Brooklyn Fretworks provides bespoke solutions to guitar design, modification and repair. Your instrument, optimized for the way you make music. We take time to listen to you and learn how we can best help you.

Joseph “Chip” Tait has been a high-end woodworker for 25 years. He earned his Master’s Certification in Furniture Craft and Design in 2002 at the Thomas Chippendale school, where he studied under Master Craftsman Nicholas Chandler.

He built his first guitar from scratch in 2018, and hasn’t stopped since. In 2022, Chip earned the distinction of Certified Guitar Technician after completing the Master’s Guitar Repair Luthier’s Course at Southeast Guitar Repair Academy where he studied under Certified Master Luthier Barrett Culpepper. Chip remains enrolled at SEGRA where he continues his studies remotely. When you choose to work with Brooklyn Fretworks, you get the expertise of all the luthiers at SEGRA on your side.

Brooklyn Fretworks will tailor our services to fit your needs, special requirements, and your budget. The really cool thing about operating a bespoke lutherie is that no two jobs are exactly the same. We look forward to repairing and maintaining your prized instruments. Make an appointment today to discuss having a custom instrument crafted just for you, catering to your unique aesthetic. Thank you for your consideration!
