  • Amplifier Maintenance and Repair

    Service bench time is $60 per hour. The schedule varies with the workload with most jobs completed within a week. Let us know your situation, we can usually accommodate. Rush service, when available, is time and a half.

  • Guitar Work

    Amphead has always provided quality guitar service. Set up, wiring and repair.

  • Tube Amplifier Overhaul

    Many of the most popular amps today are 25+ years old and are well beyond their expected service life. Eventually that sweet vintage tube amp will need to be "overhauled" to produce good tone and stay off the repair bench.

  • Speakers and Cabinets
