“Rob was absolutely brilliant, very knowledgeable and friendly. Sorted the jack input on my guitar out and also diagnosed some further wiring problems with my neck pickup and sorted them.

Kept me in the loop and made me feel completely at ease. My guitar sounds and plays better than it ever did!!”

“I met Rob the day after finding him on Google. He has set up both of my guitars that now play amazing. Also Rob is a lovely guy and so easy to talk to.

I would absolutely recommend him to anyone needing a guitar set up! One very happy customer 😀”

“Rob replaced the nut on my Fender Tele and sorted out the intonation. Excellent service from start to finish, clearly knows guitars inside-out.

Great job at a reasonable price. Will look forward to using his services again in the future — he's a nice guy too, which is always a bonus!”

“Rob did a great job setting up my new Kentucky Mandolin. Only minor adjustments were needed but it is now easier on the fingers.

He is obviously dedicated to his work and it was a pleasure to chat concerning string instruments.”
