    Adding Dan "The guitar engineer" to the list.

    He's based in berkhamsted so good for South bucks/Herts. He recently did a great job levelling the frets and setting up one of my guitars.

    Had good service from Stuart at Berkshire Amp Repairs  ( https://www.fixguitaramps.co.uk/ ) .  Fixed the amp on the spot in 15 mins, and then let me drive away with it and PayPal him from home because I didn't have any cash on me (it's a long story  :# )

    Just moved to West Thurrock and wondered if there were any recommended shops or techs in the area. Can’t really see anything. Looking for a set up

  • Anyone know of a place/person that can do a really thorough setup/service on strats in Cambridgeshire area?

  • Yet another shout out for Terry Chapman in Stevenage, Herts.  Did a fantastic full set up on my fender custom shop tele but left me depressed because I thought I knew what i was doing with set ups!  Top guy.

    Not quite local, but Rob at RH Guitars in Derby is amazing 
    Too much gain... is just about enough \m/

    I'm probably the only member of this forum mentioned by name in Whiskey in the Jar ;)

    Can recommend Robin at Remade Guitars in Abingdon - replaced my Strat bridge to a Wilkinson for £40 including a setup, electrics check, new strings and the bridge  
    +1 for Robin at Remade. He has now relocated to Dolgellau and opened a small shop in the town (still does pop ups in Abingdon).  He has replaced a floyd rose on my washburn mg42 and  lowered the saddle, nut + set up my Taylor 114, both great work.

    Yet another +1 for Feline Guitars in Croydon. Just picked up one of my guitars after a fret-dress and set up and it is playing better than it ever has. Highly recommended and will certainly use again whenever the need arises.

  • John Proctor - Nunnhead in South East London.

    Great guy and I've had 4 guitars set up or repaired by him!  Really nice guy too.

  • Paul Cuthbert - near Royston, Hertfordshire.

    I went to him to put the final finishing touches on my self-build Strat project...and he did loads more than I was expecting and the thing came back sounding absolutely stunning.

    I took one of my PRSs to him today for new pickups and a custom wiring harness. He is incredibly easy to talk to, and sits down with you and runs through all the possible options to get your guitar to sound how you want it to.

    I’ll take my other two guitars there next week. 10/10, would recommend very much.

    I don’t have a gambling problem, I’m winning, and winning is not a problem for me. That’s like saying that Iron Maiden have an awesomeness problem.

    Another recommendation for David Kennett at Flame Guitars who has just done a very good and thorough setup for me, my guitar is playing 100% better now than before he touched it. He has a lot of knowledge and experience to bring to bear.

  • Just another mention for Jacks Instrument Services in Manchester - he had a stall at the guitar show this weekend. I’ve used him for a couple of refrets, some wiring work and will soon be taking him up on a bespoke scratch plate. He is a top fella, busy, but well worth seeking out  :)

    Gerry at haze guitars set up my basses and now my guitars, very professional and honest. I would say is one of the best in Ireland. He is based in Lucan (next to Dublin).

    https://hazeguitars.com

    His website is loaded of news and tips (blog section), have a look.
