Hofner Verythin Fretboard

The inlays on the Hofner had shrunk over its 50 year life so I had to drop fill with pigmented superglue. Once filled I will resurface and level the inlays- check back in a few days for the results.

Setup's are now £55

I am sorry to have to do this but I have to raise the price for my Guitar setup's to £55. I have been charging £45 for the past two and a half years. With the VAT increase and everything else costing more these days I just have to do it.

I strongly believe my setups are the most comprehensive available in the UK - researching other Luthier's services I see that a fret dress (i.e. Stoning ~ if required) is never included in the price of the setup, neither is servicing the electronics, shaping and filing existing nuts, etc. A comparable setup from other Luthiers is in excess of £70 (try parking in Cardiff for free..)

Again, sorry to have to raise my prices - I hope you understand. Also don't forget its free to park at my workshop!

Neck Jig

Here is a picture of my neck Jig - it simulates string tension on a neck when you are working on the frets. It is absolutely essential to setting up a guitar properly - The Neck Jig's dial indicators, peg head tensioner and peg head jack let me precisely simulate string tension, including the effect of the truss rod adjustment inside the neck. When I mill the frets, it is as if the strings are still on the guitar! To everyone who has pre-ordered, expect an email shortly. Thanks
