Repairs & Mods


Is your guitar in need of some tender loving care, or do you want to mod it to suit your needs better? From a good setup, to repairing broken bits, to really changing what your guitar is capable of - I'd love to help you out. We discuss the details by mail or phone before. If needed, I can help you with designing mods (wiring and switching design, recommendations on which pickups would work, what brass saddles would do for you etc.) . We agree on a price before the work starts, so there are no surprises. You can either bring in and collect your instrument, or we do everything by mail.
