Professional guitar repairs by post should not depend on how close you live to a workshop. RG Guitar Tech accepts guitars from across the UK, giving players nationwide access to careful setup and repair work without a long journey to Nottingham.
Whether your guitar needs a full setup, fret work, an electrical repair or a pickup change, the postal service offers a convenient way to get the work completed and your instrument returned securely.
Why use a guitar repair-by-post service?
- Access specialist work from anywhere in the UK. You are not limited to the nearest local shop.
- Save time and travel. There is no need for two long journeys to drop off and collect your instrument.
- Work tailored to you. Tell me your playing style, tuning, string gauge and preferred action so the guitar can be set up around how you actually play.
- Clear communication. Your guitar is assessed before work begins, and any additional repair is discussed with you first.
- Tracked and insured delivery. Suitable cover helps protect the instrument while it is travelling to and from the workshop.
Guitar work available by post
The service is suitable for many electric guitars, acoustic guitars and basses. Postal jobs can include:
- Full guitar and bass setups
- Neck relief, action and intonation adjustment
- Fret levelling, crowning and polishing
- Nut replacement and nut-slot correction
- Pickup changes and electrical repairs
- Tremolo and Floyd Rose setup work
- Deep cleaning and body polishing
If you are unsure whether your repair is suitable for posting, send details and photographs first and I will advise you honestly.
How the UK postal repair service works
- Contact RG Guitar Tech before sending. Include the make and model, the problem, your return postcode and photographs if possible.
- Receive packing guidance. I will explain how to protect the neck, headstock and body, and how to stop the instrument moving inside its case and outer box.
- Send using a tracked, insured service. The insurance value should cover the replacement cost of your instrument.
- Assessment and approval. I will inspect the guitar, confirm the work and agree the price with you before proceeding.
- Repair, testing and return. Once the work is complete, the guitar is checked, securely repacked and returned using tracked, insured delivery.
Safe packing matters
A hard case is recommended wherever possible. The headstock and neck should be supported, loose accessories removed, and empty spaces gently padded so nothing can move. The case should then sit inside a strong outer guitar box with suitable cushioning around it.
Please arrange the job with me before posting your instrument. I can check your proposed packing method and help reduce avoidable transit risk.
Professional guitar repairs by post across the UK
This service is designed for players who want careful, individual attention but cannot easily travel to Nottingham. Every instrument is treated as its own job, with the setup based on the player rather than a one-size-fits-all specification.
