Service and Repairs

We offer a full repair service for all sorts of musical instruments, from guitars and bass through to full amplifier diagnostics and repair. Whatever your instruments needs we can offer you a comprehensive solution to fix it and have it playing well again.

Re-Stringing Service
At the basic level we offer a free instrument re-stringing service, for those players who either don't know how to do it or can't be bothered doing it themselves!  Simply bring your instrument along to our music shop in Ocean Terminal, buy the strings from us and we will fit them for you for free. Normally this takes around 30 minutes, but the store will let you know at the time how long they expect to need your guitar.  At weekends we may need slightly longer to turnaround the re-string.  Generally if time permits we will also clean up your fretboard while the strings are off and you'll receive it back feeling fresher and better than it came in!

Guitar / Bass Set-ups and Service
We undertake a range of set-ups on a variety of different instruments.  Our technicians all play guitar and have years of experience, so they are well positioned to set-up your instrument to get the very best from it.  On return your instrument will play as well as possible and feel great.  In most cases, it will be better than it ever has been!  We take pride in our highly affordable rates and quick turnaround times; if you feel you aren't getting as much out of your instrument as you could, let us maximize its potential for you.

Guitar / Bass Repairs
Sometimes things go wrong and your guitar needs a replacement part or needs some electrical work undertaken to have it sounding at its best again. We can repair or replace all electrical components in your guitar. If you want to add new pickups or change the wiring configurations to get a different sound then we can help with this as well.

Amplifier Service and Repairs
All electrical items can need attention sometimes and we are used to servicing everything from the smallest combo to the largest mixing consoles. From time to time Valve Amplifiers will require a service and new valves fitted and re-biased. We undertake this work, in-house.

Emergency Gig / Touring Bands Service
We are open later than ANY music store in Edinburgh so you can always call us in the event of an emergency. We also offer an out of hours service for professional musicians and bands for emergency supplies and some repairs. We aim to get your gig back on track as fast as possible. If you are touring and think you may need our out of hours service, then call the shop free on 0800 756 1312 when you are in town to discuss details.
