Got my Ibanez RG there for a set up a while back & some p/up upgrades. . They are pretty expensive, but Barrett did a great job nonetheless.
I currently have a customized JEM copy that I am upgrading to original specs. Barrett himself will basically be redoing this whole guitar inside including new Dimarzio 500k pots, Sprague orange drop capacitor, new OEM 5 way switch, Gravity Storm Bridge pup, & dropping in a Gotoh trem with FU Tone block. I am supposed to have all of the parts in this week & plan on taking everything to SEGR in a few days. I will repost a separate review based on the outcome of this guitar & how it sounds & plays when I get it back. So keep your eyes peeled. In addition I also plan on doing a Youtube vid on the guitar when I get it back rating the guitar based on the job that they have done.
I have no worries as Barrett is supposed to be the best in the area when it comes to electronics & seems to be really knowledgable about Floyd floating trems.
Really nice dudes that work here. I brought my guitar in and asked for something to be done with a ridiculous time frame and they made it seem like it was no issue at all and got me done quick. I'd recommend them for sure.
Very friendly and helpful experts. I am new to amplified instruments and they helped me with what I thought was a loose end pin. They let me know that this style end pin comes loose from time to time and showed me how to tighten it without damaging the instrument. The real problem turned out to be a bad cable. For all of this, they waived their standard one hour bench time. I will be back for any kind of repair or set up work on any stringed instrument that I own.
They are a little pricy and the wait is long, but they are great guys! Excellent customer service and quality work.
my 2006 HD28 had gone sour. Took it to SEGR for a tune up. Workmanship was excellent and the sparkle and oomph are back. Wasn't expecting the clean and polish but WOW! Thanks guys.
I've had them set up several of my instruments now. Top notch work. They'll shoot straight with you too.
I finally came across a specific bass I had always wanted, but it had a large crack in the body near the bridge and needed new electronics. Because of this I got a great deal on it, so I bought it and took it up to Southeast Guitar Repair to see if they could rewire it and at least stop the crack from getting bigger. They went above my expectations and were able to completely repair the crack for me even though it was in a difficult location near the bridge, and found the preamp that matched what was originally in it. The bass sounds and looks amazing now. I highly recommend this shop. Great customer service as well!
I have been to techs and luthiers all over GA. These guys really are THE BEST. All my guitars have been set up some repaired there, and I mean a REAL set up…not just a clean and restring like most do. I have also done many pickup swaps there. I am in awe every time I get a guitar back because of how well it plays after they work their magic. Its definitely worth the long drive I make from Woodstock to take my guitars to them. You can really tell they care about every instrument that comes into their shop like it was their own.
Was worried leaving my only (and emotionally irreplaceable) instrument in the care of anyone else for the first time. These guys did a stellar job. My guitar needed just about everything done to it - re-fretting, new nut, multiple long topwood cracks sealed, setting up. I hadn't taken good care of it A 2000 Taylor 712ce.
I would certainly recommend Southeast Guitar Repair. It cost more than I was hoping for, anyways, but I don't regret that at all. I'm impressed and pleased with the job they did. I'm actually enjoying my instrument better than I ever have before - it sounds remarkable and while nobody could make my guitar look prettier, they did great finish work too. Nothing bad to say. Thanks guys.
