London based luthiers who can upgrade a guitar?

Drew_TNBD

Just curious at this stage. I think I want to upgrade my Orville LPC's bridge saddles and nut. I'm thinking Graphtec string saver saddles, and Black Tusq XL nut.

The only place I've used that way is chandlers in Kew. Round the corner is also Charlie chandlers guitar experience.

Yeah, either of the above or why not ask Jon at Feline as Croydon is easy enough for you to get to.

Feline is the place to go!

I can recommend Jon Dickinson at Antenna Studios in Crystal Palace.

Gassage

@drew_fx totally agree re chandlers and Charlie. Greg Mchilak at Guitaraid in Fulham also very good

Recommend Grizzly Guitars in Hackney.

Cheers guys! I'll give Feline a ping.

OilCityPickups

Jon at Feline or LA Guitars in Finchley ... I'm partial ... they both sell my pickups lol ... plus they are both good!

Corvus

LA Guitars helped me make my first guitar in the 80s. Very skilled guys and nice with it.

The saddles are about £27-29 to supply

The nut blank is about £8-9

Strings we can supply or you may have a fresh set to go on

Fitting and cutting and setting it all up will be about an hours labour time - so about £50

Turnaround is about a couple of weeks as e have a fair amount of work in (and we possibly need to get the saddles for the gotoh bridge in specially as checking stock it seems we only have the Epiphone variant in the tunamatic saddles currently)

We'd need to look at the bridge to assess which style of saddles it needs

There is a chart here  http://www.graphtech.com/products/brands/string-saver/string-saver-originals-tune-o-matics

It's likely to be thses if it's the big post style TOM :
