Set-Up, Servicing & Upgrades
My name is Andy. I am a guitar tech based in Crystal Palace in South East London.
I have been playing and setting up guitars for over 30 years. I specialise in Fender® Telecasters, but I love all kinds of guitar, both acoustic and electric.
I work with every kind of player from all styles of music, but especially beginners and enthusiasts. I know that the guitar world can sometimes be intimidating and I like to keep things simple and easy to understand.
Every instrument, no matter how little or much it costs, will benefit from a good set-up to get it playing and sounding its best.
Bring in your guitar for a completely free appraisal. I can check it over and give you an idea of what kind of work is necessary, what optional upgrades it might benefit from, and a quote for the project.
Every guitar is important to its owner and I will work with you to make sure your instrument plays to its full potential.

*Please note: These prices does not include strings. You are welcome to bring your own, or I can supply several brands of strings, including Martin, d'Addario, Ernie Ball, Fender and Stringjoy.
Not everyone will know what all these options are, so as a very brief guide, here are some of the things we can look at:
For upgrading electric guitars, we can also look at the pickups, scratchplate, bridge, nut, Bigsby vibrato and anything else you'd like to consider.
Please bear in mind that I am a guitar tech. For more extensive work, such as refretting, crowning & levelling, damage such as broken necks or headstocks or repairs to the body or the finish, I can refer you to several excellent luthiers and guitar workshops around London. Please contact me for more information.

About Me
My name is Andy. I am a blues musician and guitar tech and I live in Crystal Palace in South East London. I have been here about 10 years and I love it.
I have been playing and setting up guitars for over 30 years. My main passion is Fender® Telecasters and I have a few great Teles. There is something magical about the simplicity of some strings stretched across a block of wood and a few basic controls, a design that is essentially unchanged since the 1940s. Add to that the fact that the humble Telecaster has found its way into almost every kind of music, starting with Country, but ultimately changing the sound of bluegrass, blues, rock‘n'roll, folk, funk, and even punk and heavy metal.
Teles are also ideal for modifying and upgrading that that's where my love for the instrument really blossomed. Some time in the late '90s, I got out a screwdriver and added a new scratchplate to my favourite guitar. I've been adding bits to my guitars (and other people's) ever since.
Get in touch any time. As you can see, my assistant Steve and I are ready to help you with your project.
