Sphynx Guitar Tech : Just another WordPress site

I've been working as a guitar technician for nearly 30 years, providing maintenance, repairs and setups. In this time, I have worked on nearly thousands of fretted instruments.

I believe that the most important aspect of any instrument is its feel. If it doesn't feel good to play, then not only is it not fun, but it can also actively hurt your playing.

I love to make instruments feel the best that they can be.

Additional Info - Casing and delivery

Wherever possible, please bring your guitar in person (by appointment only). Leave all straps and accessories, other than the tremolo bar, at home. If this is not possible, make sure that any guitar needing work is extremely well packaged. Hiscox make great cases which will provide plenty of protection for your guitar.

If you cannot deliver your guitar in person, please use your favourite, most trusted delivery service, ensuring your guitar is secure and has adequate tracking and insurance. I will use the same service you use to return your guitar, and add the additional postage fees to the net price. Please note: I will not take responsibility for guitars damaged in the post. This is why I would prefer to have it delivered in person: to ensure the safety of your belongings.
