Metro-Milwaukee's Fastest High-End Guitar Repair Shop

Cream City Music runs a world-class guitar repair shop in Brookfield, Wisconsin, serving guitar players across metro-Milwaukee, Waukesha, Wauwatosa, and all of southeastern Wisconsin. Our team is built from some of the most talented luthiers and guitar techs in the industry, and we pair that expertise with something most shops can't promise: speed.

We've rebuilt our repair department around one thing we do better than anyone: setups. We're committed to the highest-quality, fastest setup turnaround of any shop in metro-Milwaukee. Most setups finished in just a few business days, often in as little as three. You shouldn't have to choose between a setup done right and a setup done fast. With us, you don't.

From precision setups and fret work to nut fabrication, electronics, and pickup installs, we treat every instrument like it's our own, because we're players too.
