My custom Maton that I must have had for almost 10 years now is in desperate need for a full make-over. Can anyone recommend a good guitar service shop in Brisbane, preferably one that'll cost me less than about $200. Hopefully I haven't mistreated the guitar too badly and the neck hasn't moved horribly or anything like that... |

mm $200 might be pushing it but if it were me, I'd send it back to the maton guys in SA (or is it VIC?) and have them do it, they built it in the first place so they'd be the best ones to fix it

Guy called Mick Gentry on the Gold Coast. Google his name. He is connected to Maton in some way as well from memory. He's da man.

bloke next to billy hydes or whatever it is, i think is octotech or something like that.
From what I've heard very professional, mate sent a guitar into him and very happy with the results Seriously, if you have a 10 yr old maton, spend some money on it, don't take it to some dodge person! If my 325 was going for a service it would prolly be taking a trip to him. |
