What customers are saying

  • Tommy, Custom Charvel-style Snakeskin

    Tommy had been dreaming of a Snakeskin covered guitar, an homage to the classic Charvel played by Warren DeMartini in the 80s. We built a mold and applied his genuine 14-ft Burmese Python snakeskin with precision, just like a classic Japanese shamisen.

    "It looks unreal. Holy s**t. I'm speechless"

  • Ian, 1967 Fender Music Master II restoration

    "After scouring the internet for local refinishing services, I found Electric Eye and could not be happier. Chris took the time to learn what I wanted for each project. Probably the shortest turnaround time I have ever seen a refinishing project get done. Could not be happier or more impressed."

    ★★★★★ 

  • Sal, 1999 Gibson Les Paul complete restoration

    Sal found a real Les Paul on Reverb.com that had been partially stripped and spray painted by a previous owner. The headstock had a large chunk broken off. We restored the headstock back to its signature factory shape and completely restored it to his exact specifications.

    "It looks exactly how I always imagine it now"

    ★★★★★ 

  • D, 1979 Gibson Les Paul refret and rewire

    "After 25 years in storage, my guitar needed some love, and Chris gave it just that. His passion and respect for the craft is clear and I couldn't be happier with the result. From top to bottom, he meticulously went through it and it's now playing better than ever. He took the time and care it needed, as if it was his own."

  • RJ, Hofner Bass Bridge Repair

    "Needed my Hofner bass set up and some detail work done that I just couldn't handle myself. Super fast, super effective! Quite happy with how my bass plays now. Thanks!"

    "Great quality craftsman ship, very knowledgeable. My strat has never played so well. I would highly recommend this service"

    ★★★★★ 

  • Sean, Strat Bridge & Body repair

    "Electric Eye did a great job setting up and repairing my daughter's Strat, and did it with a fast turn around and a fair price. Highly recommend this guitar service shop!"

    ★★★★★ 

  • David, Taylor 8-string Neck Angle Adjsutment

    "After several other shops attempted to tame my acoustic 8 string baritone, Chris succeeded where they failed. Quick turn around, super happy with how it plays now…finally. Chris is professional and a master at his craft."

Professional guitar service for Santa Rosa, Sebastopol, Rohnert Park, greater Sonoma County and beyond

  • Electric Eye Guitar in Sebastopol, California is Sonoma County's newest professionally equipped guitar repair shop, and is able to handle any instrument repair. We specialize in fret crown and polish, fret replacement or refretting, professional setups for Floyd Rose and all floating tremolo systems, and more.


    We utilize the latest technology     like 3D printing, 3D scanning, and CAD modeling to recreate vintage parts that cannot be obtained via the parts aftermarket. We also use low-power tools that are torqued correctly instead of standard power tools to prevent stripping the factory threads in your instrument.


    We work vertically    , meaning we hang your guitar safely and securely when we work on it to prevent any dropped parts or tools from marring your finish. Most shops will lay your guitar flat on a dirty bench, exposing it to dropped parts or tools.
