Guitar Repairs
I offer personalised setup and repair services tailored to your individual needs.
your playing style and your specific preferences are important - such as genre, string gauge, preferred action, etc. I'm always happy to tweak a setup after completion for no charge if isn't to your liking - setups are a very personal thing, so sometimes a secondary adjustment can be necessary, especially with changes in the weather and humidity - don't be afraid to reach out if this is the case
