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, 2017Greg B. Put my bass in for a set up. Really quick turnaround in time for my weekend rocking.
Bass now plays beautifully, great action and improved sound thanks to some tweeting of the pick-ups.
Would highly recommend Cal for all set up needs!
September 19, 2017 - David M. Finally got round to putting a bass in for a setup. What a difference I thought I had had it set up "ok" but wow its sooper low and fast now also love the flat wound strings cal ordered in for me can't recommend cal and the shop highly enough
May 10, 2018Malcolm H. great guys love shop awesome banter great equipment and toys
May 28, 2019 - Donald 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, 2017Andy H. Fixed up my old strat and did an amazing job. Super professional work, cheers man 🙂

July 4, 2017Chris 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.
October 17, 2018 - Kev 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
November 7, 2023Joe B. I have a very well played (29 year old) Jim Deacon Vintage Strat. As you can imagine the frets were well worn making it almost impossible to set up a smooth action. I have had other guitars over the years but always return to the Jim Deacon as it is my fav to play.
After discussing with Cal, it was decided to completely replace the neck, as there wasn't a lot of fret left to polish down at some points !
After handing in my guitar for only one day it was returned with a new neck, bone nut and quality tuning pegs. It was set up to a high standard with lovely action an perfect intonation.
A great idea for anyone wanting to resurrect older loved guitars and make them as new.
Thank you Cal for the quality of work and amazing value. I would highly recommend.
Thanks, Joe 🙂

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
