Customer Testimonials

“Jim Solis at Del Sol Guitar Works, is the best at his craft. He not only repairs guitars, but takes the time to do the job right! I took my amplifier to two other places, and was told it couldn’t be fixed. I took it to Jim Solis at Del Sol Guitar Works, and he resurrected my Vox amplifier with some TLC, re-wiring, and fresh tubes, and it’s working like brand new. He has since worked on three of my other instruments, and they all came back with new life in them. Del Sol Guitar Works is the only place I take my instruments.”

“I found Jim while scrolling through Facebook Marketplace, and was curious about his ad. I contacted him, and he told me all about his lengthy background in the industry. So I took a chance, and was so pleased with the outcome of the set-up done on my bass guitar, that I brought him a second bass guitar. I highly recommend Jim Solis at Del Sol Guitar Works for all your guitar and bass guitar needs. I will definitely be using his skills the next time I need my instruments serviced.”

“I have a 60 year old Charango that was passed down to me from my father, which had been sitting in the attic for 20 years, and was not at all playable. I took it to Jim Solis at Del Sol Guitar Works, and within four weeks he handed me back an absolutely beautiful Charango complete with a new top, bridge, and frets! I recommend Del Sol Guitar Works to any musician or collector who is looking to give an antique or vintage instrument a second life.”

“My beloved Jackson King V was making a real racket when the wiring and pots started to corrode with intrusive moisture. Jim diagnosed the issue, installed a new input jack, re-wired my pots, sealed the pickups in wax, re-soldered everything, and had me shredding again in no time. Del Sol Guitar Works is the real deal.”

“I’ve used Jim Solis’ services a couple times, and have been very impressed with his work. He repaired an SG bass guitar where I could not get the action down without it buzzing. He adjusted the truss rod, filed the nut, and adjusted the bridge & saddles, and now it plays like butter! I totally recommend him for your guitar set-ups, overhauls, and repairs. His prices are also very reasonable.”

“I’m an 18 year old student who has been playing guitar for almost three years. I don’t make a lot of money, and I have rent and bills to pay. My B.C. Rich guitar took a turn for the worst when the tremolo system broke. I contacted Jim Solis at Del Sol Guitar Works, and he had me back in action in no time, and his prices were very fair to say the least. Del Sol Guitar Works is the only place I take my guitars!”

“I brought my prized Alvarez classical guitar to Jim Solis at Del Sol Guitar Works after years of neglect had left it in a heartbreaking state of disrepair. Time and improper storage had weathered and aged the guitar, robbing it of its beauty and playability. Jim’s expertise and craftsmanship transformed it beyond anything I could have imagined.

Jim brought my guitar back to life, and I couldn’t be more grateful.”
