James is the real deal and will do a great job. I love his work on acoustic guitars.


Brendan Mason at Real Guitars is great also:

I know you guys at pickstone arn't using the forum to attract repair work etc, so i will raise the question....... would you put your hand up to do repairs on the soundcraft spirit console for Mark? Is it your cup of tea so to speak?

Plus Barny's a top bloke!

Hey Barney ... Still interested in comparing my DIY 1073 to your real ones sometime also. Setting up my new studio and having a little one has kinda taken priority lately.

Thanks Dave.

Pickstone currently is not really taking repairs that have a service agent. ie we're mainly doing tube guitar/studio stuff and more high end gear. This is to try and limit the amount of prosumer gear and work on our own products. Life's to short to work on stuff we can't be proud of! Watch this space.

re 1073's drop by on your way through or drop me a line.
