Setups & fretwork
Relief, action, intonation, fret levelling, dressing, and the final polish that makes a guitar feel effortless.
Come as you are
The bench
is open.
A practical, unhurried workshop for the instruments you already love — and the ones you’re still dreaming up.
Inside the room
Good work starts with good listening.
Bring us the rattle, the buzz, the hard-to-name feeling that something is not quite right. We’ll inspect the whole instrument, explain what we find, and recommend only what it needs.
Our Melbourne bench is a small, focused place where guitars are handled carefully and returned ready for the next song.

Small adjustments.
Big difference.
Every service begins with an assessment. Clear scope, considered parts, and no surprises.
Electronics
Pickup swaps, shielding, rewires, switching layouts, and fault finding with an ear for the whole instrument.
Repairs
Cracks, bridges, jacks, hardware, and the careful structural work that earns an old favourite more years.
The parts shelf
Components with a reason to be there.
We keep a considered range of pickups, bridges, tuners, pots, nuts, and wiring supplies for players who want to improve what they have.
We can source something specific or help you choose between the options already on the bench. No mystery upgrades. No parts for parts’ sake.
