Expert Guitar Repairs
Whether your guitar needs a simple adjustment, or it looks like Pete Townshend just smashed it up onstage, we can take care of you! Our repairman, Scott Kenerson of SMK Musicworks, is a skilled luthier with over 25 years of experience (he's been with MCG for over 20 of those years!).
Scott specializes in extensive repairs, routine instrument maintenance, set-up, and even full instrument restorations as well. He can even build you the guitar or bass of your dreams from the ground up, using your own unique vision and specifications!
From building his first guitar in high school, to being a wood-model-maker for the auto industry for over 20 years, Scott has taken this broad experience and created his own business, SMK Music Works. Scott has been featured in a national magazine, and his talents have taken him across the globe as a guitar tech for internationally-touring artists on several occasions, including The Lionel Richie Band, and many other local acts as well. When he's not working on guitars behind the scenes, Scott is a professional musician himself, and has played in a multitude of bands for the last four decades. With this vast experience, and intimate knowledge of how stringed instruments work, Scott is able to give your instrument the personal attention it deserves.
Maybe you have a broken head-stock, need a fret job...or just a simple set-up? Well, bring your instrument over to Motor City Guitar for the best work - at the most reasonable price in town!
If your guitar or bass requires warranty repairs, Scott is also an authorized warranty service technician for several major brands including Fender, Gretsch, Jackson, EVH, and Taylor guitars.
