A strangely wonderful Strandberg in for a re-string and set-up. Sounds great, plays great and light as a feather. (Not literally!)
Perfect for anyone who struggles with the weight of electric guitars.

This is a Fender Strat brought in for a re-string/set-up and to have the electrics checked. The pots were slightly scratchy and the switch intermittent. If they are worn they need replacing, but in this case they just needed contact cleaner to resolve the issues.

A Yamaha soprano sax in for a general service. This sax was in fairly good condition, but needed a professional clean and lubrication. Keywork and key rods need to be clean and oiled for keys to move freely and smoothly. Some recorking and adjustments were required to eliminate leaks.

This is a Hudson electro-acoustic in to have the pickup and eq replaced. The customer wanted an eq with easier access to the battery, so I replaced it with this Fishman. These eqs are great for the price, but I needed to make the aperture larger. Very carefully!

A Takamine GS320 acoustic in to have the action lowered.
This is a lovely guitar but the action was too high to play comfortably. Lowering the action at the saddle and top nut has made a huge difference to the playability.

Lowering the 4th fret on a Tanglewood electro-acoustic. If the frets are worn and pitted through use, I would need to mask the whole fretboard to dress the frets. In this case the frets were in good condition but there was a slight string buzz on the 4th, so I could just file down this single fret.
