Welcome to Clinton Guitars ! We've been here in downtown Clinton N.J.for almost two years now. We are newly re-located at 6 East Main St. also know as Dickens Lane. We're just down the block and across the street from the famous Old Mill. We offer service and repairs on guitars and most other stringed instruments. We also offer for sale new and used guitars, basses, lap steels, banjos, ukuleles, and all manner of accessories related to guitars and stringed instruments. Lastly, we are buyers for used instruments and offer consignment sales of your unused or unwanted equipment. We will display your consignment items in our shop and list them on our site as well as through appropriate auction sites.
My name is Roger Steinberg and I'm ready to repair or customize your prized possession or your nightly workhorse. We'll set it up for it's best playability, provide advice for proper maintenance, or find you something new to play. Sometimes, my son Eric (better known locally as Merv) will be here too. Eric is a graduate of the Bryan Galloup School of Lutherie and has worked for the last eight years in some of the busiest shops in the nation doing repairs. In addition, he was the trainer at the Northeast School for Fretted instrument Repair. He's doing other stuff too, but helps me when needed and is more than capable. I have been maintaining my own ever changing collection of 25+ guitars and doing repairs for friends and acquaintances for over 20 years. Two years ago I completed the guitar repair course at the Vermont School of Lutherie. And now, with over a year in business, we're enjoying lots of repeat and referral business . We have also developed a network of resources for almost any repair or item you might need. We want to provide the best and most timely work in the area. All work is done on site and most work will be done within two days. "While you wait" service is available. I offer adult beginner guitar instruction at $30 per lesson. I am also still looking for teachers in order to offer a broader range of instruction. Teachers here keep 66% of the lesson fee. Also, I've had a number of requests for banjo lessons so if you teach banjo, or know someone who does, contact us please.
If you are a local musician or school we will happily promote your band, CD, music event, or display on consignment, any music related artwork.
Our specialty is "set up" work, making your instrument play it's best. Most guitars playability can be improved and almost all NEW guitars purchased on line or in volume retail shops NEED to be set up properly. Just because you just spent $1000 on a new Strat doesn't mean it's been properly adjusted to play it's best. We cater to professional musicians whose instruments need to repaired and back in action quickly.
In addition we stock strings, parts, pickups, capo's straps, picks, cables slides, cases, tuners and humidification systems. If we don't have it...we can get it for you quickly and at a competitive price. We won't be the biggest, but we will be the friendliest most accommodating shop you're likely to find. Our focus is quality and service first at reasonable prices. Give us a try. You won't be disappointed
