Restrings - From £15 + Strings
Restringing your guitar or bass can feel like a laborious task to a lot of players….but I love it.
Prices start from £15 plus cost of strings for a standard 6-string and includes giving your instrument and frets a spa-level clean and polish whilst I’m at it.
Modifications - £P.O.A
I can install pickups, create custom wiring and fit replacement parts to make your guitar an ever more excellent tool for expressing yo’self… Let me know what you fancy and what your budget is and we’ll make it happen.
Repairs - £P.O.A
From snapped headstocks to worn out nuts (ooyah) I can help. I’ll give you a fair idea of time and cost, and keep you updated throughout!
Setups - From £45 + Strings
We’ve all been there – You save and save (and save) then spend £100’s on a brand new guitar you have lusted after for months or even years. You finally get it in your hands and it just feels…’off’. Or, your faithful 6-stringed friend suddenly starts to buzz, fight you or just not sound like it did.
Guitars are almost always not ready to play as well as they should straight out the box and certainly not if they are your old ones that have been tucked away in a cupboard for years.
I’ll do what’s needed to change this.
Setups are just about the best thing you can do for your instrument outside of playing it regularly so get in touch and let me show you how I can make this more fun for you.
If you have a guitar or bass that you would like to have looked at, just book an appointment below.
We’ll accept the intrument in on your chosen day/time and let you know when the work is complete!

SHOP
Our small but mighty sales area provides essentials like strings, cables, picks ‘n’ sticks. We also occasionally have the odd bit of treasure available for sale – be it a guitar, pedal, amplifier or ‘whatever’…
Furthermore, you can find amazing and unique gifts made by MUSIQUE GIFTS.
You can be sure any and all things that we sell are an absolute steal at the asking price and will look/play/sound/feel as good as it can be 🙂

FEEDBACK
Here are some kind words from kind people that I’ve been able to help out.
-
Chuffed to bits with Cal Bowes Guitars. Contacted Cal yesterday on the off-chance he could restring my son’s guitar while we are in Livi. He collected at lunchtime today and dropped the restrung and serviced guitar off with us tonight. Also fixed the pickup, at a great price. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

December 3, 2022 - Cal is extremely knowledgeable and skilled. He came to my house to pick up 2 guitars. One acoustic with ridiculous high action that needed a lot of work to become playable and one electric with Floyd Rose that needed a good clean/polish and a restring. Cal went above and beyond and did some extra cosmetic fixes plus included a change of battery but never expected me to be charged over the initial quote. A few days later and after some great communication/updates Cal dropped off 2 instruments which felt way more expensive than what they initially were. I found it difficult to leave them aside. The acoustic guitar feels almost like an electric with a super low action. I can't but recommend Cal's work enough. If like me you have procrastinated or hesitated to contact him for one reason or another, just don't! I regret not having used his services before. Thanks for your awesome work on my guitars.

February 8, 2023 - Couldn't recommend Cal's services enough. He took my Ibanez in at short notice for a fret level, crown and full set up. I couldn't be happier with the work, the guitar plays like a dream now and I couldn't put it down for days after receiving my guitar back. 5 star work and service i highly recommend Cal if you need work on your guitar.

December 21, 2022 - Forgot how good it was to play my guitar until I had it serviced by Cal, back in my hands and it's like a whole new weapon. Cal went above and beyond to perform a quick fix on my classical as well, so I really can't offer any higher praise. Absolute gent.
