NZGuitars.com : Filling you with GAS since 2003

Does anybody have recommendations for a tech in Auckland who can help fix a grounding/shielding issue with my Gretsch Electromatic? I don't want to necessarily go to the 'best' luthier in town for something that might be an easy fix for someone who might charge less.

Thanks.

Mine did that too, and it was a very simple fix. There was a wire on the master volume pot in the wrong place. It seems to be a reasonably common issue. Did you fix it yourself or take it somewhere? I don't think I'm up to soldering. Is there anyone cheap and reliable in Auckland who could fix it?

Hi, I'm looking for advice on a wiring issue in my Gretsch Electromatic G5220. It has an annoying buzz when I'm not touching any metal parts.

Fair point!

There’s another on the first page of this sub forum too! #facepalm

Hi,

Does anyone know someone in Auckland who makes custom pickguards? I want one for my Gretsch Electomatic. I have all the specifications from someone on a forum, I just need someone cleverer than me to make it.

If there’s no one here, is there a recommended international service?

Hi all. Just got a new Fender Player Strat and was recommended Trevor Binford for a setup. He said it would cost $200. That seemed a bit pricey so I was wondering if anyone with experience could explain why he may be worthy of this cost or not. Does he go above and beyond other luthiers here? Or if ...
