Dore’s Guitar & Bass Repairs

This very old Stella mandolin with its original case is really neat, and plays great once again. It almost looks like a mandolin and a lute had a baby. So cool!

Cold solder joints can be ugly... but this Broadcaster is beautiful!!!

A new custom nut for this beautiful plus top Stratocaster!

Setups, setups, and more setups! 😁
We’re open for curbside pickup, and still doing repairs at Ardens Music Belleville!

Been a busy couple of nights! Some wiring, a bridge shave, some saddle and nut filing, and lots of fretwork. Come see me at Ardens Music Belleville for any of your guitar or bass repair needs!

Been slacking on the posts lately... but I’m still keeping busy with repairs. Here’s a beautiful Epiphone that just had a nut replacement.
For repairs, contact Ardens Music Belleville (still open for curbside), and we can arrange for you to drop off your instrument. 🎸

This Schecter with a Floyd needed some attention. It’s now again playing beautifully, with a scary low action! Come see me at Ardens Music Belleville for you guitar mod, repair and maintenance needs.

This beautiful Yamaha was in for a setup and some tlc. Stop by and see me at Ardens Music Belleville for setups and repairs... or just come see me! 🎸

This Art & Lutherie needed some attention to bring the string action down from almost 6mm, back to 2mm. Neck adjustment just wouldn’t cut it, but after a new nut and some saddle work, we’re happily there again. Come see me at Ardens Music Belleville if your strings are too high for your liking also.

Finished up a repair on this 1957 National lap steel tonight, and a full setup on this Kramer Tele with a Floyd Rose trem.
Come see me at Ardens Music Belleville if you need an instrument brought back to life.

Just finished carving a new 5th string nut for this beautiful Gold Tone banjo. It is back to playing action once more!
Come see me at Ardens Music Belleville for repairs and modifications, or even just new strings and a chat.

A couple sweet looking basses came through the shop, and are once again ready for action!
Come see me at Ardens Music Belleville and we’ll get your guitar or bass back in the game as well.
