At Calico Guitarworks, our goal is simple: to help musicians spend less time worrying about their instruments and more time making music. With more than 30 years of combined professional guitar repair experience, we have long aimed to be Long Island’s premier destination for fretted musical instrument repair.

Our team is committed to providing quick, honest, and reliable service. To ensure a personalized experience and the highest level of attention to detail, clients are seen individually by appointment, allowing us to give every instrument—and every customer—the time and consideration they deserve.

Eric does the most amazing work. Just picked up my third guitar I had him set up for me. Don’t bring your guitar anywhere else!

Erik is the go to guy for all your six string needs!

Always thorough and will never cut corners just to finish a project on time. Tells you like it is which is what I want from the person keeping my gear up to snuff.

Been using GRLI for years and don't see that changing anytime soon!

Erik made everything so easy! It’s been very tough to find someone who both respects your guitars they way you do but also makes every skill level feel comfortable. If you have a guitar that needs some love, bring it here. I’ve brought in 3 guitars the past few weeks and they are playing better in ways I didn’t realize what I was missing.
Had a great experience working with Erik on the recent pickup replacement and setup of my Jazz Bass. I appreciated the online booking of the drop-off and pickup time for my instrument. Erik took note of all my concerns and questions and answered them sincerely and professionally. The shop was clean and organized and the price list was reasonable considering the personal attention provided. The work was done flawlessly and I'm extremely happy with the way my instrument is playing. I will definitely be back and would highly recommend Guitar Repair Long Island for the services they offer.
