Meet the Team
So you’re a guitar Geek! We know you are ’cause you’re here aren’tcha? Ahuh! Sprung! Well, since you’ve gotten this far, maybe we should tell you a little about ourselves and what we do.
John Davis
I’m John, a Brisbane Luthier and the proud owner of The Guitar Repairers. I made my first solid body electric guitar as a woodwork project back when I was a just a boy.
Andre East
Andre was our school based apprentice, but in the years he’s been working with us he has become much more than that. He sets a high standard in guitar maintenance so we barely had to “remold” him at all. He has moved up from sweeping the floor and making coffee to refrets and leveling with ease.

Restorations
This is where we really shine. We regularly restore guitars – some over 100 years old, and the improvements we can bring about are incredible. There are very few instruments which are beyond saving. The good news is that older guitars have a lot of potential for great tone because of the aged wood, and the manufacturing techniques employed.

Repairs
There is a vast array of problems guitars can face over the years, from small buzzes and tonal deficiencies, to broken or failing components. This is all normal. The good news is that we’ve seen everything before, and we know how to fix it! We will usually be able to explain the source of the problem to you right away and offer the best solution or solutions, as well as quoting for the repair.
