Well it's my birthday coming up, my parents are springing for something i want so i think i'm going to send my beloved 7 string for a day at the beauty spa/ plastic surgeon.

I'm looking for someone to do the following:

Full tune up:
Truss rod
innotation
action
set the trem up perfectly
rewire the pickups

Then depending on how much i have left over i'm thinking about a nice paint job, she's a bit beaten up and has a few scratches.

Can anyone recommend someone in the area?

Cheers, Mark.

I went to Peter Stephens in Lyttelton.
He set up my Ibanez, did a bloody good job.

Alan Farrow set up my strat pretty well... replaced frets etc, nice guy. He's in Beckenham, look him up in the yellow pages

Well, this was tehhaxor's last post before disappearing, so I approach this thread with a little trepidation...

...buuuut anything anyone can add to this thread?

Looking on behalf of a work colleague and with a view to gratifying my own guitar related needs...

Ash, thinking of moving south at all?

tehhaxor, where are you? What did they do to you???

I have heard that Peter Stephens is very good.

If I'm going south, I (a) won't be going to Churchur, and/or (b) won't be thinking about guitars

Guys, it's Peter Stephen, not Stephens and not Steven.

Tel 03 328 8033 http://www.stephenstrings.co.nz/, He's a first class artist when it comes to building a new instrument!
Ch Ch has a few good luthiers, Davy Stewart, http://www.stuart.co.nz/ and Rob Bentley bentleyace@hotmail.com also spring to mind.

If you can track down a guy called Graham Wardrop he's worth a go as well. Great luthier as well as one of the wierdest (musically) guitarists I've heard in my life. Does his best to make very unguitar noises with his instrument.
