Who is Dream Guitar Services?

My name is Peter Davies. I set up Dream Guitar Services in London in 1989 and moved the business to Northamptonshire in 1990.

What I do

Offer a quality service to pro, semi-pro and hobby musicians in maintaining, repairing and setting up stringed instruments, particularly electric and acoustic guitars, basses & mandolins. I have also built guitars to order, but due to high demand for other services, I no longer take on guitar-building consignments. The majority of my work comes by recommendation.

Mission

To listen and find out exactly how you would like your instrument to be, offer advice if required and exceed your expectations. "Plays like a dream" is the aim.
