Ed works on all the stuff i break. This is the honest guitar doctor that works on all my Ibanez variants. From sustainiacs to pawnshop specials, Ed has fixed them all for me. read more

Ed did an amazing job on my Ibanez RG. He fixed the dead frets, set up the Floyd Rose, balanced the trem, adjusted the action, and got everything playing smooth and staying in tune. I had been quoted nearly double elsewhere for the work, and the experience with Ed was honestly so much better. He was thorough, knowledgeable, and made the whole thing feel personal instead of just another guitar coming across the bench. The guitar feels completely different now. Chords ring out beautifully, bends feel effortless, and the trem feels great. I definitely found my guitar tech. Five stars. read more

Houston Guitar Tech - Ibanez RG350EX after Ed's work - Guitar Stores Near Me - Houston, Texas

Finally found the right place to bring my Guitars. I consider ED my personal Guitar Tech, he is the best! I brought him all my Guitars a few at a time. Even some that had been recently set up by others. Ed can just lay his hands on a guitar and tell you what's wrong with it. :) Tim read more

Went in to get my daughter's new guitar cords adjusted. Very quick process and she loves how it plays.

I took a guitar I had purchased for a set up & was more than satisfied with the result & how quick he got it done. Definitely will be going back for other guitar set up or any repair needs read more

These guys rock. Super friendly, great turn around time and fair prices. Will get all my guitars and basses set up here from now on.

As always, great fast service. Did a thorough check while I was there and the set-up is top notch. Highly recommended.

Most places I called wouldn't install strap buttons on my ukuleles. I talked to about 10 different places, inner loop and the Sugar Land/Mo City area. No one wanted the risk of the thin wood cracking. Bob at Heights Guitar did it while I waited. Bob knows what he's doing. I'll going back to Bob from now on. I'm a novice musician and had a number of questions. Bob had an easy to understand answer for each one, no pretension, no posturing, no air of me being beneath him. Like I said, I'll going back to Bob from now on. read more

See all

Went over cause another store said my guitar would never be playable and they couldn't do anything.Went in and they said give them 20min with the guitar. They made it play beautifully. Left a tip for making my day and also chat for a bit as well. Amazing establishment. read more

Great people, Ed is the best. they have been working on all my guitars for yrs! even back before arthritis got my hands. Fair price and will always tell you straight even when it means saving money. I drive 270 miles round trip from Bryan, Tx just for Ed's Expertise. God Bless those guys! Harold A read more

These guys are the best I have found in Houston. They do outstanding work, affordable, and short turnaround. They are dedicated luthiers. I highly recommend them. read more

I like this shop a lot. Very professional service, reasonably priced. It's important to support this type of business, they have an important role to play to keep a balance against the mega-corporations. read more

We had an old guitar that's been unplayable for 9 years since my brother in law passed away. He played it often at our house, and that's how my son became interested in playing. I finally brought it to Heights Guitar Tech. It had warped years ago because of moisture in his house and the bridge had come off. I just wanted to see if it could be put back together for aesthetics, so my son could display it. When my husband went to pick it up, to our surprise it was repaired and playable! My son opened it on Christmas morning and played a sone from one of his Uncle's favorite bands and sang it. It was very emotional to all of us to hear that guitar again. Thank you, Heights Guitar Tech! read more

I use these guys off and on when i don't have time to tech myself. Always good turnaround and good work, very affordable. One thing to remember, when taking it in for set up, let them know if you are wanting lower,medium, or higher action. They don't always ask and will default to medium. read more

This has officially become my go-to place! Highly recommend people to bring in their guitars here for set ups and maintenance. I brought in two guitars and I felt like I received two brand new guitars when I got them back. My flying-v Shecter was in need of a full set up and it was done perfectly. Brought in an art-100 Ibanez that just wasn't sounding right and Ed was more than helpful as soon as I walked in and expressed my concerns on the guitar. He checked it out for about 5/ten mins and quickly knew everything wrong with it and explained it thoroughly to me. It wasn't even two days before I was able to pick up my guitars in immaculate condition. The sound coming out of this Ibanez sounds like a handful of angels whispering sweet songs into my ear. Well done Ed. Well done. read more

Houston Guitar Tech - Guitar Stores Near Me - Houston, Texas

Great place, work, and price. Only place in Houston like this really. Not a store with a repair shop attached. A repair shop with a handful of things for sale. I do believe word is getting out. They appear busier than other reviews suggest with same day turn around times. But my repair was not a same day job. Took a week which was completely appropriate. Plus, they always answer the phone. Talk to you about the repair progress and give updates. Will not hesitate to bring other jobs here. read more

There's isn't another place I will ever take my guitars. There slogan is "You Don't Leave Pissed off" and I definitely didn't. Ed is probably the best guitar tech I've ever worked with and a damn nice guy as well. If you want it done right take it too the Heights. Thanks Ed and crew for your expertise and timely work. A++++++!!!!! read more

This is a good spot--trustworthy and reliable at their craft, and very reasonable in their pricing. I've thrown a few different things at them, both bolt-on (Music Man and a Strat) as well as set-neck (an SG and a Steinberger) and they've done excellent work on all of them... highly recommend. read more

Ed is an excellent technician and a super nice guy. He did a great job installing a pickup on my guitar and setting it up.

Excellent guitar tech work and setups... very quick and timely

These guys are awesome. Great service, great work, good value / pricing. Won't take my instruments anywhere else. I drive 60 miles because they are the best. Thanks HGT! read more

I've brought in guitars to other techs in Houston, but after a set up or repair there is always something else they missed or didn't fix. I brought my telecaster to Heights Guitar Tech a couple of days ago, and they installed new pickups and set up my guitar by the end of the day. Great service and everything feels and plays perfectly. Not to mention this was the cheapest option I've found in Houston. Thanks Ed! Update 11/17/16: Brought my p bass here recently to have the pickup changed and setup, and they finished the job within ~1 hour. The price was way cheaper than anywhere else around town and they even gave my girlfriend and me free tickets to a local music/beer festival. Couldn't ask for a better couple of guys! read more

I was having issues with my mandolin and also needed a string change out done. I was helped by Bob. He got everything taken care while I waited and had a great talk while he fixed me up. Definitely will be back and will recommend the shop to others Thank You !!!!! read more

Houston Guitar Tech - My mandolin. - Guitar Stores Near Me - Houston, Texas

Recently brought in a fretless Warwick Bass that was in bad shape. It had been locked up in a closet for quite some time. Had a basic setup done that wasn't up to my playing style - but Ed Reyes was able to set it up exactly how I wanted it. Turn around time was excellent and he explained everything he did to get my bass in good shape again. I'll definitely be back to get my Fender 5 Jazz set up! read more

Honest helpful and upfront. Thanks for your help today with my fender bass I'll be back.

These guys are amazing, friendly, and cool. They fixed my '57 Rickenbacker with speed and at a completely reasonable price. They took care not to alter my vintage instrument which i truly appreciate. A lot of shops give you a ton of attitude but these guys were friendly and cool....even with my 4 year old goofing off in their shop. Highly recommend to fix your instrument at record speed, at a fair price, and with neighborly friendliness. These guys rock! read more

The Guys at the Heights Guitar Tech are INCREDIBLE! I moved to Houston a little over a year ago from NJ, and i am SO thankful that i found this place for my guitar needs. I bought a BC Rich Warlock Kerry King Graphic Guitar a while back that was in terrible condition...The Bridge pick-up was beaten up, the Neck pick-up was held on by duct tape, i was missing knobs, the strap locks were rusty and bent and to top it all off, the bridge was severely bent forward. I wanted to fix it up to give to my Girlfriend for Christmas so I called them up and spoke to Ed who told me they could help me out. I showed up to the place around 12pm and was immediately suspicious given the surrounding area. I walked inside and was amazed. Its a small shop but very nice - they have beautiful guitars on the walls, and all the best tools of the trade. Most places like guitar center or other repair shops have a huge mark-up on their repair services, and take forever to get the job done. Ed told me exactly how much each part costed, he didn't push any over-the-top changes. He simply told me exactly what needed to be fixed, and the most effective, cost efficient way to do it. AND they told me it would be ready by tomorrow (surprisingly). We agreed on $120 for the complete set up, all of the fixes, the parts etc.. I got a call around 5:30pm the SAME DAY saying it was ready and i could come pick it up. Now, anyone in Houston knows that getting anywhere at 5:30pm is nearly impossible...I live in the Galleria (which is the epicenter of rush hour). After hearing this, Ed said that if needed, he would wait for me to get to the shop, which was SO nice of him! When i got there i was amazed to see the beautiful job that they did. I am SO satisfied with the service here. I will definitely be going back to these guys with my other guitars. I ABSOLUTELY recommend this place for everyone. Do NOT waste your time or money elsewhere, Heights Guitar Tech is the place to go for ALL guitar related repairs. Thank you Ed and Bob! Pros: Quick, and Exceptional Service Affordable Pricing Customer-Oriented Staff Incredibly Knowledgable Staff Close to 610 and i10 Cons: None read more

Went to this place after buying a used guitar. I asked for a setup and boom it was done by the end of the day!!! They did a great job and were very helpful and cool to talk to. They have a few guitars for sale in the shop and are more than willing to let you try them out. They have all the right tools to get the job done right. Don't ruin your rig at home, take it here. read more

I took my grandfather's 1950's Gibson mandolin in for a cleaning, tuning knobs replacement and electronics tune up. The mandolin has remained in its case, stored in my closet for 30 years (I don't play). I worked with Bob to get this done. He was extremely helpful and very courteous. These guys love what they do for it shows through in their work quality and service. The instrument looks almost brand new now. The charges were very reasonable. I highly recommend this shop. read more

I have been a professional lead guitarist for 35 years and have had my guitars worked on throughout the country. These guys are awesome and set my guitars up better than any other place I have ever been. My guitars are my babies, and Heights Guitar Tech took care of them as such. I will continue to do business with them and highly recommend them. read more

I absolutely love this place. Their guitar techs, Bob and Ed are great & really know what they're doing. I've had three guitars set-up here (one acoustic, two electrics). They also cut a new bridge saddle on a Martin did fret dress on a Tele for me in TWO HOURS!!!!! And rewired and setup a Strat in a matter of hours. Believe me - you will NOT get a quality turn around THAT fast ANYWHERE else in the Houston area. Their amp tech, Jim Mendenhall is absolutely phenomenal, and I cannot say enough good things about the quality of his work. He effectively rebuilt a vintage amp for me. I got an initial phone call within AN HOUR of dropping it off, and a quick diagnosis within another two hours, along with clear, detailed pictures showing the exact problem. I also got WEEKLY updates and pictures every step of the way. Most importantly, he responded to EVERY text and phone call in a very timely manner. He was also very upfront about parts and labor costs. I know that there's some other respected amp techs in town, but Jim's customer service and expertise blows all of them away. read more

Awesome place. I needed some advice about my guitar pickups and Ed helped me with any question i had. I wanted a basic guitar adjustment and expected it to be done in a day or two. He told me he would have it done at 5:30 the same day and called me at 4:00 telling me it was ready. I was very suprised how quick it was was ready and my guitar feels and sounds better than ever. Its good to have a reliable place like this. read more

went to the shop for a pickup installation but my guitar needed some routing to make it fit. i was told it may be finished probably wednesday next week. i came in saturday. i thought that was reasonable since monday was christmas. i got home and maybe an hour later got a call saying that my bass is ready! talk about speedy service. these guys rule! read more

I previously took my guitar to Rockin' Robin to set up my new acoustic. Two attempts later the action was too high and the frets buzzed. I gave up and figured two attempts was enough. Heights Guitar Tech knocked it out quickly, were great guys to chat with and more importantly ...got it right the first time for a reasonable cost. I recommend them! read more

Have had 4 instruments in now. Three acoustic guitars and a bass. In a month. Every piece was in and out in a couple days. Each plays better than I could have wished for. One was mine, two were my dad's, and the bass is my kid's. Bass was converted to fretless and looks like it could have been made that way rather than modified. Brilliant and talented gentlemen. read more
