Guitar restringing & repairs

Instrument Maintenance

When I first moved to Scotland I looked after Ronnie’s Music in Haddington for a few months as the owner had to take a leave of absence. This including performing restrings and guitar setups and minor repairs. I’ve also been restringing my own guitars for 20 years so I know what I’m doing!

I restring, set up, and carry out minor repairs on guitars from my home workshop. Whether its a basic guitar restring or a thorough service. Proper guitar maintenance makes your instrument more responsive and comfortable to play.

Every repair starts with a direct look at your instrument, so you know what it needs and what it costs before any work begins.

How it works

From drop-off to collection

01

Drop-off and assessment

Bring your instrument to the home workshop. I check its condition and talk through what it needs.

02

Clear recommendation

You receive an honest outline of the work and its cost. Nothing proceeds without your agreement.

03

Restringing and setup

I restring, clean the fretboard, and adjust action, intonation, and neck relief as needed.

04

Testing and collection

I play the instrument through to confirm it sounds and feels right before you collect it.
