This beautiful handmade indian sitar had unfortunately broken in shipping back to the uk.

It's a nasty break for sure, but we'll soon have it together with a seamless repair!

Finishing off the evening with a Classical Bridge Removal and Replacement. Often a tricky job, and certainly one that requires a degree of finesse and patience!

It's been an incredible opportunity to work with the legendary Dave Pybus! (Angstrom, Ex Cradle of Filth)

An absolute titan of the metal scene, this bass has had an incredible life touring the world - First owned by Jeff Walker (Carcass), then purchased and used by Dave!

It's been amazing getting to work on this piece of music history!

This absolute beauty is leaving the shop today!

This 1962 Hofner Bass (within the first 700 ever made!) came to me in a pretty sorry state, for a full restoration. Lots of sympathetic work later, and its been brought back to life!

All original hardware and electronics have been kept, and restored. The finish came to me with paint splatters across the body, neck and headstock, now removed and the original lacquer restored! Nut has been shimmed to keep the original parts functional, even the tuners have been disassembled, cleaned and rebuilt for this one! Every last part on this has been revived for the owner to continue using this as a players instrument.
