Top Guitar Repair Services in Australia 2025

Guitar Repair Services in Australia is an up to date list of guitar repairers, luthiers and guitar tech services in Australia.

A lot of Mr Glyn’s Pickups go to Australia. I have compiled this list of guitar repairers aka luthier in Australia to help my Aussie customers find a good guitar tech to fit their new pickups.

But also if you need a guitar set up, a re fret, guitar wiring or any other luthier service this list will be of help.

If you need guitar help in New Zealand here is a list of guitar techs in Aotearoa.

Guitar Repair Services in Australia – please help

If you have any information on a repairer or guitar tech or luthier in your area or you are a guitar repairer please get in touch. I will add them to the list.

I have primarily compiled this list as a resource for my customers but it is a useful list for any guitar player in need of help.

Please feel free to share this list if you think it may be useful to other players.

It isn’t easy finding a good repairer and hopefully this list gives you a few options.

I was a full time guitar repairer for 25 years in both the UK and New Zealand. I have seen a lot of guitars and helped very many guitar players. A big part of the process is communication, don’t expect your guitar tech to be able to read your mind. Do your best to articulate what you need. Once they have done a couple of jobs for you they will know what you like and the process will become easier for both parties.

Some jobs take time, they just do. Sometimes urgent jobs come in for touring bands, sometimes people get sick. Please be patient with your guitar tech, they want the job finished and get it out of the door too.

Please feel free to share this post far and wide on your social media. Let’s all help to promote guitar repairers across Australia and New Zealand. They deserve our support.

I once saw a sign in a guitar repair workshop that said- “We charge $100/hour for guitar repairs, $120/hour if you want to watch, $150/hour if you want to help”.

Trevor Binford -‘Ep 8 Mr Glyn Meets Your Maker’

Trevor Binford

In this episode of Mr Glyn Meets Your Maker I talk with Trevor Binford, he’s the real deal. As well as a top class guitar maker he runs a school of guitar making in Auckland NZ.

I wanted to find out how he got to where he is and where he learned his craft. Turns out we’re very lucky to have him here in New Zealand.

Hi all,

some of you will know how keen I am on NZ made musical gear. We have world class makers here in Aotearoa and the World needs to know about them. Rather than just having a good moan I’ve been trying to think of ways I can help.

After many conversations with other small manufacturers I’ve come up with an idea. I’m starting a series of YouTube videos where I chat with NZ makers so we can all get to know them a little better. I figure that seeing and hearing the person behind the product, hearing their story, their philosophy, will help promote what they do beyond just their website.

Some of these makers you may not even have heard of.

It’s a very simple format, just recording a Skype conversation. There is some editing mainly cutting out my own waffle but I do try and keep edits to a minimum. I am not a professional presenter I’m just an ordinary bloke working with what I’ve got and this is way out of my comfort zone but I hope you’ll find the content interesting.

I’ve called the series “MrGlyn Meets Your Maker”.

In episode 1 I’m talking with Aiden from Archetype Guitars in Palmerston North who very graciously agreed to go first. If these videos go any way towards you considering buying NZ made then I’ve succeeded. Please share, link to, subscribe and spread the word, that’s how you can help.

Thanks to Trevor Binford for this episode,

Glyn

Benavides Guitars – Ep 3 MrGlyn Meets Your Maker

In Episode #3 of MrGlyn Meets Your Maker I talk to David Benavides of Benavides Guitars in Ahipara. I first played one of his handmade guitars about 5 years ago and immediately gave him a call I was so impressed. If you are an aspiring guitar maker, have an interest in guitar construction or are in the market for “the” acoustic guitar it’s well worth listening to what Dave has to say. Follow the link to find out more about Benavides Guitars.

My aim is to promote my fellow makers of musical gear and have a rather nice time into the bargain.

I do hope you enjoy it, I’ve certainly had fun making them
