Hello, I live in a remote part of the UK, miles away from any music shops that offer guitar set ups and suchlike. Does anyone know of anyone offering guitar technician services by mail, prepared to receive guitars by mail and after they have been set up, sending them back to the owner?
Many thanks Mike Wallbridge

Mike, I would imagine that many would in fact be prepared to offer this service as you will be paying for the carriage and taking any risk that might entail. Try ringing/emailing some and see how they respond. Be prepared to explain your requirements in detail if at all possible, and if you do send your guitar to someone do ask that they check back with you once they have examined the guitar to establish what work they feel will actually be done and for what cost. Good luck. Keith

I have used Steve Robinson in Manchester several times for some really detailed work that I needed done. Not only is Steve a really nice guy and extremely accommodating, he is always very happy to have guitars sent to him and return them to you. He is also a fantastic guitar tech with really extensive knowledge. Give him a call if you want to discuss anything without committing yourself: manchesterguitartech.co.uk/
