Welcome to Silesia Guitars, the guitar repair shop in Shoreline that is dedicated to taking good care of your dear friend, the guitar. We are located in Shoreline, just 15 min north of downtown Seattle. Our work consists of repairs of anything from broken headstocks and cracked guitar tops, through replacing/installing electronics and custom inlays. Just need a set up or a string change? No problem! We try to accommodate any needs, big or small. Usually, the cheaper the guitar, the more it would benefit from being professionally set up. Evaluations are free, so stop by with your guitar today and let's talk about how we can help you get the most out of it.

Inlay Dots Replacement

Sometimes you might just want to upgrade your guitar's looks. Give it a little face lift, so to speak. One of our customers decided that the crappy, plastic inlay dots have to go. We set him up with real abalone dots, which gave the fingerboard a nice looking shimmer and shine! Since abalone is a natural material, every piece is unique and has it's own character and color. 

Usually, if someone wants custom inlays on the fingerboard, we need to remove the frets, but to replace simple dots like this does not require that extra step, so it doesn't break the bank either! A fun way to bejewel your guitar, we think. We also have other materials available- check with us and make your guitar special!
