Modifications
Better neck coupling for better sustain?
Stainless steel inserts and screws increase resonance and sustain and are less likely to shift or loosen over time and can be tightened with more force, compressing the neck joint for better contact.
Done with stainless steel inserts & stainless steel screws. We use a drill press for maximum accuracy (not perfectly aligned holes will make the neck shift in the neck pocket)
Simple tweak, great results! Only $45!
Make it Better!
Got gear that just isn't getting it done? Maybe a killer guitar with a thin sound in dire need of new pick ups?
Bring new life to your rig with a few well-thought out upgrades. Want to add a double coil but you're only routed for a single? No sweat. We got you.

Testimonials
“I can’t recommend Antonio Rojas at Sister City Guitar Repair highly enough. His craftsmanship, attention to detail, and deep understanding of guitars are unmatched. Whether it’s a simple setup or a complex restoration, Antonio treats every instrument with the care and respect it deserves. He’s not only incredibly skilled—he’s also a joy to work with: honest, communicative, and genuinely passionate about what he does. My guitar has never played or sounded better. Kansas City is lucky to have him.”
Beau Bledsoe
''I’m not big on testimonials, but when someone consistently exceeds your expectations, they deserve a mention. From a basic set-up, to a complex neck re-set, Sister City Guitar stands out with their honest approach, and thoughtful execution. They don’t just repair guitars, they give them new life!''
Richard Parks
''My Marcus Miller Bass was involved in what I thought was a fatal accident. After a gig I ran over the soft shell case with my truck and trailer, leaving the bass like a bag of bones. Antonio repaired and rebuilt and then dressed the frets and I
Mist say it plays better than it ever did! I recommend Antonio for anything from a set up to a major repair!''
