GUITAR LESSONS

$30 a half hour

** We are currently completely booked** Please check back.
​Lessons – Always wanted to pick up a guitar, or bass, but have been afraid to? Are you a recent retiree with too much time on your hands? Why not learn to play?

Perfect for beginners, or anyone who wants to learn "that one song", a lesson with Al Frantic is not only reasonable, but will also be a fun experience. 

We specialize in the "more mature" students.

REPAIRS

TBD

All wounds are different, so no two will be treated the same. Bring your pride and joy down to Frantic Fret's triage ward – let "Dr." Al have a look and give you an idea on the cost, length of time, and the long-term prognosis. Some repairs, due to sustained damage, may not be possible. Fret dressings, nut or bridge replacements, bridge lifts, or ???, we will do our best to find a cure.


​​This sweet Ibanez 12 sat in an attic for 40 years. A "closet queen" gets new life at Frantic Frets. A miracle that the top and back never cracked and the bracing is perfect. Truss rod is free and functional. What do you do when the oxidized acetate truss rod cover crumbles like an old Charlie Chaplain film? You cut a new one from tortoise shell plastic, that's what!

Music Happens at Frantic Frets

From T.D. -
​"This place is awesome. They have a great taste in instruments, there's some beautiful guitars in there. They have lots of cool interesting stuff like acoustic basses, banjos, violin, upright bass, etc. The owners are very friendly and prices are very fair. Good selection of records too. Would definitely recommend any musicians or antique collectors check them out."
