As a small business your satisfaction is very important to us, and we strive to ensure our services are fairly priced. Currently our services are by appointment only.
A few things we’re great at
What to expect when you engage with us…
Consultation
If you’ve purchased a budget guitar or a guitar requiring some fixes then reach out to us via our email address. We’ll agree a time and method of accessing the guitar.
Assessment
We’ll look at your guitar and provide you with an assessment of its condition and a list of services we could provide to improve its playability.
Complete work
We’ll agree the scope and cost with you before any work is started. Once you’re happy with the quote we’ll provide you with regular updates on how your work is going.
collection
When your guitar is ready we’ll work with you to arrange its return to you.
Unfortunately we can only accept cash payments at this time.
