Could not recommend Richie enough! Was incredibly kind , professional and accommodating ! Thanks so much 🙏
To quote Vinnie Jones in Lock Stock,,,, "It's been emotional". I am a Luthier myself but can no longer due to disablility. This was strange paying some one to do a job I have the knowledge of doing. I brought a Charvel Model 4 which presented a few head aches as its such a unique instrument.Parts are not available as it is out of production. I felt like a back seat driver trying to insult this mans intelligence by trying to tell him how to do his job. I need not have worried as he is a very capable professioinal. The job did drag on for over 6 weeks but there was a few unforseens along the way. You always learn when things don't go right. I couldn't be happier with the results, I recomend Richy very highly to my students, collegues and for those out there checking feedback out. I hope Richy increased his knowledge and experience after repairing this. I'm comming back with my Jackson and future work. Shouldn't be as challenging 😎
answer but a few moments later this bloke appeared from over my shoulder saying “Hi looking for me I’m Richie?” And he put his hand on the top of my the gig bag. After we introduced ourselves, it appeared that he had no idea about my appointment, but that didn’t matter much. We got on from the start, really easy going. After we got over the appointment mix up, we wondered about access, after all I had been through to get there in the first place I decided not to climb the fire escape to his lair and handed the guitar over .I was explaining what needed to be done but, as I was doing that, Richy flicked my home made Bone nut loose. Embarrassing! He said don’t worry, I will fix it. Exactly a week later I got a message saying it was done. So arranged a visit for the next day, This time, I struggled up the fire escape. I was more curious about his workshop than about my guitar. I had to call from the balcony as there is no doorbell or intercom and indeed no signage. But he answered and appeared in a short while. A crowded little workshop, obviously busy, and lots of guitars lying waiting for repair and collection. A nice sofa. He handed me my strat and pulled up a very impressive pedal board, not that I needed it. I explained to him I hadn’t played for a while due to arthritis, etc, and I just wanted to get back into it. The guitar was setup perfectly, and now, a few weeks later, it has even kept its tuning, remarkable for a strat. It feels lovely and I am able to play again. We had a bit of difficulty with payment methods mostly due to my banking app not working, but we sorted that out. Richy helped me out of the building and back to my buggy. And made sure I was safe to go. All together. A great experience. So, Richy is a really nice bloke who knows what he’s doing. Great value and genuine person. Venue is not the easiest to find, and he actually told me that there is a vibrant artist, music community there including recording studios, etc. However, there is no way you would know this from the outside, there are no signs door entries etc but maybe this is deliberate or the not allowed by landlords - I have no Idea, But that could be better, as could access, though Richy is willing to help. If you liase by whatsapp, Richy is Brill! On the whole, he is well recommended.
Great service, great price. Richy fixed up a very precious guitar to me to a standard much higher than my expectations.
Brought my acoustic guitar back to life and it's actually playable now. When I picked it up, visually I could tell that it was much better than before. 10/10 and wouldn't bring a guitar elsewhere except for here
Richy runs a very efficient friendly guitar repair and set up workshop. He kept me informed every step of the way.
Great service, lovely guy! Thanks for sorting my bass out, it sounds great!
Had a very good experience at Richy's 👍 He sorted out my 7 string sterling guitar and it now plays perfectly. Had a full set up and a new nut cut from scratch after I made a hash of the old one and it's made the world of difference. Now I can go back to not be able to play dream theater songs! Highly recommended. Richy was also super helpful and knowledgeable and a jolly nice fellow too 👊
Repaired my headstock break at for a very reasonable price
