Dear Shaun, my baby has never sounded or played so sweet. I strongly recommend Shaun's handy work when it comes to sorting out an action to suit your playing, as he is an experienced and well rounded player himself, you can be assured he'll hook you up to your preference, I've played with Shaun on a number of occasions, as a musician he is techinically gifted and can outplay a vast amount of old timers on the circuit, as a friend, he is true, trustworthy and caring, and as someone who's about to bring your axe back to life, he is a true resurrectionist of melody and soul !! I'm also on his waiting list to have my 12 string acoustic's action lowered significantly.. he has shown me the light !! Cheers brother xx
I tried to write this a week ago but haven’t managed to put my guitar down! I didn't think my guitar could play any better then when I bought it, after putting on a lovely bone nut which I have bored everyone I have met about, putting on higher gauge strings and straitening the neck it plays better then I could have ever imagined. I feel as though I must apologies to everyone in Shaun’s life because I’m likely to make him a very busy man setting up any guitar I can get my hands on.

'I gave Shaun my guitar with a lot of adjustments to be made such as fixing the Floyd Rose and straightening the neck as well as dressing the frets and lowering the action. Once I got it back, it played like a dream as the action was tight and low and the frets were spotless so the guitar played a whole lot smoother and quicker, also the Floyd Rose is fitted properly and sounds awesome. My guitar feels like a new guitar now and plays brilliantly, thanks a lot for sorting it and I will definitely use you again In the future.'
Shaun has setup both my stratocaster and baritone jaguar. Both came back setup beautifully and shauns search for the best strings for the baritone ended up with perfect results.

I've known Shaun for a number of years and have had him as a guitar tutor for a duration of that time. He has also repaired and maintained a number of guitars for me. His work, dedication and enthusiasm has always been extremely satisfactory.

"I brought my guitar in for a full service and couldn't be happier with the results. The guitar came back looking new and playing great, the fret work and set up was just what I wanted. A trusted and competitively priced technician that kept me informed at every stage of the process. Fantastic attention to detail and customer service!"
My bass has never played so well in all the years I've owned it. Much appreciated Shaun, keep up the good work.

"Being in a regular gigging band it is important to have my guitars in perfect working order. I have used local guitar shops in Plymouth and have never been satisfied until I gave my guitars to Shaun. He is quick, efficient and reliable. My guitars come back like new and his workmanship is second to none ! Plus he is an absolute geezar !
Great work, the action and fret buzz were all sorted out as requested, all in good time too.
Fantastic work on balancing the Tremolo will definitely be looking for you next time i have any guitar trouble,
With such competitive prices, I will be using Shaun Smiths Guitar repairs in the future.

I have known Shaun Smith now for over ten years, I have performed in bands with him, utilised his services/skills in fixing guitars and improved and developed my own guitar playing and techniques from his knowledge. Anybody looking to learn guitar or improve there technique from a begginer to advanced will not be disappointed as he has a vast knowledge and understanding of not only how to play but setup, fix and maintain all types of guitar. Just one of the many examples I can give is once he setup and fixed my favourite Epiphone Les Paul doing so exactly how I wanted and it came back to me better than new. You will not be let down using Shaun to learn or maintain your guitar and the passion for his love of guitars comes across in his teaching/playing and maintaining. Trust in me when I say there is no one around better for all your guitar needs.
