Rob Matthews Guitar Repair

Rob is a wealth of knowledge. I am a repeat customer, each time he works on anything for me be it a minor set-up to a full refret and more, it comes back better than I had thought possible.I highly recommend, very thorough and professional.

I had a great chat with Rob when I dropped off my guitar and he is super friendly and highly knowledgeable. He replaced a broken nut and did a full refret on my vintage Ibanez Les Paul and it plays amazing now. I'll be taking all my guitars to Rob from now on and I highly recommend him to anyone needing guitar work done. Cheers Rob!

Rob has worked on all of my guitars for the last 5-6 years now and always does a fantastic job. His care and quality of work are second to none, do not go anywhere else, this man is the guy.

My bass repair came in under the estimated price. Rob was great to chat to and I'd recommend him to anyone

Rob consistently does amazing work on my instruments and really listens to my requests and preferences making sure they're set up correctly for me! Always super friendly and gives excellent advice. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs a guitar looked at.

Rob has taken good care of my guitars for years and has always been willing to give me advice when needed. Super friendly guy and really knows his stuff, I doubt there is anyone better to take your guitar to get fixed in Wellington. Highly recommended

Rob has been working on my guitars for about 15 years and I whole-heartedly recommend him for any kind of job. Always amazing work and great chats – explains technical details in a way that is easy to understand and treats every instrument, whether it's a vintage Gibson or the most basic of entry-level acoustics, with the utmost care and respect.

Rob is a friend of mine and I manage a local music shop.I have known him for many years and have watched him grow in both talent and skill.He is well set up and offers a range of basic to way advanced luthiering skills, all to a very high standard.This includes fret dressing, refretting, neck resets and many other services beyond the maintenance bench of our shop.I refer customers, friends and also our own instore and warranty repairs on to his business regularly, and it always comes back beyond expectation.At times he will get over run with business, so expect that you may be in a moderate cue, but it is well worth waiting for his service.He also can customize and fit after market pickups, both electric and acoustic to a very high standard.I recommend him as a trust worthy and reliable service and a total asset to the local Wellington music scene, we are very lucky to have a resource like Rob in Wellington city.Thanks Rob, you're a guitar nerd and a scholar.Peter J
