The Bench Behind Your Sound

Westlake Guitar is a hands-on shop in Los Angeles built around one idea: your instrument deserves careful, honest work. Michael leads the bench with a focus on electric guitar setups and repair, and we treat every guitar that comes through our door like it matters, because to the person holding it, it does. Whether you play a distressed guitar, an aged favorite, or a relic build, we know that regular service keeps an instrument feeling right over years of use.

A proper guitar set up is where most of our work begins, and it shapes how comfortable and in-tune your playing feels. From there we handle guitar repair of all kinds, careful guitar fret leveling for buzz-free action, and neck adjustments that dial in the relief just right. We restring, correct intonation, and take on wiring and pick-up upgrades when you want a new voice out of the same body. We also stock guitar parts and accessories so you are not waiting weeks for a simple component.

Beyond the technical side, we do cleaning, polishing, and buffing to bring back the finish, along with cosmetic and electronic repairs and custom modifications for players chasing a specific feel. If you are learning or want to sharpen your chops, we offer one-on-one guitar lessons tailored to where you are. Quick turnaround matters to us, so you spend more time playing and less time waiting.

Our estimates are always free, and we are happy to talk through options before any work starts, including a virtual consultation when that is easier for you. Prices stay fair while the work stays careful. Stop by the shop, browse our project gallery, and let us show you what your guitar can do. Reach out anytime to book a visit or ask a question.
