Due to the COVID-19 (Corona) virus, I cannot perform any repairs at the moment.
Fixing problems in guitar land. You need a string in the middle of the night? Hey, welcome to gitaargast, let me repair your guitar or effect pedal.
Just launched a new sexy product, check it out!
I repair guitars, other stringed instruments and effect pedals. I was kind of fed up with Facebook, although it has it’s advantages. Back to an old fashioned website.

Luthier
If I cannot repair your instrument or effect pedal, I will tell you. I know others who might. Rescued some cool guitars. Glued some necks and headstocks back on and repaired a fair bunch of pedals. Learning to be a luthier* (fancy word for musical instrument builder). Had some training building instruments and I did some studying on my own.
Bossarea
A while back our beloved bossarea website died, so I went out and rescued all the content from Google cache and the Wayback machine. Added a Boss serial number checker, enjoy!
