The Luthier - Richard Bacon, I've been fixing and building guitars for many years

Blending beauty, music and technology created the guitar. Everyone is different, and I love them all. In 2019 I travelled to the UK to attend The Crimson Guitars Lutherie School and received professional training in fret work.

My services include..

• CLASSES – learn to maintain your own guitar – guitar setup, Truss rod adjustment, Setting saddle heights, Cutting nut slots to the correct depth, Fret polishing, Restringing

I'm based in Wellington, New Zealand, and I'm happy to come and see you locally to discuss your guitar needs, acoustic or electric.
