Just in case you were wondering... the "neon" image of a guitar (above/left) was made from a picture of the '62 Strat shown being re-fretted in the repairs gallery!

I can actually make your guitar glow the same way in real life.. but it'll cost a whole lot more!

Did you know....

I don't often advertise this fact but for years now, as most of my customers will already know, when you bring your guitar in for a "Class A" set-up or a "re-fret" at SGL Guitars, you are not just getting fantastic quality work, you are also securing yourself SIX MONTHS of FREE after sales service and adjustments to take account of changes in playing environments and string choices and variations in climate.

So you need not worry about digging deep into your pocket every time you visit me.. How's that for peace of mind!

Tip of the month:

Re-Stringing?:

When re-stringing your instrument, DON'T push the end of the string through the hole in the machinehead more than once thinking it will give more stable tuning... it won't. Three tight winds around the capstan will be all you need... if the tuning is STILL unstable, the problem is elswhere. See the TECHNICAL PAGE for more details.

Get your Band Photographed:

Another service that SGL Guitars is proud to promote is professional photo shoots for promo posters, flyers and album covers.
A gallery of example photo shoots is being assmbled and will be posted to the website by end of March, so watch this space!

Duffy the Cat.. 1990 - 2007

Sad news. Duffy who became very well known to my regular customers and their children who have become familiar and good friends with our 'Large' friendly cat, sadly passed away on August 1st at the age of 17. She's been through the wars recent years but made a miraculous recovery.

She had quite a fan club over the last 3 years and will be sadly missed by all who knew her.

Your younger (and older!) children might enjoy the story of Duffy the Cat! click for more...
