If you’ve stumbled across my site then you need some guitar stuff. I’m your man!
I am a self-confessed guitar geek, with 17 years’ experience working at Fender Guitars in various roles (most recently as Product Manager), over 30 years playing guitar and taking guitars apart (and putting them back together!), and have industry-recognised training in guitar maintenance. So you can be sure you’re leaving your pride and joy in the hands of someone who will treat it with care and respect.
Offering repair, maintenance and upgrades for all types of guitar (electric, acoustic, bass, solid body, thinline, jazz box etc), Bowden’s Guitar Servicing was set up with one goal in mind – getting those guitars sounding and playing their best!
