Heywood Guitar Doctor PHONE
or TEXT 07894 077965 Electric, acoustic and bass guitar setup, electrical fault finding, repairs, pickup swaps and restoration is what I do. Thank you.

I am a retired engineer who has also played guitar in a variety of bands over the years and understand the needs of players based on my own experience. 'Heywood Guitar Doctor' is my retirement project and as such is not a shop front type business, I work from a home based workshop so flexible with respect to drop-offs and collections, which operates by appointment only.
