Cottam Guitars

I had a 30 year old Fender Telecaster that had been well used and very active in all that time, but was certainly feeling her age and badly needed some TLC. Max accepted the task of rejuvenating the tired old girl and did so with hugely impressive care and craftsmanship. Restoration completed perfectly without losing any of the well-earned character. She now passes on to the next generation of guitarist in my 10 year old son. May they have many adventures together! Thanks so much Max

Great service, flexible and clearly knowledgeable - was recommended by a friend and glad I went to Cottam guitars - will be my go to option from now on. Thanks for bringing my epiphone back from the dead!!!

My Jackson had been experiencing some electrical issues with the pickup switch selector. Max managed to squeeze me in the same morning and fixed the issue whilst I waited. He also spotted an issue with my bridge and promptly sorted that. Fantastic service. I'll be sure to use Max again for any guitar or bass issues, and recommend him to anyone looking for a quality guitar technician.

I am a newbie bass player, I bought a cheap bass and went for lessons at a local music rooms. My teacher suggested that my bass wasnt right and needed to be set-up. He suggested Max as somebody that he knew could do a good job. I took my bass to Max who quickly diagnosed the problem, I left my bass with him and he did what he does best. On reclaiming and playing my bass Ive noticed two things. Firstly it sounds a million times better, the buzz on the strings has gone and the tone sounds so much better and, secondly, I am no better now that I was before but my mistakes sound much better than they did. Thank you Max, when I upgrade you are my first port of call.
