Stringz Guitar Studio is proud to have a fully tooled and stocked guitar repair bench, and we specialise in restrings, setups, fret dressing and levelling alterations, electrical work and aftermarket pickup installation for both acoustic and electric guitars.
Guitar repairs are not just about huge jobs. Keeping your guitar in pristine playing shape (no matter its age or its number of scratches) is half the battle, and a well setup instrument will serve as the foundation for a good learning experience, a good performance, a good recording, or whatever you set out to achieve with your guitar. At Stringz Guitar Studio we can offer this at a competitive rate, with fast turnaround time.

• Fit a complete new set of strings (we can supply any brand of your choice) to your guitar.
• Professionally polish the frets and give the fretboard a thorough clean
• Oil the fretboard
• Clean and polish the guitar
