Topaz and Weston, Ian and Teresa did some great repair work on my guitar. They repaired the neck and now it looks like new. Can't tell at all that it was ever damaged. I have a son who isn't afraid to jump in and try to fix anything that tried to fix my Gibson. Big mistake on my part to let him. Ian also fixed the truss-rod that my son messed up, free of charge. I had the pleasure of speaking with them and found them to be very honest, helpful, knowledgeable and they take a lot of pride in there work. Thanks again for the buetiful work on my guitar. read more

Topaz & Weston Instruments - Outstanding work on my guitar. - Musical Instrument Services Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Absolutely Amazed! - I dropped off an Epiphone my significant other bought me. Typically, I wouldn't buy anything but a Gibson. But, being a gift I couldn't sell it. It had sharp frets, definitely didn't have any 'ring' or sustain to it. It wasn't great to play. So I figured, being stuck with it, let's see what Topaz Guitars can do with it and their new Plek machine. I dropped it off on Saturday, a few days later Teresa sent me photos of it in the plek machine. Later that day, I was informed it was completed and booked a pickup for Saturday. LESS THAN A WEEK! For a full plek service and setup? WOW! Upon picking it up and playing it when I got home, I was in serious SHOCK. It played, sustained and RINGED better than my Gibsons. I couldn't put it down. I can't wait to see what they can do with more of my guitars. I've used a few guitar techs in town and none of them have done a setup/service this impressive. Give them a try you won't be disappointed! read more

Hands-down, the best service I have ever received from Luther shop. And I've been playing over 60 years in many cities around the world. Teresa and Ian are not only masters of their craft. They are understanding, they are extremely supportive and highly ethical. Do your treasured instruments a service and have them do whatever work you deem necessary read more

Was having trouble with the intonation and the action on my Fender Fretless Jazz Bass. The guitar player in my Worship Group recommended Topaz. I met with Ian and he was very thorough in explaining the problems with the neck. The fingerboard needed to be planed and the nut cut down, along with a proper setup. When picked up the bass I met Teresa. Both Teresa and Ian are extremely knowledgeable luthiers. The bass is now a joy to play because of Topaz. I highly recommend them for any setup or repair services. Along with their vast knowledge, they are also courteous and respectful. read more

Need your guitar repaired? Look no further. Seriously. Stop looking. Teresa is the best. She takes care of each and every guitar like it's her baby and you can tell she wants each person that she meets to love instruments the way she does. Teresa has been able to help me fix an electric with some minor repairs in a timely manner. When my dear friend comes back to town I am going to bring her a 20 year old Martin to get refurbished. She prices things at a fair price and doesn't try to rip you off. I really wish there were more Teresa's in the music industry. I'm so happy I found her!!!! read more

Teresa replaced the neck on my Squier Strat and did a beautiful job. She took the time to educate me and gave quality recommendations. It's a better guitar now than when it was purchased. Great work! Great communication! read more

I purchased my Taylor T5z new for 4K. After 6 months I noticed a crack in the sound board from the bridge to the bottom of the body. I called the Taylor factory and they told me that it was a humidity issue and not (of course) covered by the warranty. I really didn't want to ship it to El Cajon, CA so I started a search for a certified Taylor repair service and found Topaz Guitar Repair. I made an appointment and it took 2 months just to get an estimate for the repair. I take that in a good way because it shows that you must be good at repairing guitars if it takes that long just to get an appointment. My day finally came and I took my Taylor in for an estimate for repair. Teresa confirmed that the crack was indeed a humidity issue. She went on to say that unless I purchased a humidifier she would not do the repair because it would just crack again in a few months. I really respected that. I asked Teresa how long it would take to do the repair. She said "I don't know. 1 month, maybe 6 months.". Her shop is running humidifiers 24/7. It takes time for the wood to rehydrate. Every guitar is different. I left my guitar there, came home and ordered a commercial humidifier. Teresa had my guitar for about 6 weeks. When I went to pick it up, WOW!!!!! Teresa went above and beyond the repair. Fret level, crown dress and polish, setup, restring, soundboard crack repair-cleats-no drop fill, bridge re-glued, polished and buffed. The T5z looked and played better than the first day I took it out of the box. I highly recommend Topaz Guitar Repair. Very high quality work. If you want your guitar repaired take it to whoever you want. If you want it repaired right take it to Topaz Guitar Repair. And remember, HUMIDIFY-HUMIDIFY-HUMIDIFY!!!!! read more

Topaz & Weston Instruments - Humidify Humidify Humidify. Taylor T5z after repair by Teresa at Topaz Guitar Repair. - Musical Instrument Services Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Hands down the best guitar repair shop in Las Vegas! Teresa is super friendly, respectful and knows her stuff. So far, I've had her work on 6 guitars (2 acoustic, 4 electric) and I'm extremely pleased with the end result. She fixed a guitar with water damage (mold and all) and another one with cracks all over the fretboard. Teresa provided me with updates throughout the entire process and gave me tips on how to keep up the maintenance on my own. I seriously doubt there's anything this lady can't fix! I recommend her to all my guitar friends. If you care about your guitars and want great customer service, look no further than Topaz Guitar Repair! read more

See all

Teresa repaired a crack on my 76 Gibson Byrdland (at the base of the headstock) and upgraded so many other cosmetic items, the end result is beautiful. This was the 2nd repair I've had her take care of & both were1st class, if you need major or minor repairs she is your luthier read more

Gary S - Theresa did a great job on my 1989 Martin D35 (i.e. my baby). Took a while but well worth the wait. The guitar has never played better. I highly recommend her. read more

I couldn't have been more happy to find Teresa and Topaz Guitar Repair to take care of all my stringed instrument needs. She has worked on my acoustic and electric guitars and they sound better than ever before. She is meticulous in her work, explains the process in great detail and is an absolute pleasure to deal with. I was so lucky to find her and I will never go anywhere else for any of my guitar needs. She is in high demand for her craft, so consider yourself lucky if you can get a session scheduled. She is worth the wait and a wealth of knowledge in proper care of your instrument. read more

She is the best. She repaired my Turner Renaissance Lefty and was extremely thorough explaining the importance of humidity control in the Las Vegas heat for my guitars (recently moved from CA). She followed up with me during the whole process and it was a pleasure meeting someone so devoted to the craft and her love of being a musician. Would highly recommend her. I'm sure her business will continue to expand, so get your guitars in there soon! read more

Cannot say enough about this lady. She is a master luthier and an all around great person. She goes above and beyond for us every time. She knows her craft... acoustic or electric... She is the best!! Skip the other places and call her first! You will not be disappointed!! Thank you TT!! read more

Topaz is top notch. This is a lover of music and feels your axe. I'm an old head bass player. Didn't want to go to the corporate shops, wanted a axe master who feels you and the instrument. We sat and chatted. Professional. Personal. And most of all, gets it. Hard to find this kind of talent who is also a very talented musician. I just got my axe back and it's like heaven. Settings spot on. Fret buzz gone. Got a new rig coming in. Nice to know I have an axe that is done fabulously and will work. Just saying. This is where you need to bring ya stuff. 5 Stars + read more

Excellent customer service and gets back to you super fast. That's without mentioning her expertise and skills as a technician. I am grateful for her great work. I took my Taylor for a setup and as a plus I got plenty of information. Teresa answered all my questions and even got me more motivated on my learning skills. I can't wait to get my hands on my other guitar that she's working on. I am happy and very satisfied about the whole experience and highly recommend her services. read more

Absolutely fantastic service for repair and setup. Experienced, knowledgeable, personable and professional. Theresa inspected my guitars, replaced faulty tuners, corrected the action/setup my guitars, and gave me valuable advice for my next instrument. Highly recommend! read more

Teresa repaired the pickup on my Acoustic and did a great job on my frets. I'm very Happy with the job she did. I'll be back !!

Teresa is not only a very capable tech, but also very professional. She works 2 days a week at Heartbreaker Guitars where she does everything from set up work to finish repair. We at HBG have incredibly high standards which is why having Teresa as our tech is a must. She also runs her own shop so she stays very busy. We highly recommend this honest and very talented luthier. Teresa rocks! -Heartbreaker Guitars. read more

After a terrible experience at The Guitar Center, I did some research and found Theresa. My Taylor was in need of some adjustment. She picked it up at my house and had it fixed in two days. This was a while back during the lockdown, so I don't imagine she still does pick up and delivery, but I don't think you'll find better service in Las Vegas! A very knowledgeable technician , a kind, honest person, Ms. Topaz is the best! I had her adjust my Takamini with similar results. I highly recommend this business!! read more

Teresa did a great job on my guitar and even spent some time with me on a mini lesson. She's widely knowledgeable about guitar anatomy and function. Pickup and drop off service are an added plus. read more

I purchased several Taylor guitars during the pandemic but they were not set up as i preferred. I contacted Taylor Service and they recommended Teresa Topaz / owner of Topaz guitar repair to make the adjustments i was requesting. I agree with their recommendation as Teresa took the time to discuss my playing style, and access the condition of the guitars as they moved from high humidity to next to no humidity. The result is incredible - several had humidity damage that she was able to take care of and now play as new - i highly recommend Teresa and will continue to bring all of my guitars for her care. Teresa you are the best. read more

I was looking for an experienced guitar shop to set up my new guitar, and fortunately, I found Topaz. Theresa is amazing. The knowledge and experience she has is impressive. And the work she did for me was nothing short of amazing. The set up was perfect. She even picked up and delivered my guitar to my door! And offered adjustments for free if needed. The fact that she is a guitar player herself is even better. You know that you're trusting your instrument to someone who knows what she's doing. I will be calling her for ALL my guitar work from now on. And the prices she charges are in line or better than any competition. You cannot go wrong with Topaz! read more

Brilliant! Guitar technician Teresa Topaz is a true expert at her craft. We're so lucky to have found her! We brought my son's Fender Strat to her for a setup and were so impressed by her process and results that we brought each of our 5 other guitars (some priceless, some ordinary) to her within the month. Couldn't be happier! From setup to restring to repairs to sealing signatures, she revitalized every one of them, taking them from ok to awesome each time. Teresa (a musician herself) treated each of our guitars like a treasure, made us super comfortable with the process and also educated us at every step. She completely impressed us with her expertise, communication, advice and results. It's a joy to see someone so expert at their craft work their magic. Thanks Teresa - we'll be back! read more
