Guitars tune and play better when set-up correctly
Guitar Diagnostics and Repairs
Simple repairs and services to rebuilding an instrument
Maybe you bought a new instrument that has not been set up as well as it could before it left the factory - it often happens!
You may have bought a second hand instrument that looked good at the time but really needs some fixing to be played easily.
Often, older and even cheaper instruments can be restored and set up to play better than more expensive guitars.
A broken neck may not always be the end of the world

Speaker cab building and speaker supplies
We have been agents for Celestion speakers and can supply a wide range of drivers for various applications and build custom cabinets. Some guitarists need very portable but adequately high power speakers to handle their amplifier output. Those who use Class A valve amplifiers may want the full range rock sound of a single Vintage 30 packed into a small cabinet with enough depth to produce rich bass tones as well as bright lead work. For those who are heavy shredders the 4 x 12 may need a refit with something that will handle a lot of power.
Good machine heads don't cost the earth to give you better tuning control.
