Manly Guitar Works - The Most Trusted Guitar & Bass Repairs and Servicing on the northern beaches

Heath is an absolute magician. He turned my warped old Tele into something that is now an absolute joy to play. Intonation was perfect, and the guitar was immaculately clean. His price is better than most guitar shops, and he's a general all round top bloke. Highly recommend!

I bought a second hand guitar for my son and Heath did a beautiful job servicing the instrument so that it now plays at its best. Heath was also very helpful in assessing a potential problem. It’s great to know I have found an honest and skilled person to return to when needed.

Thanks Heath for the absolute professional service and attention to detail, I’d been advised you’d give, when dropping off an impulse purchase during lockdown of a new guitar.Having wanted a Maton guitar for ages I purchased a Maton Messiah during the last lock down sight unseen from a Melbourne dealer. It was already a beautiful guitar but needed the action lowered to enable me to really get my fingers confident to play it as I’d hoped.Heath took an amazing guitar and made it so much better in my hands.Thanks Heath, I can’t wait to drop off another of my babies to see what magic you can do with them. Your skills have already elevated my playing.I can’t recommend Heath’s guitar services anymore, especially if you’re not a professional player like me.CheersMike

Heath is in every way a true guitar whisperer. He listens and understands what the instrument needs but also what the musician wants from the instrument. Great work on my old bass and acoustics. Thanks. Elliott Weston

I’ve owned a Maton SRS-60C for the past 5 years and never had it worked on. Got the idea from a mate after he had a strum of it, looked online and found Manly Guitar Works - I wish I found them 5 years ago!Heath has worked some magic on this guitar - it plays beautifully, feels fantastic moving up and down the fret board, and is the cleanest I’ve ever seen it! Very satisfied with his work.Heath is a fantastic bloke who has an evident love for guitars, and that’s reflected in the way he genuinely cares about your instrument. Very grateful for his work!HIGHLY recommend Manly Guitar Works!

After finding my 30 years + old 1st guitar in my parents garage, I decided to get it fixed up for sentimental reasons. Heath did a complete rewire, dropped a hot Seymour Duncan pickup and gave it a full setup and tune. It came back playing so well that it's the only guitar I want to play. Way better than it ever was back in high school.Thanks Heath, you're a legend!!

Thanks Heath, I'm so surprised how well this guitar plays now. I've had it for years and it has never played this well. I always thought that is was because it was a Mexican guitar and therefore somehow inferior. Apparently this wasn't true. Thank you so much, you can look forward to seeing my other guitars soon.Cheers,Graham

I needed a tech to replace the pots in my Fender American 60th Anniversary Stratocaster and found Heath. He was patient and well mannered despite my barrage of questions. He got the specific parts for me and did everything within a few days. He work is immaculate. My precious guitar came back shiny and sounded solid. No dings no complaints and now thinking of my next project. I am very fortunate to have found MGW because now I know where to go!

Awesome work! Les Paul Custom Shop and Guild F50 both restored by Heath. Both guitars suffering from rust from 20yrs of salty air. Hunted down the exact components, replaced hardware, fixed electronics, high attention to detail, both playing as good as ever. Highly recommend.
