Had an Epiphone SG in that was not used for a long time

With age brings a few problems, grimey neck, the body lacking luster, a little switch dirt and a loose output wire

All cleaned down and fixed up!

Neck cleaned and treated, graphite in the nut, frets polished, electrics checked, pickups balanced and a set up. Lastly a smack of polish to bring it back to the vibrant red

Ready to go again!

This beaut ESP e ii Horizon in for a once over

A beautiful guitar. I love budget guitars but you can't deny the build quality on these. Well worth the money and a wonderful neck for playability

This sx bass wasn't even making a peep. Absolutely no audio, not even a crackle

Turned out the wiring was in a right stare and as usual thr jack socket also needed replaced. You can see in the first picture a loose wire or two. A few wires also had cold solders

Glad to get this back in action!

I love wiring!

Little pot replacement

I was quiet since Xmas with the run up to the wedding and recording my album.

Happily married, the album is almost finished and I've a lot more time again for all your techy needs.

Just shoot me a message. Everything from basic set ups, wiring and upgrades.

Don't be shy or think a set ups not for you if you're just starting out. Guitar maintenance and set ups can be tricky to understand and you might think they cost a fortune.

They don't and the service is there for anyone at any level who wants the most out of their instrument!

Full rewire for this tele deluxe (hand built)

Everything but the pickups was replaced. We went with a new pot value to settle it down a bit.

Amazing build and a lovely guitar (even playing it upside down 😂

----------------

After a year of working on other people's guitars, I can't describe how thankful I am for people bringing me their instruments.

I've had some time off while other jobs in my life required more attention. I'll be opening up for more work so do get in touch

Also, going forward, I am recommending clients allow me to order their parts when possible. It'll save headaches and save you money in the long run

My prices are changing *still v reasonable* and i hope to offer other services soon as i continue to grow and challenge myself x

This Taylor GS mini was in for a set up.

Few fret dents filed out, and the action lowered quite a bit. Intonation adjusted, truss adjusted and tuners tightened.

I had 2 koa versions of these (down to one now). Lovely guitars but they do tend to suffer high action straight from the factory.

My own suffered a bit of tuning stability out of the box but it was rectified with a bit of nut work.

I've heard harley benton have made versions of these. Wouldn't mind a try of one to compare.

Especially plugged in as the mini gs all sound great, it can be so hard to get an acoustic to sound good through a preamp.

There's 2 preamp versions on the GSs, I have my fave but I'm not telling ye 😛

These are small but very mighty! I'd dodged parlour guitars for years but now I love them!

From dent to no dent

Then it's polish time

Dents like this can mess a little with intonation. Plus it doesn't look pretty

If youve stainless steel frets, this will never happen.

A huge buying point if you're looking for a guitar that will last a lifetime.

Fender telecaster custom was in for a set up, pickguard change and a general once over on everything

Love getting grime off necks too, you never really notice until you're right up in there 😂

So hard to get a good photo of a black guitar, but that's the price you pay for the coolest colour! 👌
