engineering focused
With over 50 years experiance, our small workshop and the small team have made a real big noise in the industry.
Redefining what guitar repairs mean. Taking a pure engineering approach and leaving nothing to chance, there's no magic here!
WM GUARANTEE
OUR PROMISE To YOU
We measure everything up before we do anything so you know where your guitar was when you brought it in to us.
This not only shows you what we do but gives us the opportunity to backtrack anything.
We take the time to discover customers preffered setup measures so we can use these as referance points in future work. By knowing what is happening with your guitar you will also be able to make more educated guitar purchases in future!
All of our work comes with a 3 month warranty.

1-2 Week Turnaround
A lot of guitar shops don't account for acclimation or settling. We have based our entire workflow around this one exact point.
Our storage is maintained at the perfect humidity and all guitars get a 48 hour acclimation period before repair. Once the repair is complete they go into a 24 hour settling period and the measures are checked and any ajustments made if needed.
Changing tensions on a guitar is what a setup is all about, less so about the height of the string and more about how you manipulate the tensions. This defines the way a guitar 'feels' rather than the way it plays. Changing the tensions dramatically can stress the wood and it's this stress that can cause the wood to 'settle' or change over a period of time. This is why we have put in place the proceedures that we follow.

WM Workstation's
Yeh they may not look that pretty but they do a cracking job and that's what counts! Every instrument that comes in get's treated as equals.
This workstation is a custom design by us to be able to fit any shape of size of instrument either flat or on their side.
All instruments can be worked on without being rested on the bench, avoiding a lot of finish problems.
DONE BY HAND
Customise & create
We don't just setup guitars but we have a passion for creation. We make custom parts and blend both old school and new school techniques to create something truely full of passion and replicable. Our handmade bone nut's & saddles can be made out of several types of different bone for differing timbre and they are all hand cut out of blanks. Each one is unique and made spesifically for that guitar.
This is only an example of what can be possible and we're constantly experimenting to be able to offer more unique services in our workshop.
