Changing pickups..

OntheStrings · 03-04-2012 12:54PM #1

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone can recommend a place where I can get the pickups on my guitar changed? I've been looking around and can't seem to find many places that do it

Thanks for any suggestions!!:)

Try this guy
http://www.theguitarworkshop.ie/

I got a full service here before, excellent, but not replacing frets, he might do them.

What kind of guitar is it and do you have pickups for change ?

I found The Guitar Workshop to be a little bit pricey but by no means useless!

I'm going to try archtop.ie in a couple of weeks.

Hi,

The one that I really reccomend is:

http://www.hazeguitars.com/

Gerry is a great guy and will do a top job.

Also you can try

http://www.someneckguitars.com/

or Guitar Fix on Exchequer St.

what do you need done?

A good friend of mine usually does all that stuff for me, user name Zafo. He's worked on a few of my guitars, does a great job at a reasonable price!
PM me if you want his number, or check him out on facebook, Moose Electronics.
Hope I'm not breaking any spamming rules Fey, I like to send work his way. Delete if necessary!

yes

1/ charged 100 euro for a strat setup, where i specially asked to treat a choking issue on 9th fret b srting bend ( raised fret i reckon ) .

setup was acceptable but the issue was not solved as i later found out

2/ was a day late on giving guitar back

avoid

J moriarty was expensive when i brought it to him a few years later
, but did a fantastic job
planed the fretboard , put a bone nut in as i asked, refretted the guitar with
great low frets , and set it up

plays like a dream now.

Is he the guy out there who operates out the back of his garage?
I had guitar work done on two guitars by a guy who operated on south circular road and didn't fix any of the issues he charged me for and took 2 months to get my guitars back of him when it was only ment to take a few days.

yep

thats the dude .

goblin59 · 07-05-2012 03:46PM

yeah wasn't impressed by him tbh.

If im getting anything done on my guitars I either do it myself, or if I dont have the parts i just leave it with kevin from guitar fix, who does a good job on the guitars i leave him.

learn to do it yourself.

seriously, swapping pups is SOOOOOOO easy!!!

if you can wire a plug you can swap pups.

buy 'em used off ebay, try 'em, and if they aren't for you then sell them on.
