Full Restorations
Breathing New Life into Your Guitar
Over time, guitars can suffer from wear, damage, or neglect, leading to diminished playability and tone.
Whether it's a cherished vintage instrument or a well-used workhorse, our full restoration services aim to return your guitar to its former glory.
At Wickham Guitar Repairs, we combine traditional craftsmanship with modern techniques to meticulously restore both acoustic and electric guitars, ensuring they not only look pristine but also deliver exceptional sound and feel.
Is a Full Restoration Right for You?
A full restoration is the ideal solution for guitars that have seen better days — whether through age, damage, neglect, or years of heavy playing.
Vintage instruments often require comprehensive work to bring back their original voice and charm, while guitars that have suffered from cracks, warping, or structural failure can be stabilised and rebuilt with precision and care.
We also frequently restore guitars that have been stored away for years, gathering dust and moisture damage, or those with deep sentimental value that deserve to be brought back to life.
If your instrument shows significant wear, structural issues, or simply hasn’t been maintained over time, a full restoration offers the chance to return it to exceptional playability, tone, and beauty — without losing its soul.
Inside the Restoration Process
Each restoration project is unique, tailored to the specific needs of the instrument. Our comprehensive restoration process may include:
Structural Repairs: Addressing cracks, loose braces, and other integrity issues.
Neck Resets: Correcting neck angles to ensure proper action and intonation.
Refretting: Replacing worn frets to restore playability.
Finish Work: Refinishing the body to match original specifications or desired aesthetics.
Hardware Replacement: Updating or restoring tuners, bridges, and other components.
Electronics Overhaul: Repairing or replacing pickups, pots, and wiring as needed.
We approach each restoration with the goal of preserving the instrument's character while enhancing its functionality and longevity.
