands just as much attention as the restoration of a 1955 Telecaster with original nitro lacquer. No matter the job, pro set-ups and perfect playability are guaranteed.
Testimonials
“This is my go to shop for serious set up work, pickup fixes and undiagnosable guitar relations. When I get my guitars back, they have a calming sense about them after the hell I put them through between tune ups. Thanks Otto’s”
— Dan Goebel
“I’ve been using Otto’s Guitarworks for guitar repairs, modifications, and setups for a decade now, even now that I live three hours away (up in Dallas!). Great service and a magician’s touch.”
— Tim Armstrong
“Thanks for the great job you did on my Fender Strat!! My single coil is much brighter and crisper. And the new Humbucker pickup you put in sounds so beefy out of my Marshall JCM 800. Action is perfect too!! Thank man!!!”
— Jasper Carbajal
