Did a great job on reviving my ancient neglected guitar and I bought a cracking new one from them too ❤️

June 29, 2017 - David H. Really friendly and helpful. tricky to find if you're following Google maps - it's beside the Co-op
December 2, 2018Kev E. I work away from home and spend a lot of time in a hotel close to the shop, i always bring my guitar to practice, but this week I made the schoolboy error of forgetting my picks.
The shop is closed on Tuesday, however the owner still took my call, when I got back to my hotel I had a little package with a set of picks and a case and some sweets.
Top man thank you so much

February 9, 2018Chris C. I dropped into West Lothian guitar services with my les Paul. Cal quickly fixed a couple of gremlins that have been bugging me for a while. No problem recommending his work and I have a few other guitars I'll be bringing in shortly. Thanks guys.

July 23, 2019Shirley M. A great local shop. Welcoming and knowledgeable owners/staff and a cafe too. What more do you want?
June 1, 2019 - Gordon B. What's not to like? They sell guitars, they repair guitars, they set up guitars. It's like letting a kid loose in a candy shop. Well, what are you waiting for?
February 9, 2019Don C. Quick repair to my acoustic guitar, and the job is bang on and a great price, highly recommended

Services & Prices
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.
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.
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.
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!

JOE MCGILLVERAY GUITAR TUITION
Whether you’ve always wanted to play guitar but don’t know where to start, or if you’ve played for a while and don’t know where to go next, there’s no better way to learn than face to face with a real teacher
For beginners we can go right to the start, how music works, how to hold guitar, understanding chords and scales, all the way through to how to improvise over any song and how real music is made in 2025
For the players we can assess where you are and see if there are holes in your theory or your technique that we can work on patching up.
I believe that the best way to learn is with the music that you love so I aim to tailor lessons to your tastes and work towards your own musical goals. I really do believe you’re never too young or too old to learn an instrument.
Cheers guys,
Joe x
