I have worked on instruments owned by all types of players, from beginners to garage bands to professionals who make their livings with their instruments. Every instrument brought to me receives equal care; setups are specified to each players' individual taste, style and technique.
To properly care for your stringed instrument, it should be maintained on a regular basis.
My specialty is restoring old guitars and basses. Have you got an old one in the garage, the attic, just laying around? Did it turn into a bigger project than you anticipated or just haven’t found the time to start or finish it? Do you think it’s a hopeless cause? Bring it to me and I’ll turn it into a beautiful, playable, instrument.
NOW ACCEPTING all brands and types of guitars and basses in need of maintenance, repair and setups.
SERVING ALL OF THE DALLAS/FORT WORTH METROPLEX

DFW Guitars uses Showtime Polish exclusively. This new product is THE best I have ever used. ShowTime Polish is a premium non-abrasive, deep cleaner and polish. It contains no wax, petroleum products, silicone, teflon or solvents. The polish comes with a high quality micro-fiber polishing cloth which acts like a dirt magnet attracting dust, dirt, grime, fingerprints, body oils and much more. It is also machine washable. Bottom line, I use it, I trust it and I like it. Email or call me to order a Kit!
I am also the Manager of the Guitar Department at Guitar Center – North Dallas, on LBJ between Midway and Welch. Come by and see me for all your gear and accessory needs.
To book private instruction for any musical instrument contact Craig St. James at DFW Music Lessons.com .
