This is to ensure that there is enough understanding between you, the possible customer and your desires to be made real without any distraction. Our relationship is very important.
Whether it be very fine adjustment of neck action or a refret, complicated repairs, vintage exact restorations, or even finding the “right” volume pot, electric, steel string or gut, I am here to aid you in making your sound come to life.
My approach to all aspects of work is to offer the best solution and value for money on a long term basis.
My repair rates are probably thought of as expensive. This is, unfortunately due to the high overhead that New York City calls for. But I offer you unrivaled attention at a convenient location, that would make it worth your while in the long run.
Thanks!
Norio Imai, Imai Guitars
