Bassmonkey Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Anyone know a skilled bodywork repairer in the North (I am in Leeds) who might be able to fix a couple of horrible dings in my otherwise pristine Rickenbacker 4003? I thought I was being cool, bought a strap that had a metal ring joining it which weighed a ton. The freakin thing then took 2 chunks out of the edge of the body. They are only in the varnish and binding but looks a bugger so gotta get em fixed. PS. Anyone wanna buy a strap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[url="http://www.gedgreen.co.uk/"]Ged Green[/url] and [url="http://www.manchesterguitartech.co.uk/"]Steve Robinson[/url]. Have a look at both of their sites and you'll see some nice repair work on there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has done some excellent work for me over the years. In fact I won't trust anyone else if I need any work doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warwickhunt Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Dave Wilson at the Haltwhistle Custom Shop isn't exactly on the corner of your street but he isn't a million miles away and he did all the Overwater stuff and now works on Sobell Acoustics (£10k guitars). He did the refinish on my Orange Pumpkin Warwick and he does a lot of work for other guys on this forum who live in the North. PM me for his number if you want it.

Old Horse Murphy Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 The Guitar Doctor is Chorley has done some bits for me in the past (including a complete refin). Highly recommended and ex-Patrick Eggle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Born 2B Mild Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 I use a luther in Ripon for help with my guitars, and suggest you get his views.
