Twincam Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Im still available to help anyone out in the North East. Im based in the south durham area. I've also did some neck/fret work via post if anyone can't get help in there area. Im certainly not trying to take anything away from others, just I know sometimes there may not be anyone to hand. I do setup work from the basic things to the more advanced. All aspects of fret work including refretting, board leveling if needed etc, some minor electrical work and i can also do minor cosmetic work/damage repair. Im updating as I've had a couple of enquiries on here of late. And it's been mentioned my last post on this thread is a little old.
