Dr Roberts Guitar Surgery

Recently attended one of Robbies set up courses to learn more on guitar maintenance. Really helpful and patient teaching approach with a wealth of knowledge on the subject. Highly reccomend.

I took my 1970s Epiphone Casino to Robbie, it wasn’t playing quite right. He diagnosed the problem within a few minutes (a slight hump in the neck), a few weeks later the issue has resolved, the guitar looks and played like new, thanks Robbie ! absolutely top quality work ! Extremely knowledgeable and also a very welcoming and friendly chap. I would definitely recommend Dr Roberts Guitar Surgery, thanks Dave

I first met Robbie in the 1980s after having dropped a Gibson Hummingbird and smashing the top. Robbie completely replaced the top and the quality of his work was astonishing. Recently he repaired a Martin 000-17 for me and again, the quality of workmanship is faultless. Robbie is a highly skilled and knowledgeable craftsman and a guitarist of some note, he is also a really nice, decent bloke, in fact precisely the sort of person you'd love to hate but you just can't.
