A professional set up will really help your guitar play at its best. We will check your guitar's action, intonation, truss rod, hardware and any electronics, make any adjustments needed to suit your preferences, then give your guitar a professional clean and polish (including frets) so it looks and plays its best.

You'll get a detailed workshop note too, with all the key measurements before and after the work.

If your guitar could use a boost, call or email to book a set up.

from £35 - partial fret dress

from £80 - full fret dress

from £145 - full re-fret

from £25 per fret - partial re-fret

Damaged frets can cause buzzing, choked notes and problems with intonation. If this sounds familiar, call of email us for an estimate. We pride ourselves on the high quality of our fret work and only use high quality Jescars, Sintoms and Dunlop fret wire, diamond filing tools and 3M micro abrasives, to ensure the best possible finish.

We are also happy to fit any strings which you provide

POA depending on requirements

As well as refinishing and chip repairs, we often tackle extensive restorations, conservation work and refurbishments. We specialise in restoring old, play-worn guitars sympathetically, so that they are stable and playable but keep their 'lived in' character.

Wherever possible, we repair and retain all original parts and use hide glues so that our work is easily reversed.

We also carry out most general guitar repairs, including structural work such as crack repairs, neck and headstock repairs, neck resets and bracing repairs.

If you have a special guitar that needs some real love - whether its value is financial or sentimental - or need assistance with an issue that isn't listed, call or email us to discuss your needs.

from £35 - nut replacement (inc basic nut)

from £35 - saddle replacement (inc basic saddle)

from £45 - replacement electric bridge

These are key parts of your guitar - they support the strings so they can vibrate freely and transfer those vibrations to the rest of the guitar. They are also key for good action and intonation. We can supply and fit a range of quality parts, whether you are replacing a broken part or upgrading, including hand-cut bone nuts and custom intonated bone saddles.

POA depending on requirements

At Malone Guitars we handcraft a small number of fine quality acoustic and electric guitars every year. The majority are built to commission, but occasionally we have guitars available from stock - you can find them in our Shop and you can keep track of work-in-progress in our Blog.

If you would like to commission us to build a unique instrument for you, please get in touch - if you can imagine it, we can build it.
