Get your old classics brought back to life with RB Guitar Repairs! We repair many other stringed instruments, such as Banjos, Mandolins, Violins and Cellos.
My name is Russell Bennett, for nearly 40 years I have been hand crafting custom guitars, repairing the accidents and restoring the classics.
I have a workshop based in County Durham, UK, and now have hand made guitars around the world, including India and Australia.
I take great pleasure in repairing guitars and I'm proud to have brought some old classics back to life.
Get creative and choose from a wide variety of materials. Wood for the back, top, sides & neck. Machine heads of all shapes and sizes, Custom frets & fret board and Custom Inlaying.
I have seen guitars in all kinds of conditions over the years and have made some fantastic transformations. If you have a guitar in need of some attention, please get in touch. Everything from strings and frets to holes and resprays can be done.
We restore the quality back into old classic guitars which need bringing back to life. There really is nothing we can't do!
