Many of the most trusted names in guitar repair in Austin, trust Mythic Guitar Company with work they cannot do, and refer us their work! There is no job too large or small for us to handle.

“All luthiers are techs, but not all techs are luthiers! Just like, all Ferraris are cars, but not every car is a Ferrari…
You don’t take a Ferrari to Jiffy lube for service, so If you have a high-end guitar, you MUST take it to Mythic Guitars.”

“Just had my Ibanez S450 Custom Shop worked on by Wolf at Mythic Guitars, and it was a fantastic experience. The repair on the cosmetic cracks was skillfully done, and the Floyd Rose setup was the best yet. After owning this guitar for over 20 years, it’s never played this well. The setup is incredibly stable with perfect intonation. Wolf’s communication and service were top-notch, making the whole process smooth and reassuring. Highly recommend for anyone who values quality craftsmanship and great customer service.”

    Wolf was great!! He gave me excellent information about my vintage jazz bass neck. He was straightforward about his capabilities and options. Even though I decided to get further consultation, I totally appreciate his honest candor with my bass..

    Really thankful for Wolf and Noah and the work they do. Brought in an acoustic for some neck work and an electric for a setup. Was really impressed with the questions they asked and the amount of time they spent with me making sure I knew what they were able and willing to do. Walked me through all of the choices that needed to be made and helped me feel like I knew what to expect out of the work they were doing. A couple of weeks later I picked up my gear and wasn't surprised to find that both look, feel, and play great. These guys are doing good, honest work for a fair price – a great experience!

    I've taken a few instruments to Wolf and team and their work is always great. Your instrument will really be looked at and come out playing great. They've done electric guitars and some customizations on a bass for me, and they'll be my first stop for all my instruments.

    Excellent work making my Ibanez guitar playable again! It's great having a reliable luthier north of Austin. I recommend!
  • Avatar Jake Barger ★★★★★ a month ago
    I called the shop and the luthier there was unbelievably helpful and informative. He walked me through the steps to fixing a guitar, a price and timeline for him to do it and realistically, and even the products he might use.In my case it didn’t end up working out price wise for a cheaper guitar but I would definitely go here any day for an instrument that merits professional attention.

    This review is overdue..Mitch is a stand up guy and a skilled guitar tech/luthier! I needed someone who was knowledgeable enough to work on my valuable nylon-string Flamenco instruments and were able to give me reasonable quote for a bridge saddle/nut replacement. His services are sorely needed in North Austin without having to travel to the city for specialized acoustic repairs. Thanks Mitch..Cheers!

    I brought one of my guitars to Mitch and Noah over a year ago and haven’t taken any of my guitars to anybody since. They are thorough, meticulous and customer/player-focused. I have high confidence in their work and in their integrity. They do “custom shop” work without the overhead of mass production brands. Mythic is building a custom guitar for me as I write this. I’ll update this review with pictures and more comments after I take delivery on it.

    Integrity, humility, quality, and care are what you should expect every single time from Mythic guitar company. I have never experienced anything less in my many visits.
    Where I only found disappointment at other shops I finally had hope when I stumbled upon Mythic. After two years of trying and when nobody else could help me, Mythic went above and beyond. After bringing my guitar to Mitch it's bounds better than new! It sounds beautiful, looks beautiful, plays beautiful! Mitch was nothing but tremendous in his work and support with ideas to help make it even better than what I had imagined. All of it at a very very fair and competitive price.
    Beyond the quality of the work, which was unmatched, Mitch exudes humility and genuine care for his customers. I felt respected, listened to, understood, and most of all, valued. With these qualities behind your guitar work you have absolutely nothing to fear here. Not only does Mitch do guitar repair but he also has his own custom line of guitars which are incredible!
    Bottom line. If your guitar is not at Mythic, your guitar is at the wrong shop.

    Small store but very good service. Just some good folks doing good work and making cool guitars. Custom built shop so very likely to be getting my first higher end/high quality guitar from here.
  • Avatar Onur Ozer ★★★★★ a month ago
    Amazing group of people, Had my very broken guitar fixed within 2 weeks and got to play it in house to test it out. Amazing customer service and people! Will definitely be coming back to here if needed!
  • Avatar Chris Harness ★★★★★ 4 years ago
    I am extremely pleased with the install of the Evertune Bridge on my Gibson SG. Mitch pays close attention to detail, and executed this complicated job with precision, completed in a timely manner, and the cost was amazingly affordable in comparison to the competition. He is friendly and cares about doing great work.I highly recommend Mythic Guitar Company for any basic or complex guitar repairs or modifications.

    Just like playing the guitar, mythic guitars was an experience!! I learned a thing or two about guitar maintenance and also met and made a new friend. Wolf man proved his expertise and talent working on guitars, and got me back on the right track very quickly and effectively with a like new set up on my guitar. The set up is really well balanced and was properly done through a thorough process of fine adjustments. I am definetely a new and returning customer and would recommend trying this shop for your guitar needs.
  • Avatar John Willingham ★★★★★ 3 years ago
    Let me tell you about my man Mitch. Mitch is probably the most knowledgeable person I've ever met when it comes to guitar maintenance. And he'll explain any questions you have happily (though you may have to ask him to explain it again in less technical terms haha).
    I brought him my Les Paul to fix the neck pickup, install a bone nut, and do a set up on. He made that guitar play like a dream, better then I've ever felt it play before. 100% worth the money.
    Mitch was also very transparent about costs and always kept me updated when things could be expected to be finished and when he needed more time to get work done. All in all best experience with a guitar tech yet, and I will absolutely go back to him when I want new active pickups installed soon. Highly reccomended.
