Setup Services

I offer high-quality repair and setup services focused on precision, playability, and long-term reliability. A good setup is essential to the comfort and performance of any instrument. I carry out accurate adjustments of the truss rod, action, and overall geometry, using professional-grade tools and an experienced, methodical approach. Each setup is tailored to the instrument and the player.

I also craft custom bone nuts and saddles, shaped and fitted by hand to optimize string balance, sustain, and tone. Careful attention is given to every contact point, ensuring the instrument responds naturally and plays comfortably across the entire fingerboard.

In addition to acoustic work, I regularly service electric guitars, including complete electronic overhauls, component replacement, and custom wiring. Whether it’s restoring reliability, improving tone, or adapting an instrument to specific needs, all work is done cleanly and thoughtfully.

Repair Services

I provide structural repair work focused on durability, precision, and long-term stability. This includes headstock fractures, top cracks, internal reinforcements, and other structural issues that can affect both sound and reliability. Each repair is carefully assessed and carried out using appropriate techniques and materials to restore strength while maintaining the instrument’s tonal balance and original character. The goal is a clean, discreet repair that allows the instrument to perform reliably for years to come.

Restoration Services

I carry out restoration work on older and vintage instruments with great care and respect for their original construction. Each intervention is approached with the aim of preserving the instrument’s identity, using period-appropriate materials, glues, and techniques whenever possible.

My focus is on maintaining structural integrity and originality while ensuring the instrument remains playable and stable. Every restoration is done with restraint and attention to detail, allowing the instrument to continue its life without compromising its history.
