Full Service Guitar Repair
& Vintage Restoration
Taras built his first guitar at the age of 17, which inspired him to pursue a career in fretted instrument repair and restoration. After graduating from the Galloup School of Guitar Building and Repair, Taras operated his own guitar repair shop, Fretworks, in his hometown of Evergreen, Colorado.
In 2017, he relocated to Annapolis, MD to serve as head luthier at Garrett Park Guitars, where he specialized in vintage guitar restorations.
Taras' high standard of workmanship and respect for the craft quickly gained him a following in the DMV area. In his spare time, Taras restores vintage cars.

Testimonials
"I couldn’t be more happy with the Strat Taras custom built for me. We discussed what I wanted, then I let him use his skill and artistry to bring me the most sweet sounding instrument... and the price was so reasonable. Thanks Taras!"
You did a beautiful job on my J-50! When I look at the guitar, I can hardly tell that you were even there, which, to me, is the mark of a very good repairman. Thanks for your successful efforts at maintaining the patina on the guitar. I have had a chance to play the instrument a good bit since I got it back. The sound is much-improved. It lost all of that thuddiness, and is much more rounded now. The highs have come out a lot as well. I am quite sure that the sound will improve as it gets played more. Thanks for taking on this daunting job, and nailing it! I really appreciate your good work.
""Excellent service! Very responsive, welcoming and thorough when it comes to explaining details of the work that needs to be done. I wouldn't go anywhere else for fretted instrument repairs -- Taras's work is superb."
