The Workshop is located in Didsbury, South Manchester.

Whether you need a quick string change and once over before a last minute show, a pre-tour setup & deep clean, or a full re-fret/re-wire, I can help.

Strings aren’t included with a service, but I keep a small stock of the usual suspects handy if required. Alternatively, I’m more than happy to use a set you provide.

The listed services are far from exhaustive; I also offer custom pedal board builds, rack builds, and more… Feel free to get in touch for a chat to discuss your needs, and take a look at the videos below and the gallery for examples of some recent and past work.
