Taylor neck angle adjustment in Pittsburgh

dgeorge · #1 03-26-2021, 06:35 PM

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good guitar tech in Pittsburgh area to do a neck angle adjustment on a Taylor guitar.....not under warranty. Most likely would need a new saddle and possibly a nut.
Thanks!

If you e-mail Taylor at [email protected] they will tell you who are certified repair technicians in your area. Authorized repair techs will have the proper pairs of tapered shims which are not available to shops that do not have the certified repair staff.

Raymond at Acoustic Music Works could likely help you. The shop is closed however (I believe) so you might want to call them?

If you call Taylor. For a small fee. I think its around $50 They will sell you a shim kit. Unbolt your neck, change the shims. They even give you new stickers to go over the top of the bolts.

Pretty sure that n'stuff music is an authorized repair center for them.

Or try Calling Joe at Empire Music (412-343-5299) If they aren't, he can point you in the right direction.

This is good advice. Two excellent independent guitar shops. Leave yourself plenty of time to enjoy either store.

I went to N'Stuff and Elliot did a great set up on my Taylor!!!

I did contact Taylor and received a request number on March 29th about Taylor Techs in the Pittsburgh area. Sadly I have yet to get a reply from them other then being assigned a number.
