  • I’d recommend Ben at Cooke’s Band Instruments in Norwich for all your east Anglian tech needs. The only tech I use for my guitars.

    Question: Is John @ JXG Guitars still functioning as the link is to a Japanese real estate advisory service.  Would like a set up on one of my guitars but not sure about GuitarGuitar handling it...Cheers!

    A big recommendation for Leo ‘the Guitar Man’ in Letchworth - close to Stevenage and Hitchin.

    He’s a miracle worker. Repaired a big chip in the neck of my Les Paul to the point where you honestly can’t see it was ever there. A very friendly and chatty guy too.

    Does anyone know if Guitar Doc in Dumfries is still working?
    His website seems to have disappeared. 
    If not, any other  reccendations for a setup / fret dress in Dumfries and Galloway?

    @TTony Just a thought...

    Any mileage in subdividing this category into areas such as north east, south west, Midlands, etc?
    I play guitar because I enjoy it rather than because I’m any good at it

    Do people still recommend Howard Smith in the Leicester area, had any work done recently? Read contrasting reports of late so was wondering if he was still "the man"?

    Cheers

    My head said brake, but my heart cried never.

    +1 for Paul at arrowhead guitars, set up was done within a day, even though he was busy, used the strings I wanted and set the action just how I like it.

    John Phillips at Strung Out Guitars is excellent.  Has looked after my guitars for over 25 years and I cannot talk too highly about him, simply excellent

  • Manchester Guitar Tech @SteveRobinson did a lovely job refretting my Strat, very happy with the job. Worth the drive from Wales to get to him.
    I'm just a Maserati in a world of Kias.

  • Shout out for Gordon at Single Coil in Leeds. He sorted me out with a sweet set up on my Les Paul a few months back.

  • I could do with recommendations for taking an Acoustic somewhere in London. Most of the guys on Denmark Street seem to work on Electrics most of the time. Also one of the shops around there carved into my fretboard with their fret file last time I took my Tele in.

    She may be piled up though, push for a realistic time estimate.

    These guys are very good (Barnet but its on the Tube) they make acoustics as well as repair and set them up. They've done loads of work for me in the past when I worked in Watford.

    Can anyone recommend a good person to use for a refret of a strat near York & Leeds please?

    anyone got recommendations for someone experienced with upmarket acoustics 
    Area: Chester, Wirral, Liverpool, Warrington, Manchester, Crewe

    e.g. to look at what looks to me like a hump around the 12th fret on a 14-fret-body join guitar
