“Rob just gave my Fender Jazz bass a full heart transplant. New pickups, electrics, bridge, strings and a set up to my specifications. He did a cracking job and the old girl is sounding amazing and playing brilliantly! I wouldn’t hesitate to use his services again and I would recommend to anyone. You will not be disappointed.”

“I can’t recommend Buckthorn Guitars enough. Rob repaired my damaged Martin 00028 and gave her a full pro service and she came back as good as new! I was a little nervous about the whole procedure but Rob kept me informed at every stage - even sending photos - which calmed the nerves. Rob offers a quick reasonably priced service of the upmost quality and I would definitely use him again.”

“I can't thank Rob enough, 24hr turn around and perfectly set up, Rob was correcting a shocking setup from someone else and stepped up to help. Prices are excellent but the experience is what it's all about, nice guy to talk to, extensive knowledge of the industry.it was a 1 HR drive to get to Robs but worth it, I will take all my guitars to him in the future without hesitation, thanks Rob all the best for the future.”
