Real repair work, carried out every week in our workshop. With over 30 years of hands-on experience, we provide professional guitar and amplifier repairs across the North of England, working on everything from everyday player instruments to well-loved favourites and high-value guitars. We handle setups, refrets, structural repairs, modifications and amplifier servicing in-house. Every instrument is assessed properly, repaired carefully, and set up to suit the player — not rushed through with generic settings.
Every guitar that comes in is treated as an individual. We take the time to understand the problem, how the guitar is being used, and what the player wants from it. Sometimes the fix is simple, sometimes it’s more involved — either way, we’ll explain the options clearly before any work is carried out. Our workshop handles a wide range of repair work, from straightforward restringing and setups through to complex mechanical and structural issues. We don’t outsource repairs, and we don’t cut corners. The aim is always the same: a guitar that feels right, plays properly and can be relied on.
Structural damage doesn’t automatically mean the end of a guitar. Headstock breaks, cracks and other forms of damage are surprisingly common, and in many cases can be repaired successfully with the right approach. We carry out structural repairs with strength, stability and longevity in mind. Repairs are planned carefully and carried out using appropriate techniques to restore the integrity of the instrument while respecting its original character. Where a repair isn’t sensible or cost-effective, we’ll be honest and explain why.
The difference between a guitar that’s “OK” and one that feels genuinely good to play is often down to the details. Fretwork, bridge fitment, cavity routing, hardware alignment and clean finishing all have a direct impact on playability, tuning stability and feel. We take a careful, methodical approach to this kind of work. Nothing is rushed, and nothing is done simply to get the job out of the door. Attention to detail is what makes a repair last — and what makes a guitar enjoyable to play.
We offer a collection and return service across the North of England ( And even further afield ) Guitars and amplifiers are collected at a pre-arranged time, brought to our workshop for repair, and returned once the work is complete. Most repairs are completed within around a week, depending on the nature of the work. If something is likely to take longer, we’ll always let you know in advance.
Tell us a bit about the repair you need and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible.
