🔧 Guitar Setups, Repairs & Services

(Note: We do not repair broken necks or spray guitars)

🎯 What is a Guitar Setup?

A proper guitar setup ensures your instrument is tailored to your playing style. It improves playability, tone, and overall performance—whether your guitar is brand new or well-played over the years.

Factory-built guitars often lack the detailed attention required for optimal play. A professional setup can fix factory oversights and wear from use, including mechanical and electronic issues.

🔌 Amplifier Servicing

Price - £70

During all repairs and/or service work the electronics engineer performs the following tasks:

Diagnostic Work:

• Troubleshoots issues by testing components with multimeters, oscilloscopes, and signal generators
• Traces signal paths to identify where problems occur (input, preamp, power amp, or output stages)
• Checks for common failures like blown fuses, failed capacitors, failed or 'out-of-tolerance' resistors or damaged valves, transistors and integrated circuits

Repair and Maintenance:

• Replaces faulty components such as resistors, capacitors, valves, transformers, or integrated circuits
• Re-solders cold or broken solder joints on circuit boards
• Cleans potentiometers (volume/tone controls) and switches (replacement if worn)
• Tests and adjusts bias settings for valves, transistors or integrated circuits
• Replaces aging electrolytic capacitors that can cause hum or reduced performance

Safety Checks:

• Ensures proper grounding to prevent electric shock
• Verifies that high-voltage sections are safely isolated
• Checks power supply voltages and current draw
• Inspects for overheating components or fire hazards

Final Testing:

• Tests the amp with various input signals and loads
• Verifies proper frequency response and gain
• Ensures no unwanted noise, hum, or distortion
• Confirms all controls and switches function correctly
• All amps are PAT tested before return to customer
