Repairs & Mods
Whether it’s a brand-new guitar, a long-time companion or a great second-hand find: with the right repair, setup or modification, a good instrument can often become an even better one.
I repair, maintain and modify guitars and basses in my workshop in Neustrelitz, Germany. From a thorough setup to fretwork and electronics, all the way to more extensive repairs and individual modifications.
Before any work begins, we’ll discuss what needs to be done and what it is likely to cost. If you’re not sure what your instrument needs, I’m happy to take a look and figure it out with you.

Modifications
Want to turn a good guitar into your guitar?
I install and modify electronics and hardware, develop custom wiring schemes and carry out the necessary woodworking.
For example:
- pickup replacements and custom configurations
- new wiring, additional switching options and kill switches
- pots, switches and other electronics
- tuners, bridges, nuts and other hardware upgrades
- Bigsby and other vibrato systems
Of course, we'll discuss beforehand what makes sense technically and how the changes will affect the instrument.
Based in Neustrelitz – easily accessible from the region
My workshop is located in Neustrelitz, in the Mecklenburg Lake District of northern Germany. It is easily accessible from Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and northern Brandenburg, including Neubrandenburg, Waren (Müritz), Feldberg, Röbel, Templin, Fürstenberg, Lychen, Prenzlau and the Uckermark.
You’re welcome to bring your instrument to the workshop by appointment and collect it once the work is finished. For many types of work, you can also ship your instrument to me.
You can find a full overview of repairs, setups, fretwork and other services on my workshop website gitarrenbau-mv.de
There you’ll also find prices and further information about the workshop.
wurst.guitars is mainly about interesting used, vintage and boutique instruments. They receive a thorough setup and inspection before they are sold.
But repairs, modifications and working on interesting instruments are just as much a part of what I do.
