Meet Your Repair Tech
Repairs at Rock Solid Music are handled by Doug Glazier, our in-house technician. Doug is an excellent guitar player in his own right and a phenomenal repair tech when it comes to stringed instruments, which means the person setting up your guitar actually plays one.
Because Doug works out of our shop at 420 Cambridge Street, you can talk to the person doing the work. Bring the instrument in, tell him what is bothering you about the way it plays, and you will hear what he thinks it needs before anything is touched. Nothing leaves the building and nothing gets handed off to a third party.
How a Repair Works at Rock Solid
1. Bring it in. No appointment is needed for most repairs. Come by during store hours, Tuesday through Friday from 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM or Saturday from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
2. We diagnose it. We look the instrument over and work out what it actually needs, rather than guessing at a number over the phone.
3. You get a quote first. You get an honest assessment and a price before any work begins, with no surprise charges.
4. You pick it up. Most setups and minor repairs are turned around quickly. Larger jobs like structural repair and full restorations take longer, so ask us for a timeline when you drop the instrument off.

Why Local Repair Beats Shipping It Out
Plenty of stores take your instrument in and send it somewhere else. Your guitar spends time in a box, you wait weeks, and the person who actually did the work is someone you will never speak to.
We do it the other way. Every repair is done in house at 420 Cambridge Street in Midland. You can ask questions and get a straight answer, and you are not paying to ship an instrument in either direction. If something is not right when you get it back, the shop that did the work is a short drive away.
While the work is happening we carry replacement hardware in store along with strings, picks, straps, cables and cases, so you can restock on the same trip.
Serving Midland and the Great Lakes Bay Region
Rock Solid Music is at 420 Cambridge Street in Midland, Michigan, easy to find, with parking right out front. We are locally owned, which means your repair dollars stay in the community. Players come to us from across the Great Lakes Bay Region, including Bay City and Saginaw.
We work on all brands, all budgets and all skill levels. A beginner instrument gets the same care as a vintage piece. If you play it and it has strings, bring it in and we will tell you honestly whether we can help.
We also buy, sell and trade instruments. If a repair quote is more than the instrument is worth to you, ask about a trade before you decide.
