Members percyexpat Posted December 15, 2006 Members Share Posted December 15, 2006 I'm looking for a luthier to do a setup job on my guitar and bass and maybe some light repair too. I live in Manchester in England, anyone have any experience with any luthiers from this area? Thanks,Philip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No! Horrible, bad music shop. Incapable of setting up, or small electrical maintenance. Horrible experience. I asked for a vol / vol / tone setup on my jazz bass to be wired vol / blend / tone, and instead I got vol / vol / reverse vol. Then the moron told me that that was what a blend pot sounded like. Wanker. Anyhoo: http://www.manchesterguitartech.co.uk/ muuuuch better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members penelope twee Posted December 1, 2012 Members Share Posted December 1, 2012 Old thread but who would current formers recommend in the Manchester area?

The main benefit for me would be that it's within walking distance of my office! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ChuckNorris1982 Posted December 1, 2012 Members Share Posted December 1, 2012 It's easiest to get the 86 bus. Depends which direction you're coming from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members penelope twee Posted December 1, 2012 Members Share Posted December 1, 2012 Having lived in Chorlton for awhile I generally try to avoid the 85/86 buses these days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChuckNorris1982 Posted December 1, 2012 Members Share Posted December 1, 2012 I hate that bus route too, it's always full of wannabe gangster dickheads. But it is the closest public transport link to his house. Get off the 86 outside the Hilary Step pub on Upper Chorlton Road and it's a couple of mins walk from there.
