Strange Guitarworks

Benjamin Strange is awesome! Highly knowledgeable and proficient. I took my Kramer assault 220 in for a setup, and it has made an incredible difference. Not only is my action smooth, easy, and buzz free, I get the sense that his care in my instrument is genuine. I will continue to use Strange Guitarworks for my guitar needs, and recommend you do the same!
Thank you sir!

A pleasure to deal with and a wonderful job turning 3 old basses that I had never been able to get quite right into truly enjoyable instruments. Turns out two had necks that were less than straight. New and level frets and nut, flat neck and sweet low action, both now play like a dream.

Benjamin must have sold his soul to the devil.
This is the only explanation I can come up with for why he is as good as he is.
I brought my my American Tele and American Strat in for a setup.
Ben walked me through the process — explaining how and WHY he was doing what he was doing. Both my guitars hadn’t been set up in YEARS. I tinkered with it myself here and there… and boy could he tell! He pointed out a lot of problems with my two guitars.
Before I brought it in — i knew something was off. I hadn’t been playing well or clean. Something was wrong.
Brought to Ben based off these reviews — and I am happy I did.
Not only did he set it up perfectly — now I am playing better and smoother.
I will be bringing him my semi-​hollow VERY soon.
Ben knows exactly what he is doing, he is super friendly and he takes the time to ask you questions about your playing style, how low you want your action and other questions on how YOU play guitar — and sets it up accordingly — to YOU. This isn’t a bang em out setup. This felt like a customized setup just for me.
And it is all fairly priced to boot.
I highly recommend.
Thanks BEN!

Benjamin’s greatest asset (IMHO) is his attention to detail, and his commitment to ‘doing what is right’ as opposed to ‘what is acceptable’. He is polite and respectful. Thanks Ben.

I picked up a beat but sweet ’67 Epiphone Riviera a couple of weeks ago, and my first stop was to see Ben Strange at Strange Guitarworks. She had a nasty neck crack and was badly in need of frets and neck work when I dropped her off, and when I picked her up from Ben she sounds and plays great.
Ben went above and beyond on a very difficult repair, and his pricing was more than fair — not only did be do a great job, but he put a lot of love into the job, and that’s priceless.
Thanks, Ben, you’re the best, look forward to bringing other projects to you in the future!

Brought Benjamin my 1950s National hollow body acoustic-​electric for a long-​overdue work over. He was completely professional in every way and returned the instrument looking and playing better than ever. He also took the time to carefully explain everything he was doing along the way. He clearly does exacting work and he does it with obvious passion and enthusiasm. I will definitely be back!

Benjamin took my plain, vanilla wallflower of an acoustic guitar and transformed it into a show-​stopper. This guy knows his stuff. Under the premise that you’ll get more bang for your buck buying a cheap guitar and then customizing it to fit your needs, I picked up a low-​end Taylor from a local music store and brought it to Benji to work his magic. he talked to me about my playing style and what I was looking for and then went to work. After Benji leveled the frets, put in a custom saddle and nut, and tuned it up, it plays like a dream. Seriously, everyone who picks up this guitar says the same thing: «I never really thought much of Taylors, but this guitar sounds amazing!» If you have a guitar that needs some TLC, you won’t find a better guitar tech than Benjamin!

I have a few expensive guitars and basses that I rarely let anybody other than myself touch. I’m very particular about who I bring my instruments to have work done.
I trust Benjamin completely with any job I need done and he does so in a very timely manner, even rushing to finish in time for a last minute gig. I’m completely happy and confident with all of his work.
I know he will take the utmost care in handling your instrument and is one of the most knowledgeable and meticulous guitar techs I know.
Thanks, Benjamin, for keeping my guitars in tip-​top shape!
