"Took in a beat-up second-hand electric, which needed a decent amount of work. I didn't have high hopes as it hadn't been looked after well, but now it plays like a dream. Shaun did a fantastic job with the repairs and set-up. He communicates well and really knows his stuff. Will definitely be returning if I need any more work done in the future."
Alex D.
"Can’t recommend Shaun enough - he really knows his stuff, and did some phenomenal work on my Telecaster that has some VERY specific and challenging wiring. Full setup too and it plays better than ever. I’ll certainly be a repeat customer. Thanks, Shaun - you saved my new favourite Tele!"
Ben S.
"Shaun at Guitar Wellness did an amazing job restoring our inherited electric guitar that had been neglected, poorly cared for, and in need of repairs — it now sounds sweet to the soul, absolutely beautiful and my teenage boy loves it. The valuable advice he shared around caring for our guitar properly is something we will be grateful for. Cheers Shaun."
