The Repair Department at Rainbow Guitars is the largest and best equipped shop in Southern Arizona. Our staff is comprised of two luthiers and two techs with combined experience of over 50 years building and repairing guitars, basses and all fretted instruments. We have an extremely strong commitment to customer satisfaction, and produce world-class results.

We are an authorized repair center for Martin, Fender, Taylor, Guild, Gretsch, Jackson, Charvel, Ovation, Tacoma and more. We offer full service on all fretted instruments, from restringing to neck resets. Check below for a sample of our services.


Restring

This is a misnomer for what is involved. Our restring procedure is more like a minor set-up. We clean and lightly oil the fingerboard, polish the entire guitar, tighten and adjust tuning machines, check strap buttons, clean and lube the nut, smooth the saddle (Acoustic guitars) then install strings. After tuning-up we adjust the neck if necessary, clip the excess strings and re-tune.


Set-up

Many players unnecessarily suffer from an instrument that is not adjusted properly, causing it to be hard to play or have annoying string buzz. Guitar set-ups are like a tune-up on a car; they should be done on a regular basis to keep your instrument in top playing condition. Once a year is usually sufficient, although necks may need to be adjusted more frequently due to humidity changes.

Our set-ups include the restringing procedure, cleaning all hardware, neck adjustment, minor fret work, setting bridge/saddle height, setting proper nut height, cleaning & lubricating electronics, setting intonation, and adjusting pick-ups. This results in an instrument that not only is comfortable to play, but sounds great as well.


Fret Dressing

Fret dressing is a fine compliment to a set-up. Quite often frets are worn causing low spots that cause poor tone or buzzing , or are uneven which can cause buzzing or dead notes. We start a fret dress by seating and gluing any loose frets, followed by leveling all frets and removing any low or high spots. We then use a special crowning file to round the top of each fret, followed by smoothing them with progressively finer grits of sandpaper and steel wool until they are smooth and shiny like new.


Re-frets

A re-fret is the best thing you can do to improve the playability and tone of your instrument. Even most new guitars do not match the quality of a good fret job. It's like putting new high performance tires on your car after driving around on bald tires. A re-fret consists of carefully pulling the old frets, straightening the fingerboard while maintaining (or achieving) the proper radius, cleaning out the fret slots, installing the new frets, filing the ends and beveling them, followed by the leveling, crowning and smoothing procedure described above. The result is a straight fingerboard with well rounded frets that not only have great tone, but are a joy to play. All re-frets include a complete set-up.

Media Department

Rainbow Guitar's media department is second to none, consistently delivering "catalog" quality images for every item we sell. Our youthful and energetic team uses creative techniques to capture the essence of musical instruments without relying on "over saturation" or "high contrast" photo settings. You'll notice a realism of photography on our site that ensures you won't be disappointed when a purchased item arrives to you. Our team takes pride in their work, and it shows.

Shelly


Shelly Jo hails from the MidWest, but calls Tucson her home. She has been working at Rainbow since 2012, and has been gracing our webpage with her beautiful photography ever since. "Capturing the essence of a guitar with photography is a challenge I find very rewarding" says Shelly Jo who also helps answering phones, and working the sales counters. Shelly's hobbies include painting and sculpting, she is also a Fine Arts student at the University of Arizona and an up and coming unicyclist.

Zach


Born and raised in Tucson, AZ., Zach has worked at Rainbow Guitars since 2013. Zach's passion for photography includes everything from taking photos of his friends skateboarding, to studying both traditional film as well as modern digital photo techniques. Easy going and hard working are words used to describe Zach, whose interests include cars, motorcycles, skateboarding, and playing guitar.

The finest service I've ever had from any store
by Paul from UK 10/03/09

I live in the UK, and buying a guitar 'blind' is always a daunting task, particularly if it is a high-end model as it was in my case. I found the guitar having emailed Rainbow Guitars in Tucson to see if they had what I was looking for. I received a response almost 'by return' from its' President: Harvey S. Moltz, and was treated with nothing but courtesy right from the off. Yes I know it was not a $50 Zenta, but that's not the point. Everything Harvey said he'd do, he did - on time, every time and certainly leads his company and staff by example. Mike Duer heads up the shipping department and his attention to detail regarding packing a guitar for shipping is as good as it gets. I know that it's a worry once it's left the store and in the hands of the courier, but you can rest assured that it will be VERY well packed. Fedex delivered three items to me from Rainbow Guitars and all arrived in perfect condition. If in the future I am looking for another instrument, I will contact Rainbow Guitars FIRST, as they are a superb business, run with a degree of pride which, I have never experienced in any other music store. Paul

For this professional level service, I thank you!
By Billy G from Houston Texas

Dear Harvey I want to personally thank you for your expert assistance in both the electronics and vintage instrument fields. Your guidance is inspirational and your attention to detail has instilled in me a confidence of the highest degree. Not only did you and your staff locate the impossible, the project commenced immediately! For this professional level service, I thank you! Billy Gibbons, Houston Texas

Kudos to you all
By Mike from Stafford, VA 07/31/09

Harvey, The '68 Gibson EB2 Bass arrived today safe and sound and it is one beautiful instrument. Kudos to you and your staff! It is just as Stefin described it and it plays wonderfully - I put it through my '68 Fender Bassman rig and it nearly blew the house down - its is throatier than any of my Fenders, vintage or new ones. Whoever packed the bass did a very good job - my compliments and thanks! And thank you Harvey, for having a very knowledgeable, caring staff who are excellent at what they do. Again, Kudos to you all. I will continue to shop your site, and recommend to my musician friends here in the East. Thanks! Sincerely, Mike

I would definitely buy from Rainbow again!
By Murray from Calgary 10/03/09

Hi Harvey, just wanted to let you know that I LOVE the Gibson Custom 57 Reissue I bought from Rainbow a few weeks ago. Everything about the guitar is "as advertised on your website" so I'm very pleased. It is always a leap of faith buying guitars over the internet ... you never know what you going to get! I couldn't be more happy with the guitar and the "great" service I received from all the employees (and your partner) that I dealt with. I would definitely buy from Rainbow again! Price, service and shipping was second to none ... keep up the great work! If I'm ever in Tucson would love to come by and see your store. Murray

Never experienced such friendly, professional service!
By Daniel from Lankhorn, PA 09/04/09

Harvey, Hello Sir, my name is Daniel and I am contacting you in regards to an excellent experience I had last week with one of your employees. His name is Clay. Clay provided me with what I consider to be the fastest response to a customer in the most professional way I have ever experienced. I was looking around for a shell kit with the intentions of just " looking ", well, Clay was so quick and friendly in his response to my search that I couldn't help but to investigate further. Through several pleasant and most enjoyable conversations through email, Clay offered me the perfect shell pack for me at an amazing price. Because of this excellent service on behalf of Clay and ultimately RainbowGuitars, I decided to make a purchase. I was taken back how fast Clay got this order out and received this product in TWO DAYS. Harvey, I have been shopping on line for years and I have never, I mean NEVER experienced such friendly, professional service, and information that Clay provided to me ever. I have also never received a product delivered to my door so quickly in my entire life. Because of Clays hard work and friendly ethics I will never shop anywhere else for my musical equipment. Respectfully Daniel, Great Job Clay !!!!! I am currently calling back for a snare drum !

With a type of professionalism that I have yet to find in the valley.
By David from Phoenix, Arizona 11/14/09

It’s a good thing that I have an alternative in Arizona. Denny and Mike have always treated me first class, and with a type of professionalism that I have yet to find in the valley. I’ve never thought about it until recently but being able to walk into a guitar store and have salesman that are professional is hard to find these days. You are very lucky to have Mike and Denny, as they are some of the most professional people I have been lucky enough to deal with

Many thanks for this great guitar!
By Robert from The Netherlands 12/14/09

Hi Harvey, I received the guitar today in good condition, many thanks. The guitar plays very well and looks great! Many thanks for this great guitar and the all the info which you gave to me. Also the price was compared to all other vintage dealers very well priced. The sound is also great! I will recommend collectors to deal with you without any hesitation. Kind Regards Robert

I wanted to thank you again
by Russell from Tucson, Arizona 06/10/10

Stefin, I wanted to thank you again for your and Bob Taylor's wonderful job of building my new custom GS with 1 7/8" nut, slot head, magnificent rosewood sides and back, rosewood binding and spruce tobacco finish top. Especially thank Bob for recommending the red purfling . . . it really finished it off beautifully. When you opened the case it was a real WOW for me. As I am a finger picker, the 1 7/8" nut makes it easily playable and the deep rich sound was as good or better than the way it looks. As I told you, I looked at expensive guitars all over New York City last year and found none that match what you created for me, precisely to my specifications and many of them were twice the cost. I took it to band practice last night and the boys oohed and aahed all night long. Absolutely I will recommend you and Taylor to anyone wanting a magnificient musical instrument. You have more than exceeded my expectations and I am grateful. Please pass my e-mail along to Bob. Russell

Thanks again for the fantastic customer service and an amazing guitar!
By Mike from Lincoln Park, NJ. 09/23/10

Harvey, This guitar is simply amazing!!!!  Weight, playability, and tone are stunning!!!  Props to the perfect set-up as well.  I looooooooove the neck!  To make an already long story short, its absolutely perfect!  I will be back for more in the near future.  I may actually buy that white '62 and place an order for a maple neck Strat as well. Thanks again for the fantastic customer service and an amazing guitar.  I just might have found the pot of gold on the other side of the Rainbow!  Regards, Mike

One of the finest archtop Gibson guitar at my home in less than 7 days
By Giovanni Carlo from Turin, Italy 09/28/2010

I was looking for a Gibson Citation over the internet for a long time: a week ago I found an awesome natural blonde at Rainbow Guitars in Tucson Arizona. After a nice phone talk with Harvey I went to the Bank for an intercontinental money transfer. Guitar arrived in less than 6 days in mint conditions and at a the best price I have found all over the world. Now I know that Tucson is not only the place I knew from “Western movies” but the town where there is one of the world best guitar shops; this is Rainbow Guitars! I’ll be back to buy again. Ciao Giancarlo
