Thank you for visiting our site. I’m based in Nottingham and provide a comprehensive guitar repair and set up service.
Easy to park in Chilwell, Beeston, I’m about 4 miles from Nottingham, and 10 minutes from exit 25 of the M1. Just take the A52 exit towards Nottingham and then I’m about 5 minutes from the Bramcote Baths roundabout (take the Bramcote Village exit ) on the A52, between Derby and Nottingham.
I serve most of the East Midlands, South Yorkshire, Staffordshire, Lincolnshire, Derbyshire and Leicestershire because of the good accessibility. We’re also on the 36 bus route and I’ve had a job from Lanzarote, but that’s a long story!! In the following pages we have tried to show you some of the ways in which the playability and sound of your guitar can be improved.
There are very few musicians who are ever completely and totally convinced that they are getting the best possible sound from their instrument. Often you just need a minor adjustment or change of pick-up, but are not confident enough to do it yourself.
After a guitar leaves the factory, however meticulously it has been set up, it is subject to changes. Temperature and humidity variations are usually to blame, not to mention the stresses and strains it is subject to in the various shipping and handling processes:- “Handle With Care”....mmm, like your holiday luggage ?? Of course, everyday usage causes changes to the guitar too. Just like a car, guitars need regular servicing to carry out adjustments and minor repairs to return it to peak performance. A shop may tune it and do an initial set up, but it is unlikely that they will have the time to ensure that it is tailored to your particular style of playing. A shop or factory certainly won’t have spent 2-3 hours on an expert fret dress! ( My speciality! )
I am finding more and more brand new guitars coming for “treatment”, so don’t assume that because it’s new, it’s right!! If you are disappointed with your new guitar, bring it along.
Last update 19/04/09 by Jean Asher - For a variety of reasons It’s been a long time between updates so I have added a third page of testimonials. A BIG thank you to Robins satisfied customers who have taken the trouble to Email their thanks and allowed us to use them on the Testimonials pages. Although many new customers are “word of mouth “ recommendations, for guitarists who are completely new to Robin, these testimonials are definitely a high factor ( you tell us so!!) in reassuring you that “ Doc Rob is the place to go!!
And Yes, he does do acoustics!!!! There are some testimonials to prove it!!! That’s for the customers who hesitantly ask “Do you do acoustics?” Just that there seem to be more electrics around that need treatment.
