A general overhaul that includes a deep clean and polish, fret buff and polish, fretboard clean and condition, intonation check, hardware check and clean and a restring.

Setups
We’ll set up your classical, acoustic or electric guitar to suit the way you like to play and sound. We do the lot, including neck relief, action & intonation, truss rod & bridge saddle/s adjustments, pickup height check & adjustment, tuning machines check & lubrication, fret dressing and recrowning to address minor pitting, fret clean up and polish, fretboard clean & condition and overall clean and polish and restring. We carry a selection of strings or you may supply your own if you wish. Because every player is different, we quote on each set up individually depending on how much needs to be done to get your guitar just right for you.

Bridge Repairs and Reglues
We specialise in repairs to guitar bridges that are lifting or have separated from the soundboard. This type of damage can be quite common in lower priced mass produced guitars where the initial glueing is not totally effective or in very old guitars as the glue ages and deteriorates. This is not necessarily a major repair if the bridge hasn’t warped and if the soundboard isn’t too badly damaged but it does need to be addressed as early as possible to avoid significant damage to the soundboard. So loosen the strings to minimise any further lifting and contact us to discuss the best way to get your guitar back to its best.
-
Repairs, Electronics and Other Services
We offer an extensive range of other services such as cleaning and detailing, repairs to damaged soundboards or bodies, repairs to guitar electronics, pitted frets, finish touch ups and repairs, replacement of hardware and parts, restoration and rebuilds as well as general maintenance and repairs. We’ll give you a quote after an assessment of labour and parts required to get the job done….and yes, we do service bass guitars and other string instruments. Call us for a chat or email us to book in.

General Maintenance
Your guitar is just like your car or any item of precision equipment. To keep it at its best it needs to be serviced every now and then. How often? Well, that depends on how much use (or abuse) it gets. We’ll check the neck relief, intonation and clean and condition the fretboard and anything else that needs checking or adjusting. Get in touch to book your instrument in for some TLC.
