Guitar Repairs & Services London
Welcome to Tim Marten Guitar Repairs based in Charing Cross Road, London. I carry out repair, servicing and custom work to leading brands of electric guitars including Fender, Gibson, Washburn, PRS, Ibanez, and Ltd, as well as acoustics such as Martin, Santa Cruz and Collings. I also work on related stringed instruments – banjos, mandolins, ukeleles, bouzoukis, basses and others.
With over 30 years experience working for clients such as Led Zeppelin, Jimmy Page, Roger Waters, Ray Davies and Steve Harley, I offer a very high standard of craftsmanship and a friendly professional service.
Typical jobs include setups, refrets, fitting and repairing pickups, rewiring and headstock repairs. I also custom build guitars from scratch and stock a range of accessories.

Custom builds
Many ‘custom shop’ guitars are actually just bolted together from existing components – and can be very expensive. But a genuine hand-made instrument gives the satisfaction of owning something truly unique, and may not cost as much as you think. Do get in touch to discuss designing your dream guitar.
