 Hi,

OK, one step forward two step backward...

It would seem churlish to complain about too much work...but at the moment I have too much work!

My regular friends and customers know that this happens from time to time, and that I usually close the shop for a week or two to catch up.

This time I'm going to play it a little differently. My shop will be open as usual for collection of completed repairs, and for you to browse the nice guitars I have for sale, but I won't be booking in any new work until the backlog of repairs I already have booked in is completed.

Sorry, but that's it.

For over 40 years I have been proud to work on your guitars, to keep you playing happily and in tune, but for the first time in all of those years I'm beginning to be stressed by the workload.

The last couple of years have been tough - some of you know the personal challenges that Lisa and I have been through due to her illness, surely everyone understands the disruption caused by the flood, and then there is Covid and the government's erratic reactions to that.

I plan to keep on doing this gig, keeping your guitars in tune, and fixing the broken ones, for some time yet. 

But I need to take a short "time-out"!
