Chris always provides top quality service. Every time I get a guitar back having dropped it in for some work, it comes back in the most playable condition. High quality work, honest craftsmen and takes real care over every detail. Highly recommend Chris for all your guitar needs

Used Chris for a few years for my guitars. Just had my old Strat refretted. Its a maple neck and notoriously difficult to do well. (I have had bodged jobs from other techs). The guitar looks and feels fantastic. He also blocked the bridge for me to replace the wad of paper I put there 25 years ago.Highest standard of work for everything he does. Well worth it!

He repaired my broken guitar.It's brilliant.I'm not native English speaker.But he listened closely and helped me so much.Thank you, Chris!

Took my '97 Fender P bass in for a full set up. Neck was bowed, intonation was a mess, pickups where too high, frets needed polished etc. Chris did a superb job setting it up, was professional, easy to get in touch with and quick to reply. Very happy with the work he's done on it. Any issues with your instrument, Chris is the man for the job.

Had a second-hand Squier CV JM that needed some real setting up where one part of the bridge was especially hammered right down to the body. Chris was quick to identify any other problems and deliver top quality passion. I don't exaggerate when I say it plays like a million bucks now, I highly recommend him for guitar set-ups, repairs, custom makes, you name it. Pictures shown below are the parts replaced. Staytrem bridge, fender chrome locking tuners, and a new tusk nut which had to be cut thicker for the slot.

Hadn't played my telecaster in ages as it was in need of some TLC. Chris did a fantastic job: gave it a fret dress, new compensated saddles, sorted the electrics and a set up - it's sounding and playing great. Fantastic value and service. Totally recommended.Cheers Chris!

A couple of years ago I ordered a D’Angelico acoustic guitar from the US. When the guitar arrived, I was disappointed to find the action was too high and the intonation was way out, rendering the guitar almost impossible to play.I left the guitar with Chris to fix and asked him to replace the Piezo pick-up with something that would give the guitar a more ‘jazzier’ characteristic sound.Chris completely transformed both the playability and sound of the guitar – the action was low and the intonation perfect. I couldn’t believe how good the DeArmond pickup looked and sounded – which was perfectly fitted. Chris takes great pride in his work, he’s a real craftsman, an excellent guitar luthier.More recently I bought a Gibson ES 275 archtop guitar. As soon as I took it out the box and started playing, I could tell there was something wrong with the guitar, but I couldn’t quite figure out what it was so I took the guitar to Chris.After a couple of seconds, he identified straight away that some of the frets were uneven and the neck needed adjusting.I collected the guitar on Friday and haven’t been able to put it down since – thanks Chris for doing such a great job, I really appreciate it!

Just had a fret dress and the action lowered on my Martin. Playing beautifully now, feels like when I got the guitar over 12 years ago. Chris is a master of guitar repairs. The 3rd guitar I've had in, always a pleasure. Thanks

Took my Martin d45 into Chris as it was just a bit dull sounding and not how a d45 should sound Chris advised fret dressing and a normal set up picked it up today and wow what a difference rings like a bell and now a pleasure to play like a well played in guitar really happy with the service and a nice chap highly recommend McIntyre Guitars for your guitar maintenance
