The Guitar Medicine Man

Brought my Takamine in to get set up, we’ve had it for years and it needed a tune up. Phil took it for a few days and it came back like new. Very reasonably priced, great service and also a nice bloke to deal with. Would recommend to anyone who wants to get their guitars looked at.

Wouldn't go anywhere else with my guitar.the man is great.very knowledgeable, super technician. And above all very courteous.

Had a great service from Phil this week. I royally buggered up my new Les Paul special by using nail
Polish remover to remove a sticker that had mysteriously attached Itself to the back. I ruined a significant section of the back finish of the guitar. It went white as it mixed with the nitro finish. Took it in to the shop. 4 days later sorted. Very closely almost as good as new. Plus he set it up properly, treated the fingerboard. Plays like a dream and looks all the better for it. Utterly, highly recommended!!

Gave him my guitar with a dodgy pickup and toggle switch and he fix it no problem and it's never sounded better. Nice and cheap as well plus he's a very nice dude. Would highly recommend

Phil was really friendly, did a great job setting up and dressing the frets on my guitars for a great price, and got the work done relatively quickly despite having loads of work booked. Would recommend.

I have a Godin Shifter 4 Bass that sounded okish but wasn't very happy playing it.

I met Phil and went through all the issues with my bass and left. A week later Phil called me to say it was ready for collection, having done a full service on the neck, pickups, electrics, intonation and so on. When Phil took it out of it's case I was absolutely blown away, the whole bass was totally cleaned, serviced and looking great. I got home, plugged it in and the whole thing came alive in a way that I have never heard or played before.

Phil is not only a great guy but someone who pays excellent attention to detail and delivered true craftsmanship at an excellent price. Communication was great along with the whole experience. I highly recommend Phil and will be returning for all future set ups.

I took my Yamaha acoustic guitar into the GMN a month ago, and got it back a few days ago (Phil had a lot of guitars to work on after lockdown, and I did say I wasn't in a rush as I had a spare), but wow, well worth the wait! I've almost had a brand new guitar returned!

Phil had to not only replace the strings, but also retighten the tuners plus finger board required a good clean and recondition. The physical appearance of my guitar has not only been transformed, but the sound is now clean, crisp and tuneful - even with me playing it!

I have no hesitation in recommending Phil, the Guitar Medicine Man as not only was all the above done professionally, but at a very competitive price to boot!

Phil has set up several of my guitars. Iv'e been really pleased with all of them and cannot recommend his work and eye for detail highly enough.
