Hi, I’m Tom! For over 20 years I have been perfecting my craft as a Guitar Luthier, building my experience across workshops, stages, studios and on the road. I live and breathe music and understand how personal the 'feel' of a Guitar is to the person playing it. I approach every single job with the same meticulous care and attention.

​

My current roster of clients that I have worked on guitars, amps and pedals for include - Noel gallagher/Gem Archer (Oasis), Ed O'Brien (Radiohead), Dave Keuning (The Killers), Idles, Eagles of Death Metal, Placebo, Yard Act, Supergrass, Roger Waters, Dinosaur Jr, Amyl & The Sniffers.​ and many more.

​

My most popular job is the now legendary 'Fretbuzz Service + Setup'! I strive for absolute precision with my Fretwork and offer Stainless Steel fretwork as standard, bespoke nuts and saddles, fully custom electronics, wiring looms, hand-wound pickups and refinishing. If you're undecided on what service you may need, I'm always available to help with pickup choices, hardware, refinishing, alternative tunings, instrument purchases and anything else that you may need!

​

Whether you're just starting out, playing at home, pubs, clubs or the worlds biggest stages, Fretbuzz is more than just a Guitar workshop - its about building a community of passionate musicians that want to get the best out of their instruments. From the moment that your Guitar is assessed on my workbench, I will get to work! I also keep you updated at every step of the repair process as the work progresses.

​

For professional and high-profile artists, I understand that time can be critical. Touring, logistics and location work often demands quick, reliable turnarounds, which I am also able to accommodate when required.​
