Workshop
A workshop that just makes things work!
At Woodstock Guitars, you’ll find one of the most experienced and respected guitar workshops in the country. We focus exclusively on high-quality maintenance and repairs. Repairing guitars is a completely different discipline than building them from scratch, and takes experience, precision, and the right tools.
Our workshop handles everything from fretwork and setups to new saddles, breaks, cracks, and electronics. Many of the instruments we work on are valuable, which makes trust a key part of the job—and we take that responsibility seriously.
Every guitar sold in our Aarhus and Copenhagen stores has been through the workshop before it hits the wall. And when you buy a guitar from Woodstock Guitars, you also get a free setup within the first month, so you can have it adjusted again after it’s had time to settle in.
We use specialist tools, some of which are imported from the U.S., and some developed right here in our own workshop, drawing on techniques from some of the world’s best guitar techs. That allows us to deliver truly high-quality, authentic work, whether we’re working on a Squier or a Super 400.
Meet Our Skilled Workshop Technicians
Lars
Lars has led our workshop for many years and has over 30 years of experience in guitar repairs. He originally learned the trade the hard way, fixing his own guitars on the road with bands in the ’90s, but later spent six months working at one of the most respected guitar workshops in the U.S., essentially apprenticing with some of the best in the business.
It gave him a massive boost in both skills and knowledge, even though he was told on his very first day that “you could teach a monkey to do this.” We still laugh about that many years later!
His time in the U.S. brought new tools and insights into our workshop, and Lars has since taken things much further, constantly refining and improving our methods.
Jacob
Jacob started working on guitars in 2020 as a self-taught tech and, after a few years in various shops, found his place here at Woodstock, where he was trained up by Lars to be a fully skilled guitar technician.
Today, Jacob is a key driving force in the day-to-day operations of the workshop, handling all kinds of repairs setups, fretwork, and electronics on all kinds of guitars.
