What we do

Restring - Changing strings can be daunting for a beginner and time consuming for everyone else, a poorly strung guitar won’t stay in tune and is nasty to play. Includes a quick clean and nut lubrication.

Input jack repair/upgrade - the most common problem in electric guitars is the crackly jack. Fix the original on a classic, or upgrade for piece of mind.

Nuts!!! - one of the most important and often overlooked parts of the guitars feel and sound is the guitars nut. With bone, Brass, Micarta, Graphite, Steel, Ebony, Titanium alloy and even Fossilsed Mammoth Ivory to choose from and all with slightly different characteristics which one is right for you?

Full Setup - So why does your guitar need a setup? Mostly made from wood guitars are susceptible to movement caused by temperature and humidity changes that can lead to a less than perfectly playing guitar, after a change of string gauge to compensate for a different tension across the neck, or to improve playability, tuning stability and action. A well setup guitar is a joy to play, whilst a poorly set up guitar will hold you back. The Full Setup includes Neck relief, nut string height, saddle string height, intonation, electrics check, pickup height adjustment, fret clean and fretboard condition if needed, thorough clean and a new set of strings.

Fretwork - the fretboard is your connection to your guitar and deserves to be perfect let’s keep it that way with high quality professional fretwork. Partial refretting, high fret levelling, loose fret fixing, sharp fret end smoothing, dull fret polishing goodness.

Fret Dress - a smooth fast fretboard is a must for perfect playability a quality fret dress will refresh a tired fingerboard. The Fret Dress includes fret reseating, fret level, re-crowning, end dressing and full polish for a silky smooth feel.

Full refret - sometimes only a whole new set of frets will do, if they are worn out, the wrong size, or the wrong material a full refret will fix the problem. Including a new nut and full setup.

Neck reset - over time the constant tension of strings against a wooden guitar body can cause the neck angle to change, and sometimes only taking that neck off and re shaping the neck\body joint is the only thing to do.

Pickup fitting - love the feel but the sound isn’t quite right? Fitting new pickups into your pride and joy may re kindle the romance. With more options than ever before, now is the time to make that change.

Wax potting - weird noises, odd harmonics and excessively microphonic pickups? Wax potting might be the answer, potting pickups involves filling any air spaces inside the winding with wax preventing lots of unwanted noise.

Custom wiring - from a simple Strat blend mod, to a fully installed fuzz factory or midi pad, electronically almost anything is possible.

Cavity shielding - many guitars, especially those with single coil pickups suffer from electrical hum. Caused by electromagnetic interference, often from fluorescent lighting the best remedy is a a fully shielded electronics cavity.

Hardware upgrades - everything on a guitar can be changed, upgrades are one part of getting the instrument you want. From new saddles or tuning heads to a whole new tremolo system changing the hardware on your guitar will give you endless possibilities.

Repair/Restore/Refinish - broken headstocks cracked body’s, raised bridges, dents, chips, scratches, or a total change of look with a full refinish or custom paint.
