Custom Shop services

Instrument Setup and Maintenance

The instrument must be delivered with mounted strings, so that an immediate evaluation of the required work can be made. The estimate will be done when the instrument has been successfully delivered; we release the worksheet with the date of withdrawal.

We can evaluate an eventual remote intervention through shipment; send us photos of your instrument and description of your problem.

Our technicians deal with any type of repair, in our social networks you’ll be able to see more details. For more information please see our price list. To make an appointment, please contact us.

These are just some of the Reissue instruments of customers who have chosen us.

You can find all of the electric instruments designed and built by luthier Federico Cesarini here.

You can contact the luthier shop for more information.

Airbrushing

Transactions and trade in warranty

This is an often requested kind of service, as it is certainly very useful.

It is nothing new in our field: many individuals rely completely on professionals to buy an instrument of which they really know nothing. But the truth is that these exchanges are often made with too much hurried enthusiasm, seldom with the assistance of a luthier.

We can help directly in the transaction, from a technical and human point of view (a dishonest dealer would probably withdraw from a transaction if a professional figure is involved).

We can estimate if a deal is actually valid, namely that the instrument technically reflects the description provided by the dealer. We will check the following aspects: truss rod - originality of the parties - neck condition - setup. In regard to the monetary value of the instruments, it is not our care: exchange rates will be at the discretion of the individuals.

Pickup repairs

We can fix your pickups, thanks to our in-depth experience in handling the various sensitive parts (magnet and magnetization, wire, winding number, mask, wax, screws, polarity). The repair is managed accordingly to the characteristics of the pickup in analysis. This is the correct approach, especially when dealing with vintage instruments. To request a repair estimate you can contact us here.

You can also take a look at our Cesarini Pickups and decide if you want to give them a try.
