What I do...
I provide set-up, repair and maintenance services to guitarists. My setups are second to none and I have received some wonderful testimonials. Although many customers find me through this site, a sizeable proportion of my work comes from repeat business and word-of-mouth recommendations.
A non-exhaustive list of my services is:
Setups
General repair and maintenance
Fret-dressing and refrets
Replacement nuts
Pickup and hardware upgrades
Structural repairs
All electrical repairs and customisations
BUT, apart from "spot repairs" to finishes done in the course of other repairs, I don't do refinishing / paint jobs at all.
See my Price List for a complete list of jobs (and prices!)
Where I do it...
I have a workshop at home in Northampton where I repair all kind of stringed instruments and also make furniture for friends and relatives when time allows!
When I will do it...
I will try to work to your timescales. In most cases I can provide a fast turnaround on minor repairs. I will never undertake unnecessary work and will always advise owners honestly. Owners are always consulted fully before any work not previously agreed is undertaken. I will guarantee that whilst your guitar is with me it will be treated with care and respect. All guitars are cleaned and polished before being delivered back to their owners.
Why I do it....
Because I love guitars.
