Let me set up your guitar to play the best it possibly can!
An electric guitar is a precision instrument. To get the best from your guitar and from yourself as a player it is important that your guitar is set up to suit your playing style and your preferences. But whether or not you require a low action or not (and most players do) it is essential that your frets are level and smooth and your guitar is maintained to the highest possible standard.
Who I am
My name is Steve Robinson and I have been building and repairing
electric guitars for over 20 years. I offer my service to musicians of Northwest England and beyond at very reasonable prices. For details of the
services I offer, please use the menu to the left. If you'd like to call me
to discuss any work, please do so.
What I do
I provide a repair and maintenance service to guitarists. My setups are second to none and I have received some wonderful testimonials. Although many customers find me through this site, a large proportion of my work comes from repeat business and word-of-mouth recomendations.
A non-exhaustive list of my services is:
- Setups
- General repair and maintenance
- Fret-dressing and refrets
- Replacement nuts
- Pickup and hardware upgrades
- Guitar refinish
- All electrical repairs and customisations
- Broken headstock repairs
- Variax Transplants
Although I am Manchester Guitar Tech, I have customers from several European countries and have given advice to guitarists around the world.
How to contact me
I work from my home workshop in Sale.
For contact details please visit my contact page.
"Steve is the only Guitar Tech that I personally use and endorse, he has worked on most of my current guitars and I trust him implicitly, whether it be a simple setup (no setup is simple in my case) or a more serious/challenging repair/custom job, Steve is extremely capable and has always done a sterling job. If you take my advice you won't trust your guitar to just anybody, I certainly don't."

My guarantee to you
I endeavour to work to your timescales. In most cases I will provide a very fast turnaround on minor repairs. I will never undertake unnecessary work and will advise owners honestly. Owners are always consulted fully before any work not previously agreed is undertaken. I will guarantee that whilst your guitar is with me it will be treated with care and respect. All guitars are cleaned and polished before being handed back to their owners.
