South Manchester Setups - Recommendations

[colleya]

TL:DR - (South) Manchester BCers - who does your setups?

 

Not sure if this goes here or in repairs & technical?

 

My regular setup bloke has called it a day. Try as I might, my amateur bodging aided by YouTube can't get close.

 

Can the BC hive mind recommend me someone?

 

Cheers!

Time to get on with learning how to do it yourself?

A nice guy - I bought my Les Paul from him.

He is based in Radcliffe now.  Very close to me and has done some great set ups on my Ric and Jazz

That’s what I meant…went too far down the road, no wonder I couldn’t find him 🤣

A little bit out the way, but Rich Stubbs over in Nantwich is superb!

Said hello for you.

 

Dropped it off yesterday, just picked it up and it's playing beautifully. 25 hour turnaround!

No, Steve Robinson (Manchester Guitar Tech). He was only half a mile from home too.

 

I think he packed in quite a while back, but I haven't had anything in need of a setup for a bit so didn't notice until recently.

I’m after someone to change a switch jack on my P and maybe look at the frets. Do you have contact details?

When Jim was still in North Yorkshire he gave my old Thumb NT a full set up, frets dress, new nut, the works, it was absolutely outstanding when I collected it.
