Custom Modifications
Tailor Your Guitar to Your Unique Style
Every guitarist has a distinct playing style and tonal preference. At Wickham Guitar Repairs, we understand that a one-size-fits-all approach doesn't suit every musician. Our custom modification services are designed to adapt your guitar to your specific needs, whether you're seeking improved playability, enhanced tone, or a unique aesthetic.
From subtle tweaks to significant alterations, our experienced technicians work closely with you to bring your vision to life. We combine traditional craftsmanship with modern techniques to ensure your guitar not only looks and feels exceptional but also delivers the sound you're aiming for.
Why Players Choose to Modify Their Guitars
Custom modifications are a perfect fit for guitarists who want their instrument to do more than the factory ever intended. Whether you're a performer chasing a particular sound, a recording artist seeking tonal versatility, or an enthusiast with a vision in mind, tailored upgrades can bring your guitar in line with how you play.
Even beginners can benefit from modifications that improve comfort, adjust action, or simplify playability as their technique develops. If your current setup feels limiting — or you’ve ever thought, “I wish my guitar could just…” — then it’s probably time to explore what’s possible through professional modification. From subtle wiring changes to complete hardware and pickup overhauls, we help bring out the best in your instrument while making it truly your own.
What’s Involved in Custom Modifications
Our custom modification services encompass a wide range of enhancements, including:
Pickup Installation & Upgrades: Swap out stock pickups for ones that better suit your tonal preferences.
Electronics Overhaul: Modify wiring configurations, install new pots or switches, and optimise the electronic components for improved performance.
Hardware Replacement: Upgrade tuners, bridges, or saddles to enhance tuning stability and sustain.
Neck & Fretwork Adjustments: Alter neck profiles, refret with preferred fret sizes, or adjust action for improved playability.

Each modification is executed with precision and care, ensuring that the integrity of your instrument is maintained while achieving the desired enhancements.
