Your Sound,
Our Passion
The connection between a musician and their instrument is very personal, and an instrument straight from the shop or factory is not necessarily right for you. We can help; whether you need fine adjustments to match your style, more significant changes to get the instrument you really want, or repairs to restore a damaged instrument.
Please note:
Prices quoted below are for guidance only, based on a “standard” guitar. All work is individually quoted based on your needs and the specifics of your instrument.
Prices exclude the cost of replacement parts and strings. Replacement parts and strings can be sourced, or you can provide your own if you prefer
Setup
From £60
Small adjustments can add up to be greater than the sum of their parts. Not all problems can be fixed with a setup, but it can make a huge difference to your playing experience. A full set up would include:
Clean and condition the fretboard
Polish frets
Restring
Adjust neck relief
Adjust string action
Check and set intonation
Adjust pickup height/balance
Adjust tremolo (if applicable)
Electrical Work
From £15
Electrical gremlins can destroy your tone. Common upgrades/repairs are listed below, but please enquire if the work you require is not listed - each instrument is individually assessed and quoted for. Please note, some guitars will require removal of strings to access certain electricals, so a restring may also be required.
Rewire output jack - £15
Rewire selector switch - from £20
Rewire potentiometer - from £20
Rewire pickups - from £25 (per pickup)
Full rewire - from £65
Fret work

Frets should be perfectly level and polished to a mirror finish for best results, but over time they get worn down and damaged.
Spot levelling and recrown - from £25
Full fret level and dress* - from £150
Complete re-fret* - from £250
* full fret level and dress and complete re-fret services include a full setup

Nuts and Saddles
Replacements from £50

Repairs
Prices on request
No job to small, or too large! From just fancying some new knobs or tuning machine, to your instrument having significant structural damage - please reach out with some information about what you want doing and I would be happy to arrange a consultation and provide a quotation for the work required.
