Luthier Services

Whether your beloved instrument experienced a major mishap or is just in need of overdue attention, Madsen Guitars has the expertise for the job. Andrew has been restoring stringed instruments since the mid-nineties and is one of the premier restorers of stringed instruments in the state of Wisconsin.

The key to proper restoration is fixing the negatives without compromising the character of the guitar. This is why each restoration project is given the same ardent attention as any project in the workshop.

Our expertise is not limited to guitars, working with all fretted and bowed stringed instruments.

Acoustic Pickups</strong
Madsen Guitars strives to offer the best products to our customers. In the past years many acoustic pickup manufactures have refined the capability to reproduce the sound of “the guitar being played” verses just sounding like an electronic pickup. I feel these brands give the player the best possible ability to sound like their guitar rather than something else.
