A little something about us

The Fingerboard Extension is a fretted instrument and drum store catering to local residents. We carry a wide selection of hardware for both fretted instruments and drums and we also carry many consignments, leading to a varied selection of merchandise. So drop by and see what new and interesting items we have in stock, or just stop by and try one of our many instruments.

The Fingerboard Extension started in 1978 when Ted Tom, an accomplished guitar, banjo, mandolin, and dobro player, opened the store out of his home. From its humble beginnings in Ted and Keta Tom's house, the Fingerboard Extension has now become a hub for local Corvallis musicians.

Leigh Williamson, our knowledgeable staff, works hard to get repairs done quickly and at very reasonable prices. Leigh Williamson plays metal guitar and records for other musicians. Keta Tom, the owner, will take care of your ordering needs if we do not have what you are searching for currently in stock. We do not, however, do mail orders (sorry!).
