Ovation Workbench

Individualized Service
From a Unique Shop

Ovation guitars feature genuinely groundbreaking design and are truly unlike any other brand. That is why we’ve created a dedicated and unique service center. The Ovation WorkBench can do sophisticated and complex repair work… or just give your guitar the best set-up you’ve ever had. The moment you play your WorkBench-tuned guitar, you’ll know how specialized these techs and luthiers are. You don’t need to be a pro to appreciate what they can do… but if you are, you’ll love it even more. So for your next fret job, pickup refresh or major structural repair, send your guitar to the Ovation WorkBench.

Every Ovation that comes in is handled by a highly-skilled luthier, with years of experience working on Ovation guitars. And this isn’t some big factory endeavor. Our shop includes five luthiers and technicians with a combined 100+ years of Ovation-specific experience.

Why Should You Send Your Guitar to the Ovation WorkBench?

The Ovation WorkBench offers insight and services that absolutely NO OTHER service center or guitar tech can: dedicated luthiers and repairmen who work day-in and day-out on nothing but Ovation Guitars. These are the same devoted craftsmen who design, refine and build the Ovation guitars that have appeared on stages all over the world.
