Guitar Repairs

Adjusting the machine heads on a classical guitar

Every guitar sold at Sheehans undergoes the same rigorous quality control and setup procedure, from the least expensive beginners' models through to the very highest quality instruments.  This includes setting the neck profile, nut height, saddle height and saddle profile, dressing / stoning the frets where necessary, checking the intonation and making sure any on-board electronics are working perfectly.

If a guitar can't be set up to our high standards, we won't sell it!

We also set-up and repair customers' instruments.  Common jobs include nut, saddle and machine head replacements, refretting, body damage, broken headstocks, rewiring and cosmetic repairs.

A comprehensive pickup fitting service is available on all stringed instruments including acoustic guitars, classical guitars, banjos, mandolins, violins, violas and cellos.

If you have an enquiry about guitar repairs or pickup fitting, please telephone 0800 043 1022 and ask for our guitar repairs department (more contact details).
