Welcome to Instrument Repair of La Crosse
I have been working on guitars for over 40 years. I have repaired/setup guitars from famous rock stars to the guy who plays on 3rd and Pearl here in LaCrosse. I run a friendly little shop, no sales pressure. In fact my shop sells only used and vintage guitars. Bring my dog to work, drink lots of coffee and you might find me jamming away when you walk in. Stop in when you are in town!

EXCELLENTBased on 40 reviewsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.John Licari2024-09-09Jimbo Zill is fantastic. I drive 3 hours, 1 way, to have Jimbo keep all my gear running smooth. A bottomless pit of good, honest information. No b.s. High praise for his craftsmanship, and- I am shocked how little he charges for such high quality work!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Adam Bauer2024-08-16Just got a beautiful acoustic fender here today for an already amazing price and he even threw in free strings and a pick with it. Definitely the greatest guitar shop in town, it has everything you will ever need and the most friendly owner!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Sküder Bodymods2024-04-08Jimbo is a great guy and very knowledgeable about the instruments he repairs and sells. Would definitely suggest to go here.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Lyle Schwartz2024-03-12The guy is top notch. Friendly, does great work, has good pricing, and unlike Dave's he actually does the work you ask for and calls you when it's done.

I had work done on my Martin 00016 and my Alverez acoustic..we are talking bridge-off and braces work. Now my only problem is deciding which are gets to be played! Thank you Jim!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Ronin Alexander2023-10-14My amp's tubes had burnt out last week, so I brought it down to Dave's. Their amp technician wasn't in today, so they recommended I try across the street. Amp was taken care of in no time while my brother and I took a look around. Very cool guitars and gear in the store and the owner was extremely helpful in answering questions and letting me know what was going on with my amp during the process.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.PJ Mergen2023-09-06Excellent work on a recent neck reset. Was told by several other shops that it either wasn't worth it or couldn't be done. Jimbo took care of it! Very happy with the results.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Ciara Schmitz (C)2023-07-27Extremely awesome!! Repaired my broken neck on my precious fender acoustic guitar with great attention to detail and very reasonable pricing. I almost think it sounds better now!! He is my go-to guy for any of my guitar repairs and tune ups. Highly, highly recommend.
Jimbo has refretted my guitars, fixed my amps and, always helped me out with his vast knowledge. There is always a nice , revolving choice of instruments in the store and he is amazing at repair-doing things I thought were impossible....
Great place & atmosphere! Trust me, if something's not right, Jimbo will make it right! Doesn't matter if you're young or old, a beginner or seasoned vet...!
I will always, from any point on the globe, first consult IRL and James Zill on instrument repair, refurbishment, or before dropping a load of cash on an obscure find...
Jimbo has always taken great care of me. From a headstock repair to all new electronics in a Les Paul. He has always done great work at a very reasonable price.
Always happy with the quality and service!!! When it needs to be done right and right now Jim is my first choice every time!
I've had nothing but great interactions with Jimbo. Good gear, pro attitude, and really just a fun place to hang and learn. And the repairs... Top notch!
Instrument Repair of La Crosse is the best! Highly recommended to any and all musicians who are in need of a quick and affordable fix!
