A Little About AM Guitar Works

Alan Morrison, owner of AM Guitar Works has been playing, repairing, customizing, and building guitars for over 40 years. “I started doing this type of work in the '80s, working full time at a music store, where I gained a lot of experience with guitar and amplifier repair. Since then I have continued to build and customize guitars and service amplifiers for myself and others as well.”

Alan has a degree in Electronics Technology and learned fretwork at the Chicago School of Guitar Making. He is also a working musician as lead guitarist in Identity Crisis, a 12 piece classic rock band based in the Quad Cities. He is skilled in all aspects of guitar repair and customizing including fretwork, finish repair and refinishing, electronic repair and upgrading, as well as structural repair. Alan is also the author of the book "How to Make Money in the Guitar Biz" where he shares his knowledge of guitars and business strategies.

Our experts are here to find you the right guitar, help you learn new skills, and make sure your instrument is the best it can be.
