Please feel free to tell us what you think of Planet Guitar.

“Ask any guitar player and they'll tell you,"Guitar techs are worth their weight in gold". I would never attempt any tricky DIY guitar fixes, I leave it to the professionals. Jim at Planet Guitar came to my rescue when my Lowden acoustic developed a niggling rattle. He fixed it in no time at all. When something goes wrong with any of my guitars, I have no hesitation in leaving my guitars in his, extremely trustworthy & expert hands.

Graeme Clark - Wet Wet Wet

“Hi all you "musos". I’m a working musician living in France.

The other day, I met Jim who was on holiday in the Charente Maritime. We started to chat, he told me what he does, and I said that I had an annoying buzz on my Freshman.

I fetched my Freshman, Jim flew over the fingerboard, looked, then said, "found it, now I’ ll repair it".

5 minutes later no more buzz !!

What a guy!!!!!”

“Jimi is a fantastic teacher!!! My 11 year old son’s guitar playing has improved enormously in the short time that he has been taught by Jimi. He really enjoys the lessons and now practices a lot more than he used to”

Karen

“My daughter is thoroughly enjoying her guitar lessons and has been inspired to practice at home lots without being nagged to do so!! Jimi was quick to recognise my daughter’s enthusiasm and has been working at her speed. Very impressed”

Phil

Jimi is a great teacher & very relaxed with lessons, which is important to me as I want to learn in a productive & nurturing environment. I really look forward to my lessons.”

Amber

“I’ve learnt a lot from Jimi. He explains things really well with a very hands on approach. As well as explained and demonstrated, he writes everything out clearly as we progress which helps me understand the theory a lot quicker. I really enjoy jamming scales over Jimi playing rhythm guitar.”

Jimmi

“Jimi is a great teacher, he makes it fun to learn and has a great approach to teaching. I’ve already learnt so much in the few lessons we’ve had and really enjoy playing guitar.”

Izzy

“Having taught myself guitar for approximately 20 years I recently decided to book some lessons as Youtube video’s just weren’t working when it came to areas I wanted to learn, such as scales and modes.

A friend recommended Jimi and so I booked some lessons and told him the areas I wanted to work on.

Jimi arrived with a number of prepared sheets and patiently explained how to play what I wanted, going through each exercise slowly and helping me to build up my technique and confidence.

Am very happy with my progress through having lessons, have booked more and recommended some friends that want to learn guitar to contact Jimi too!'

'Jimi is a friendly and patient tutor and always arrives prepared with a thought-out lesson plan.

Working through exercises slowly and building up on these, I have learnt a great deal regarding scales and solo play and have recommended Jimi to friends that want to learn guitar, from beginner to advanced levels.”

Scott

“Over the years Jimi has completed various repairs and modifications to both my electric and acoustic guitar to a high standard, including general set ups to a modified volume pot for extra tonal variation.

His knowledge of guitars and attention to detail ensure excellent results every time.”

Aaron Murray - Session Guitarist

“After my guitar was badly damaged in an accident, I was convinced that it was destined for the bin. A friend of mine (who has used Jimi’s services for a long time) put me in touch and I was amazed that not only did Jimi repair my pride and joy to an excellent standard but was extremely impressed with his guitar knowledge and customer service.

His work was carried out efficiently and to a high standard. I was kept informed of progress all the way throughout and welcomed any suggestions or advice he gave.

I now use Planet Guitar to service all of my guitars and will also be taking guitar lessons from Jimi.

I will be recommending Jimi to everyone I know!!!!

excellent job mate, keep up the good work”
