A bit about me…
I restring, setup, modify, sell and ‘fix’ guitars and I’d love to do any and all of these for you. I’ve been doing this for 8 years now and like to think I’ve gotten ‘no bad’ at it. A quick look at my reviews happily confirms that others share my view 🙂
Thanks for reading!

Fast, helpful and friendly. Very nice shop. Decent range for a new business too. Not too dear either. Support your local business! 
August 31, 2017Sean W. great staff just everything you want out of an independent store
cal knows his stuff and has all sorts of tricks when it comes to guitar maintenance
it feels like a wee clubhouse on return visits and the shop has a great atmosphere lacking the intimidation factor you get in some larger music franchise stores
May 11, 2020 - Julie N. Fantastic service, thanks again 👌
July 6, 2021Mark D. I’ve used Cal’s services tonnes of times and never once had a less than stellar experience. His work is second to none and being able to pick his brains is always a bonus! Just a genuinely great shop run by people who live and breathe music, I recommend to anyone and everyone 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
September 15, 2024 - Robbie W. I recently acquired an old Vintage bass and put it into Cal for a set up and nut replacement. Picked the instrument this afternoon and after giving it a quick slap and a tickle I can see, hear & feel a big difference, notably the action is nice and low and any fret buzz is all but gone.
Fast, friendly and professional.
Thanks buddy, �
August 10, 2018Donald B. I put my simon and patrick acoustic in for a set up with Cal. He's got the action and inotation spot on plays like a electric now very very happy customer I will definitely be back with more guitars to get set up.
December 8, 2017 - Christopher F. Amazing people who are very welcoming and are a good laugh.
January 19, 2019William T. just picked up my epiphone thunderbird today which was in for a setup and new strings and all i can say is wow, cal has done a great job, it is now playing awsome, great shop, great staff, great deals, i would recomend wall to wall to everyone
January 22, 2019 - David C. My 5 year old son was looking for a ukulele and we popped in here the service we received was great my son was able to try out a few ukuleles till he found the right one and even got a few stickers to decorate it. I couldn't recommend coming here enough
August 3, 2017Craig I. I have had 4 of my guitars set up and sorted out by cal, first class friendly service! would highly recommend using and buying from west Lothian guitar services
September 13, 2017 - James G. My beloved Tanglewood acoustic broke badly and it was repaired by West Lothian Guitar Services. Friendly and helpful and did a cracking job fixing a nasty break. I can’t recommend highly enough. ��
October 31, 2017Iain M. This shop/service is badly needed in Livingston. So much energy about the place. Magic!

Setups - From £50 + Strings
We’ve all been there – You save and save (and save) then spend £100’s on a brand new guitar you have lusted after for months or even years. You finally get it in your hands and it just feels…’off’. Or, your faithful 6-stringed friend suddenly starts to buzz, fight you or just not sound like it did.
Guitars are almost always not ready to play as well as they should straight out the box and certainly not if they are your old ones that have been tucked away in a cupboard for years.
Let’s change this.
Setups are just about the best thing you can do for your instrument outside of playing it regularly so get in touch and let me show you how I can make this more fun for you.
Restrings - From £15 + Strings
Restringing your guitar or bass can feel like a laborious task to a lot of players….but I love it.
Prices start from £20 plus cost of strings for a standard 6-string and includes giving your instrument and frets a spa-level clean and polish whilst I’m at it.
Mods - £P.O.A
I can install pickups, create custom wiring and fit replacement parts to make your guitar an ever more excellent tool for expressing yo’self… Let me know what you fancy and what your budget is and we’ll make it happen.
Repairs - £P.O.A
From snapped headstocks to worn out nuts (ooyah) I can help. I’ll give you a fair idea of time and cost, and keep you updated throughout!
If you have a guitar or bass that you would like to have looked at, just book an appointment below.
We’ll accept the intrument in on your chosen day/time and let you know when the work is complete!
