“If you ever need any work doing on any guitar…. take it to Andy no matter where you are.  He’s an excellent skilled craftsman and really knows his stuff, he’s very fairly priced and genuinely cares about what he does and loves doing it.  A top guy, and I can’t thank him enough” (Various repairs)

Finding Andy was a Godsend.  He’s done some really great work on my ‘seriously in need of love’ guitars and I can’t thank him enough for the care and attention he’s given to me/them.
!964 Hofner 500/1 Violin Bass restoration.
Andy went over and above with my treasured bass. The Hofner was in poor condition and required a full rebuild…..however seeing it bits on his bench was not a pleasant experience.
Both pickups re-wound, electronics rebuilt, neck straightened, tuning head replacement, volume pot repair, volume/tone knobs sourced, fitted and ‘aged’, damaged headstock emblem repaired, damaged frets dressed and polished, nut and bridge adjusted, body waxed and polished, and a full set up.  The pickups were sent away for an original spec rebuild and came back like new. They sound fantastic.  The replacement tuning head was an original Hofner that I had sourced in Germany but was a slightly different shape to the originals and looked out of place being brand new.  Not a problem…. Andy reshaped the head and gave it a nice aged look that matches the originals perfectly.
It plays absolutely great now and sounds like it should. Andy did absolutely stunning work on this and I can’t thank him enough.
90’s Takamine EN-20 acoustic.
This is a heavily played guitar and well worn. Andy repaired a hole in the body that had worn through from years of enthusiastic rhythm playing. A new piece of wood was grafted in a blended with the body.
A couple of braces under the soundboard had fallen out so re-braced and an extra brace inserted to sort a crack in the soundboard. Electronics repaired, frets filed and dressed and a full set up.  It now plays and sounds like it used to. Really happy.
90’s Fender Telecaster
My Telecaster had heavily worn frets which I thought would need replacing. Andy managed to polish them down and save them. It plays like new and I cannot notice any difference in the way it plays from the day I bought it. Set up really nicely too.
1974 Rickenbacker 4001 bass
My Rickenbacker needed the neck straightened, electronics sorting and frets and fingerboard needed attention. Andy has brought this bass back to new.  Its absolutely stunning now and plays beautifully.
I genuinely never realised how much it needed sorting until it was done.  Extremely happy with the work.
