"Had an outstanding experience with 2 electric guitar setups, new pickup selection, updating tubes and rebiasing a Fender silverface champ. Great communication, guidance and education through the whole experience, Corban went above and beyond to ensure I was happy with the results. Rocked it! "

Ted, Ridgefield WA

"I contacted Corban to replace and bias tubes in my (new to me), amp that had been broken during shipping. He asked me lots of questions to ensure I would get the outcome I wanted before he made adjustments. He was thorough and methodical. He even added tube retainers because he felt it would help prevent future mishaps. Very happy with my experience with Corban. I didn't have an amp guy before, but I do now!"

Steve, Vancouver WA

"I’ve always avoided getting my guitars setup for a couple reasons. First, I feel like it’s a personal thing to me. Dropping a guitar off at a store and having someone I don’t know anything about setting it up, just feels indifferent to me. Second, how much detail can I expect to be addressed at a retail store? Let me just say that prior to having Corban set my guitar up, I wouldn’t have been able to pinpoint any reason I avoided it. However, after knowing the detail and incredible care he puts into his setups, I now know why subconsciously I never did. Corban does all my guitars! Never have to or never will go elsewhere!"

Keiten, Battleground WA

"I recently brought my bass in for new strings and some replacement parts, and Riff Reviver did an excellent job! Corban was knowledgeable, took the time to explain what needed to be done, the turnaround time was super quick and pricing very reasonable. Now my bass plays better than it has in a long time. Would highly recommend Riff Reviver to doctor up your guitar or amp!"

Ashley, Vancouver WA

"I own a 1965 Fender Champ Amp. Recently, the amp smoked out and died! This amp is priceless to me. I took it to Corban, he went through that amp with such precision and thoroughness! Replaced the parts that failed and then spec’d it out so that if he ever has to work on it again, he knows exactly what he needs in order to restore it back to exactly the current specifications. This couldn’t be any more important to me!"

Tommy, Battleground WA

"I had some work done on my Telecaster and it was a phenomenal experience! Corban is a professional through and through. His work is impeccable and his communication throughout the process put me at ease. Very highly recommended!"

Our Services

Electronic Repair and Modification

Starting at $50. Pickup installs free when purchased in-store

Most electronic issues are actually an easier fix than you might imagine. Our basic bench fee of $50 covers quite a lot of common issues like replacing input jacks, scratchy pots and such.

For more complicated work we'll happily get you an estimate in shop.

Pickup swaps and wiring harness installs are free with purchase when you buy through our store.

We partner with multiple brands, local rockstars and nationally recognized names to bring you the best value

Amp Service and Repair

Basic Amp Service $125

Most amps just need a basic service to get rid of pops and crackles and we're happy to offer this as a flat rate of $125 (parts not included). We'll go through the basics, check the health of major components, and service the pots and jacks and sockets through out.

If you need more extensive work we'll discuss options and pricing together to find the approach that serves your gear and your wallet in equal measure.

(Please note: volume knobs that go to 11 are available by special request only)

Setup and Fretwork

Starting at $85

Polished frets, dialed in nut slots, and the perfect amount of relief can take any guitar from good to great.

Getting these right is tricky and sometimes irreversible, this is one of the areas where a dedicated tech has a huge advantage over DIY.

This is by far the most common service in our shop and the one that keeps showing up in our 5 star reviews again and again. Let us help you get the most of our your guitar.
