Certified Martin Guitar Repairs
Certified Martin Guitar Repairs in Austin, TX
Your Martin deserves a repair shop that treats it like the heirloom it is. Mythic Guitar Company provides certified Martin guitar repair in North Austin — from cracked tops and lifting bridges to neck resets, refrets, and full restorations of vintage instruments.
Acoustic repair is its own discipline. Solid-wood construction, hide glue joints, scalloped bracing and thin nitrocellulose finishes respond differently than any electric guitar, and repairs done with the wrong materials or clamping technique permanently reduce both tone and value. Our luthiers work to Martin's factory standards, using period-correct materials and methods.

Frequently asked questions
Do you work on vintage Martins?
Yes. Vintage instruments get conservative, reversible repairs using hide glue and period-correct materials, so collectible value is preserved.
My Martin's action feels high. Setup or neck reset?
Often a setup solves it. If the saddle is already low and the action is still high, the neck angle has moved and a reset is the correct repair — we'll measure and tell you honestly which one you need.
Can you repair a cracked top?
Almost always. Cracks are cleated, glued, and finish-touched. The sooner a crack is stabilized, the smaller and cheaper the repair.
Do you also repair other acoustic brands?
Yes — Taylor, Gibson, Guild, Yamaha and boutique builds all come through the shop. The same acoustic expertise applies.
