Nyles provides professional service with a human touch. He knows what he's doing and he's super friendly.

Responsive communication, quality craftsmanship, quick turnaround, fair prices. I was beyond impressed with my experience here. My Taylor Big Baby was in rough shape after several cross-country moves and Nyles got it playing better than new in no time. I waited a couple months to write this review to see if it would slip back into its issues but no way, the work was solid and it's still sounding amazing. Thanks Nyles, keep up the great work!

Nyles did a fantastic setup job on my new Fender Jazzmaster. He even implemented a unique fix for the floating bridge that constantly threw the guitar out of intonation. It’s never played or felt better since he worked on it. Fantastic work, will be bringing all my instruments here from now and recommending all my musician friends do the same. Thanks Nyles!

I can't recommend Nyles highly enough. His work is fantastic and communication excellent. On top of it all, he's a really nice guy. I will not hesitate to have him do work on my guitars in the future.

Nyles repaired my old Martin, dressed the frets, truss rod adjust, gave it a fresh setup and some needed TLC. Quick turnaround at a reasonable price from this tidy little shop. Thank you sir, I’m telling all my buds.

Took my Epiphone Sheraton Pro II and my Epiphone Casino in for a professional set up and Nyles did everything from restringing, cleaning, to the intonation on the guitars. The next day, they were both done and man, they sound amazing and play real smooth.🎸🎸

I was in some desperate need of help for my brand new Schecter Bass and I could not be more pleased with the quality of Nyles work.Such a down to earth guy with an attitude that just makes you smile. Everything offered is fairly priced and the rushed service is definitely fast. In an hour and 30 minutes I had the best bass imaginable.I can’t thank you enough Nyles, Thank you so much.

Needed a twenty year old acoustic fixed up which needed a little more work than a standard set-up. He's clearly very capable and knows what he's doing, the guitar sounds amazing now. Had some unanticipated repairs along the way and he was great with communication and explaining things... highly recommend!

I recently had the pleasure of using Reynolds Guitar Repair for the very first time, and I can wholeheartedly say it was an extraordinary experience. Niles, the owner, is an incredibly great dude and exhibits a genuine passion for his craft that makes all the difference. The work he did on my 30-year-old bass was nothing short of phenomenal—he truly brought it back to life!From the moment I stepped into his shop, I felt welcomed and appreciated. Niles took the time to listen to my concerns and preferences, and he brought a depth of knowledge that made me feel confident in his abilities. The attention to detail he demonstrated was remarkable, and the end results far exceeded my expectations. My bass now plays effortlessly and sounds richer than I could have imagined, almost as if it had been reborn.I cannot recommend Reynolds Guitar Repair highly enough to anyone seeking quality instrument repair and maintenance. Niles' commitment to excellence and his friendly demeanor create an atmosphere that sets him apart. Thank you, Niles, for your outstanding work and for making my first experience with your services truly unforgettable!

The Guitar Whisperer!!! Totally trust your precious instruments to be well-cared for by a knowledgeable, honest craftsman. He fixed my 2000 Martin HD28 after it developed a hairline crack in the top....the crack is stable and somehow it sounds and plays even better? He has some kind of magic.Next I brought my 1973 S. Yairi and he fixed the action, tuned up the tuners, and gave it a good polish. It is 50 years old, but it looks and plays like new again. It is really comforting to have an expert (and did I say he is also super nice...talked me out of blaming myself for the crack!) to consult. Thank you! 🎶🙏❤️

Phenomenal service. I have had Nyles do work on my guitars about half a dozen times now, and he always does a spectacular job. In particular I like to use a lot of drop tunings (Drop A#, C Standard, etc.), and Nyles is the only person I have found in Reno who has consistently done an excellent job setting them up. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a guitar tech.

Nyles Reynolds went above and beyond on the bridge reglue for my Cordoba classical guitar. He cleaned and polished the frets, changed strings, and even gave me a guitar humidifier to prevent the same issue going forward. He was really pleasant and easy to communicate with and had a really fast response time. I loved being able to quickly text with him. I am glad that I found Reynolds guitar and highly recommend.

Nyles is an awesome guy. He made my acoustic and electric much easier to play. I hD him do a full set up on both and new strings on the Strat. He is professional, very quick turnaround and fairly priced.

I just got my electric guitar back from Niles and I have to say I'm very impressed with his work. The guitar required fret work, intonation, Floyd rose adjustment and some electrical. The guitar is set up better now than it was when it was new and all for a very reasonable price. If you need work done on your guitar, give him a call.

Nyles is super knowledgeable and friendly. We took my son's 3/4 Fender Squier in for a set-up and it sounds great when my 10 year old is playing. Nyles knows loads about guitars and I highly recommend Reynolds Guitar Repair.

Nyles is great! We needed some insight on some repair of very used guitars for our son to use to learn on and we got that plus great work on an electric guitar for a fair price. I love being able to support a small and local entrepreneur with great ethics and skills!

Nyles is the best guitar repair guy in all of Reno. Don't bother going to the Guitar Shop. Nyles is highly trained and has the experience to help you with all your guitar repairs. Electric or acoustic doesn't matter, he tells you up front what your guitars needs and has the work done in a reasonable time and for a fair price. I thought my 1978 12 string Ovation was beyond repair (warped deck) but Nyles figured out a way to repair it! That guitar sings! I highly recommend Nyles Guitar Repair.

Nyles did a re fret on my almost 50yr old Gibson Heritage I bought new shortly after high school, I told him My Breedlove was always easier to play than the Gibson, he suggested I bring in my Breed love in and he would try to match the Gibsons action to the Breedlove. OH MY GOD! his work was impeccable! My Gibson has never played so nice and the fret work was nothing short of perfect! What more can I say!

I am so glad that my friend recommended Reynolds’s Guitar Repair to me. Niles has recently two of my guitars, one a Yamaha AC3R and the other a Guild F30. He has done outstanding work on both. He gets the work done on time and his attention to detail is amazing, One of the guitars needed some fret work and the frets now look better and play smother than ever. His prices are incredibly reasonable and he’s a great guy to interact with. He’s now my go to guy for guitar repair. I wish I could give him more than five stars. He’s the best I’ve ever used.

I have been looking for a go-to place to take my guitar in Reno. I had tried other shops but was never really happy with the quality of the work nor with the price point - I am so happy to have found my shop! I cannot say enough good things about Nyles. I dropped off my guitar Sunday afternoon and picked it up the next day. He works very hard to get your work done as soon as possible while maintaining a high degree of quality. Other shops in Reno charge over double the price and offer less than half the quality and experience. Additionally, I have found other shops treat me like a number and are a bit condescending at times. In speaking with Nyles, one understands right away that they are speaking to someone who is truly passionate about, and loves, what they do - it feels like talking to a close friend rather than someone you are doing business with. Heck, he even complimented my guitar when I took it out of its case! I cannot say enough good things about Reynolds Guitar Repair!

My 20 year old + Martin acoustic needed some new tuners and a look over. Niles was prompt and enjoyable to talk to regarding the guitar. He spotted some hairline cracking on some frets and addressed those also. Highly recommended "Neighborhood" Luthier!

Got the pleasure of hanging out with Niles while waiting to get to my guitar. Seems very knowledgeable, and has a tendency to put in just that little bit of extra effort to get it right. Prices seems fair, and am super happy with the way my guitar turned out. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to get some luthier work done.
Brian B.
01:40 02 Oct 20
Service is quick, reliable, priced well and high quality. Niles installed new pickups on my electric guitar and recrowned the frets on my acoustic guitar in one day. I’ll definitely go back if I have anymore guitar repair needs.

I absolutely love Reynolds Guitar repair! I've been taking my bass guitars to them for about a year now, and my basses have never sounded any better! I bought an Ibanez sr300 from guitar center and it had a lot of fret buzz and many other issues, so I took it to Reynolds Guitar repair. Within the same week I got the bass back and all the fret buzz was gone and the bass sounded amazing. Highly recommend Reynolds Guitar Repair.
