L ooking for a really good Guitar Technician for servicing/set up

21outs

I have a rare 1974 Strat, Bullet head, hard tail that is long due a service.
The man who used to work on it is retired and I need a reliable pro to do a good job on it.

I've had bad experiences with some of my other instruments so I don't want just any old chancer messing with it. I'm looking to see if anybody can (highly) recommend somebody for the job.

I am prepared to travel almost anywhere in Ireland.

Hope to hear from ye guitar heads.

Thanks for your time

:-)

Went down same road with getting below par work done on my tele deluxe. John did an excellent setup and cap mods and really gave it it's mojo back. Also good communication which isn't always the case when unforseen issues arise!

Excellent customs in his workshop so an allrounder in terms of his luthier craft
