How much?
All prices shown below are ‘from’ as every job is assessed on an individual basis. I give free, no obligation quotes for most work. Some cases may have to be given as estimates but wherever possible I will give a firm, written, quote.
Prices do not include strings or parts (but refret price does include fret wire cost).
You can provide me with the strings of your choice or I can supply a range of good quality strings such as D’Addario, Ernie Ball etc at retail price.
For any other work such as acoustic pickup installs – please contact me to discuss.

Setup (includes fret levelling and restringing)
All guitars must have their frets levelled - particularly necessary if I haven't worked on them before. Prices are 'from' and do not include strings cost. And please note - if loose frets are found they must be secured before levelling - the typical cost for this is around £20, depending on fretboard type and finish.
