Here at Guitar Mania we have a wealth of experience with setting up guitars. Chris (the MD) was an accomplished guitar tech in the 1980's and when he started Guitar Mania in 1994 he found his protégé in Jon. Now the pupil has become the master and together Guitar Mania can provide one of the UK's leading and most respected guitar servicing workshops.
