- Broken headstocks are almost never as bad as they seem at first. If you’ve had that sinking feeling when your guitar has its head snapped off, then be reassured, in almost all cases, it can be resurrected to live again….
- Electrical repairs – no problem: faulty wiring; crackling pots; improving your pickups; or fitting active electronics – these are all examples of electrical work that I am happy to undertake.
- Are your frets worn, or have you got that buzzing sound? Often a fret dress is all that is needed.
- Or perhaps you’d like a different style of frets – no problem, I can do a complete re-fret with your choice of fret wire.
- Do you want your bass converted to fretless?
Look at the gallery for some examples.

Is your vintage valve amplifier sounding tired and in need of a re-valve and re-bias?
Maybe it’s completely dead?
Perhaps you’d like a complete renovation?
Or just a service and checkover?
If so, I can help!
PLEASE NOTE: I no longer repair amplifiers built after 1980 – even valve ones.
They are just not designed to be maintained and so the time taken to diagnose and repair makes it uneconomic. I would suggest you contact the manufacturer direct, who should be able to help. Marshall in particular are fairly local (Milton Keynes) and helpful. Sorry.
