Repairs

I treat all repairs as if I am conducting them on my own instruments, with the goal of making them better than new.

Anthony Olinger

The shop is located in Warrenville, IL. All repairs are taken by appointment only. To schedule a repair, or if you have any questions please call or email Anthony at anthony@xylembassguitar.com.
