History
Chicago Fret Works opened in 2008 with owner/luthiers Dan Wolf and Steve Baker. Master amp technician Patrick McKeever joined soon after, making CFW a one-stop repair headquarters for Chicago area musicians. New in 2019, the Outpost at Fort Knox makes it easier than ever to get your repairs into the hands of Chicagoland's best guitar and amp repair shop.
Specialties
The Outpost provides extended business hours and easy highway access for Chicago Fret Works, Chicago's favorite guitar and amp service shop since 2008. The Outpost is located inside Fort Knox rehearsal studios - moments from the Montrose exit off I90/94. Tenants and non-tenants can drop off guitars, basses, and amplifiers for repairs and service on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. New or vintage, acoustic or electric, tube or solid-state, Chicago Fret Works' goal is to provide the finest repair, care, and restoration anywhere with outstanding customer service.
