| Hi there, thanks for visiting my site, I hope you find it interesting and just what you were looking for. Even if it isn't what you were looking for I still hope you find it interesting and amusing!
Let me introduce myself. I'm Steve Renton, I'm an electric guitar technician based in East Lothian, just east of Edinburgh. I carry out general servicing, repairs, modifications and
upgrades on all makes of electric guitars and basses.
I have been working on guitars for a number of years, my skills are highly
regarded and have been praised by top professional technicians in the field of
electric guitar repair and modification. It is thanks to their encouragement that I am making those skills available to you
for anything from the simplest task like setting up your guitar to your requirements to a full
custom rebuild to the specifications of your favourite artist's guitar. Do you want a Stratocaster like Ritchie Blackmore, a Les Paul like Jimmy Page or a Flying V just like Michael Schenker? These are all projects I have completed within the last few months. My artist's guitar rebuilds are not just cosmetic. I will endevour to use the same parts as in the original but in some cases it has to be the closest modern equivalent. I do the same modifications as were done to the original and the wiring set up will be the same. In short, they will be as close to the original as it is possible to get.
I also manufacture specialist parts, noise filters, impedance balancing systems and make instrument cables any length you require to order. I am well versed in anti-noise measures such as shielding and
the use of audio transformers having done battle with the extremely frustrating problem myself.
If you are in East Lothian and want to chat about my work come and see me, the coffee is free but you supply the chocolate biscuits!
