Guitar Repairs and Setups for Musicians in Mackay

Bring your acoustic, electric, or bass guitar to Wayne for careful setups, maintenance, and repairs near Mackay.

I’m Wayne, the technician behind Riff Raff Guitar Solutions. At my Walkerston workshop, I help musicians in Mackay and surrounding areas care for the instruments they play. A guitar may need a fresh set of strings, an adjustment to improve comfort, or closer attention to a fault. I assess its condition and listen to what you have noticed before discussing the work that may help.

An instrument that sees regular use may develop buzzing frets, tuning trouble, or switches that cut out. Older guitars can need careful attention to worn parts and previous repairs. I work on acoustic, electric, and bass guitars, including vintage instruments. Whether you know exactly what needs fixing or simply notice that the guitar feels different, we can start with a conversation about the symptoms.

Speak directly with Wayne about your guitar and the work it needs.

Older instruments receive attention suited to their condition and existing parts.

From routine restringing to rebuilds, discuss the right work for your instrument.

My 15-point setup begins with an assessment of the guitar’s playability and electronics. The process includes cleaning, fret polishing, new strings, and checks of the nut, saddles, neck relief, and string height. I adjust intonation, pickup height, and the tremolo when the guitar has those features. The aim is to address the details that affect how the instrument feels, sounds, and holds its tuning.

Some problems need more than a setup. I offer fret dressing and refretting, nut and hardware replacement, crack repairs, paint work, pickup changes, and electrical fault diagnosis. Work on switches, jacks, pots, solder joints, and wiring is also available. The right approach depends on the instrument and the parts involved, so call with a few details before bringing your guitar to the workshop.

Tell me what you play, what has changed, and what you would like the guitar to do better. You can call 0468 880 537 or send a message with the make, model, and a short description of the problem. If you are considering new parts or a more involved rebuild, we can discuss that too. I’ll help you work out the next practical step.
