Guitar Repair Services

The below are some of the services offered. However if you don't see what you want done below just give me a call and I can tell you if I can do it.

Setup

A basic service for your guitar.  Check and adjust the action at the nut, neck relief and overall action.  Polish frets and oil/polish the fingerboard. Check and adjust pickup height and intonation.  A new set of strings and a polish.

Full Set-up

Same as above but with a full fret level, crown and polish

Refinishing

Generally I finish guitars in nitro cellulose lacquer - available in just about any colour or could be a clear finish to show of the grain.  Also can finish in oil/wax or water based lacquer.

 

Re-painting a guitar requires specialist spraying equipment and a lot of patience as it is a lengthy process. 

Electronics

Trouble shooting of electronics that have given up or making too much noise. 

 

Replacing pickups is very common as often stock pickups don't make your guitar sound it's best.  Upgrade with a set of Duncans, Lollars or Bare Knuckles.  Upgrades of pots, caps switches and wiring also offered.

Pickup Rewinds
Re-fret

Guitars that have been around for a number of years will have fret wear - usually small divots mostly where open chords are played or flattened out all over the neck from bending strings on the relatively soft nickel silver fret material. This can affect intonation and contribute to fret buzz.


In some cases a fret level (full set-up option) is all that is required.  Sometimes a partial or full re-fret is where some or all of the frets are removed, replaced and then leveled, crowned and polished. 

Hardware Upgrades

Upgrade your bridge, tuners, pickguard or knobs? You need to know what will fit and what won't.  There are a lot of options and I can talk you through what will work.

Cavity Shielding

Cover the inside cavities and underside of the pickguard of your electric with copper tape to reduce unwanted noise cause by electromagnetic interference.

 

Other

Neck resets, headstock breaks, convert your bass to fretless, broken braces etc. etc.

Rewinding services available for dead pickups or if you want a custom hand made pickup to spec.
