Rauen Guitars

I called to ask for guidance about whether the seam splitting between my soundboard and the body of my GS4 needed to be a luthier-done repair, hoping simply for an explanation as to the extra level of knowledge and experience that would be necessary to do the job right. The gentleman I spoke to was evasive, dismissive, and completely unhelpful. I also need an electric guitar re-fretted, but I’ll most certainly be taking my business elsewhere.

Denny was an absolute delight to work with. I received my father’s guitar and he took excellent care of it and got it set up for me to use. It sounds beautiful and he was able to give me a better idea of the model and age. He had great communication and I would definitely recommend and go back to him for my future needs.

Denny's a master at assessing a guitar's condition and knowing exactly how to restore it or change it to the customers desire

My setup was just fantastic. My Tele plays like butter. Denny was just a pleasure to work with. I will definitely recommend his business to friends.

It is probably an understatement to call Denny a master luthier. He is an artist, an innovator, a wizard, an engineer, and a craftsman of the highest order. Since the first instrument I brought to Denny nearly 20 years ago, he has been a mentor and collaborator, offering feedback and guidance about what might work best for my instrument and technique. He has always been friendly and honest, operating with utmost integrity. I appreciate that he has been open to some of my experimental requests. There’s something profound about leaving an instrument with Rauen Guitars; it undoubtedly comes back imbued with some magic. Thank you, Denny, for your years of amazing service!!

Wow, what a great experience having a true craftsman fix my 68 335. Refretted, saddle bridge renewed and the action set like new. Denny knows his stuff and is eager to share his knowledge with you. Rauen Guitars, one call thats all!

I have been very impressed with Mr Rauen. He is #1 in my book. His set up's come back perfect for me. John L

Denny is a fascinating luthier. He has now worked on three different guitars of mine, each with three different types of repairs. And each time, he has knocked it out of the park. He is a very nice and caring man as well. I love his story about meeting Leo Fender and the joy he has when telling it. Denny is very passionate about his craft. I highly recommend him for any of your guitar repair needs!

This was a great venue for my kids birthday party. The space is very kid friendly and full of sets and craft materials and inspiration.

Rauen guitars are fantastic. The work they did on my guitar was second to none and they are a breeze to work with. Thanks again! I can't stop playing it.
