What players across London say.

Absolutely brilliant service. Having the setup done at my home studio saved me so much time — my Martin D-28 has never sounded better. The intonation work was perfect and the action is spot on.
Sarah M.Full Setup · Acoustic Guitar
I'd struggled with high action on my Stratocaster for months. The mobile service was incredibly convenient and the difference is night and day. Professional job, fair price, no trip across London.
James R.Action Adjustment & Setup
As a music student I really appreciated the educational side — exactly what was being done and why. My acoustic now plays like a dream and the new strings sound fantastic. Great value.
Alex T.Student Setup Package
Professional from start to finish. My guitar needed extensive work and they delivered exactly as promised. The mobile service meant I didn't have to worry about transport at all.

01Camden Setups, Answered

Which Camden areas do you cover?

We collect and return guitars right across Camden — Camden Town, Kentish Town, Primrose Hill, King's Cross, Bloomsbury, Holborn, Denmark Street and the surrounding postcodes — all included in the fixed £65 setup.

How does a Denmark Street appointment work?

Arrange a free consultation with Otto at Sixty Sixty Sounds, 28 Denmark Street, London WC2H 8NJ. You can discuss the guitar at the bench before agreeing the work, or use the door-to-door collection service instead.

How long does a setup take?

A standard setup is usually completed in 3–4 days from collection to return. If extra work or parts are needed, we'll confirm the revised timing before proceeding.

What if my guitar needs more than a setup?

If we spot anything beyond a setup — fret wear, electronics issues or vintage restoration and refinishing work — we'll contact you with a clear quote before doing any work. Vintage and archtop instruments are a particular specialism of ours.
