ABOUT US

Guitar Repairs South West was established in 2017 by Dave Johnson, a guitar fan who back in ‘97 wanted a steel string acoustic guitar so badly he decided to build one for himself. In the years that followed, he learned a bit more about the art of lutherie and continued to build a few more acoustic and electric guitars. He also started fixing and repairing his friends (and friends of friends) guitars when they had issues or required set-ups and restringing. Repairs quickly evolved to regular servicing, modifications, refinishing, custom builds and the like, and it was from that process that a business evolved utilising skills that had developed over a 20 year period.

Guitar Repairs South West is located in the town of Vasse, Western Australia and can provide complete instrument servicing including all major and minor repairs, set-ups, structural damage repair, electronics fault finding, custom modifications, fret work, pickup installations, refinishing of instruments, restoration of vintage guitars, friendly advice and the supply of general guitar consumables. Repair and service for woodwind and brass instruments is also welcomed. All quotes are provided free of charge.
