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 or bass and from yourself as a player it is important that your instrument 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 nut and other upgrades
- Pickup upgrades, electrical repairs and customisations
- Broken headstock repairs
Although I am Manchester Guitar Tech, I have customers from several European countries and have worked for and given advice to guitarists around the world.

Hi steve,
I called you sometime ago re wiring up my emg dg20 pickups to a fender mid boost kit, dunno if you remember?
Anyhow, I’ve got the cash now for it! Yippee!
Thing is, the stray body I have in mind for it doesn’t have the required space to fit the circuit board/ battery etc in it. I thought I may get away with it as I’ve got another strat in which I managed to cram it all in the pit cavity – I’m dead sure that this body ( an mjt relic from the states ) won’t have it.
With that in mind, I wondered can you do the appropriate routing? As in like the routing on the fender USA Clapton signature bodies?
Thanks for your time & attention ,
Kind regards,
Sean
Ps – I also have a neck I’d like to get ‘reliced’ – it’s a fender 60′s classic player neck from a strat , can you do that?
Thanks
