“Chris has done fantastic work on my guitars. From setups to repairs I am always impressed by his level of detail and finish. I recently gave him my ES175 for some fretwork and finish repair after I’d scratched it up with a jagged broken jacket zip. He also repaired a major ding in my Fender Tele thinline. Both jobs were beautifully finished and included setup tweaks that Chris diagnosed. I’ve been going to Chris for quite a few years and always look forward to visiting him when I notice a guitar in need of improvement.”

“I had an excellent experience with Chris thanks to his vast knowledge when it comes to musical instruments, he made a fantastic restoration work with a 1987 Aria Pro II SB-ELT model (very similar to the SB-900 model with cat eye inlays instead of dot inlays) that was extremely beaten up, now restoring a vintage 1977 American BC Rich Eagle to her former glory. Please note Chris is not an avid WhatsApp user and his answers tend to be very short and concise, you gotta be patient if you want him to display his magic (if you are in a hurry look for someone else), it is worth the wait. If you wanna have a good conversation with him it is better to speak in person while you explain what kind of job you want to be done with your guitar or bass in his workshop.”

“Have used Chris for years. He’s set up all my electrics, re-finished a tele for me, fixed loose binding on my D28 and carried out various fret dresses and other bits and pieces. The standard of his work is exceptional and I’ll be a customer for life. Could not recommend him higher!”
