Experienced Guitar Technicians
A good setup can completely change how an instrument feels. We adjust action, intonation, tuning stability and general playability to help your guitar perform at its best. We work on electric guitars, acoustic guitars, bass guitars and other fretted instruments.
Repairs, Upgrades & Fault Diagnosis
From noisy pots and faulty jack sockets to pickup upgrades and wiring issues, our team can assess the problem and recommend the most sensible solution. Not every instrument needs major repair work; sometimes a simple adjustment, restring or setup is all that's required.
Nut, Saddle & Acoustic Guitar Work
We can carry out nut adjustments, nut replacements, saddle adjustments and acoustic pickup installations. Some parts may need to be ordered specially depending on the instrument, and we will always advise you before carrying out the work. Please note that we do not usually undertake major structural acoustic repairs such as wooden bridge replacements.
