Geoff is outstanding. I went in fully expecting a re-fret and he took a look at my Larrivee and said it just needed a good filing and clean up of the frets. He did a phenomenal job. He repaired a friends Taylor that had a separation. Did an awesome job. He gave a thorough explanation and the work was timely and affordable.
Geoff knows what he's doing, never met a more experienced guitar man
Awesome shop! Such a friendly guy, and a very knowledgeable luthier. He sold us a Fender Hard case for a very reasonable price. Great experience!
Very cool guy, unbeatable service. It's like if you had a buddy repairing your guitar - he treats you fair and square.
Super knowledge and technique and an ace guy. Fair prices too.
Geoff was great at communicating, very reasonable pricing, and was safe with Covid-related practices. Will definitely be taking all my gear there in the future.
Geoff set up my Les Paul Standard, did a fret job, and it has never played so well. Zero buzzing with low action, never played so well. Thank you, and will bring you my '74 strat in the next year for the same!
Geoff is a great guy! Very informative and knowledgeable about his craft. Great service for an unbeatable price. Check him out!
You probably don't need a guitar tech as capable as Geoff, but you'll be very glad you took your axe to him. Supremely competent, honest, and fair.
Geoff is the luthier you wished you went to first. His knowledge and craftsmanship are superior to anyone else I've used.
Geoff is the man. Fair prices, serious attention to detail, and a wealth of knowledge on the art of guitars. Support this place yall.
I could not be happier with Geoff's work. It is obvious that music and guitars are Geoff's true passion, and he truly has a gift. If you need any guitar repairs you should definitely call him.
Took a long time to find you Geoff/Thank you for all your help over the years/If Geoff can t fix it, no one can/Great personal service with reasonable prices/best wishes and many blessings
Best luthier in the country. Geoff has been workig on my basses for 15 years. I gig regularly and need my equipment to be reliable. From finishing the fretbord on my 78 fretless Ric to putting new frets and pickups on my 62 P-bass, Geoff does it all. Great work at a reasonable price. THE ONLY ONE I trust to touch my babies. He just set up by 2010 Alembic. Can't wait to gig with this. IF IT HAS STRINGS. GEOFF BENGE'S fixes it.
I m surprised the reviews on here aren t 6 stars. He s not just good, he s a legend. He can make your guitar sound better than you ever thought possible.
I dropped my Les Paul on a concrete floor and the neck just about cracked in half at the headstock. I wasn't sure if it was salvageable to be honest. Geoff took a look and said "I can fix this". My guitar plays better than it ever has and you can't even see where the neck was almost cracked in half. Unbelievable work!
Great service and Geoff is a great guy, extremely personable and knowledgeable. Need repairs go here.
The only guy who should ever be aloud to work on instruments
Geoff knows his stuff, does great high quality work. Terrific
If it has strings, he can fix it, set it up and make it sound it's best.
Geoff is a total pro. He put new life into my vintage strat while retaining it's unique character and integrity. The best setup I've gotten in Chicago.
Geoff is great, I'll never take my guitars anywhere else. His prices are ridiculously fair and he takes the time to answer questions about guitars and has a quick turnaround time. Your guitar is in great hands if you bring them to Geoff, I can't imagine there being somebody better to take it to in the city.
Took my Gibson ES-275 to Geoff. The neck was warped and seemed to be beyond repair. Goeff was able to straighten it and the cost was reasonable. Unquestionable pro doing incredibly high quality work.
