Client Reviews

“I sent my Strat in to Blackthorn for a new nut.
Rob fitted a new bone nut within the time frame I'd been given, at an affordable price.
More importantly, the guitar now plays and feels so much better than it ever has.
Using a heavy vibrato arm no longer gives me any tuning issues.
Highly recommended!”

Ian - Guitar Nut Repair

“Rob did a fantastic job on my main bass guitar. It was well overdue a setup and now it feels like a completely different guitar. It plays better than it did when I got it”

Lewis - Bass Guitar Setup

“I can’t recommend Buckthorn Guitars enough. Rob repaired my damaged Martin 00028 and gave her a full pro service and she came back as good as new!
I was a little nervous about the whole procedure but Rob kept me informed at every stage - even sending photos - which calmed the nerves.
Rob offers a quick reasonably priced service of the upmost quality and I would definitely use him again”
