Any recommendations for a headstock repair in Surrey?

[TrevorR]

So my wife's acoustic guitar looked like this when I pulled it from the case the other day...



Scarf joint is slowly giving up and the string tension was slowly pulling the joint apart. Should be eminently fixable. Anyone know a good repair in the Surrey area they would recommend. I don't know if Guitar Guitar or Andertons they regularly use? I suppose could take it to Paul at Wal but it would be a pain getting it to him and collecting it during the week. Anyone else to check out?

Charlie Chandler at Hampton Wick or Chandler's at Kew.

Another thumbs up for either of the Chandlers.

Or Feline Guitars in Croydon.

Yes, Charlie's was the other place I had in mind, not too far from me.

Another one for chandlers in Hampton wick , great place ... Shame about all the tempting vintage gear .. Hanging from the ceiling .. But worrysome for a giant like myself.

Not owned by the same people apparently.

Used to be, but Doug and Charlie are no longer connected to the Kew shop.

I believe they still have an excellent repair dept.

Initially the result of a divorce, I understand... Mrs got the shop in Kew and Mr went off to set up his own new shop and repair busniess.

Hadn't realised before that the head of the Kew repair workshop was the legendary Brinsley Schwarz though.

It was Mrs Doug that got the shop.
