04Reviews

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.

FAQ

Your Setup Questions, Answered

Everything you need to know about pickup, what the fixed £65 includes, turnaround and how custom repair quotes work.

01Mobile Setup, Answered

What is a mobile guitar setup?

A mobile guitar setup is a full professional setup where the luthier comes to you: we collect your guitar from your door anywhere in London, set it up at the bench, and return it playing perfectly. The work is identical to a shop setup — strings, action, neck relief, intonation and a clean — for a fixed £65 with pickup and delivery included.

Do you really pick up and drop off my guitar?

Yes. Free pickup and delivery to your door is included in the fixed £65, anywhere in London — you never have to travel to a shop or wait in a queue.

How long does a mobile setup take?

We guarantee a 3–4 day turnaround from pickup to delivery, including weekends for scheduling flexibility.

Which areas of London do you cover?

We cover every London borough. If you're inside London, we'll come to your door for the same fixed £65 with free pickup and delivery.

Is a mobile setup as good as a shop setup?

Yes — the setup work is identical; the only difference is that we handle the travel. For major structural work or fitting a whole new set of frets we'll quote first and be upfront if a dedicated workshop is the better call.

Can I get my guitar looked at in person first?

Yes, by appointment — we offer free in-person consultations at Sixty Sixty Sounds, 28 Denmark Street, London WC2H 8NJ. Otherwise we can quote remotely and collect from your door.
