WELCOME TO YOUR NEW FAVOURITE GUITAR STORE!

Following many years of trading at our Otago street premises, we are pleased to announce that Jimmy Egypt’s Guitar Repair Shop business will very soon be moving to distinctive new premises at 615 Great Western Road . We have spent the last few months restoring the property and have evolved our brand to reflect our extended business parameters and family involvement. Our new business will be launched under the new name:-

“Jimmy Egypt & Sons – Musical Instruments”

When we open for business, as well as offering our acclaimed Guitar repair service, our portfolio of retail stock will include a carefully selected and what we believe is an exciting range of electric and acoustic guitars, ukuleles and banjos, ancillary instruments and accessories from many great and historic brands.

We are excited about this new phase of our business evolution and are very much looking forward to welcoming you at our launch events in early September. Please join our mailing list below to keep up to date with our progress and opening date.

Refit of the New Shop - In Progress!

The Old Travel Agents

We have acquired the Old Travel Agents situated at 615 Great Western Road

Whats behind this wallpaper??

We pulled the wallpaper from the wall to find some old pannelling that will work great for the Guitar Repair Shop

Destruction

This wall needed to come down. So we let out some steam with a sledgehammer

It was a wall and now a storage room

A frame we built in place of the wall to make a storage room for the Guitar Repair Shop

After taking the old ceiling down, we found a beautiful old Cornice which will work as a great feature for the shop after a good scrub and paint

Brooke from L.A. alt punk rock band The Regrettes spent some time hanging out in the shop today ahead of the band's gig at King Tut's Wah Wah Hut, Glasgow. Her bass had the action of an archer's bow... Now fixed. . . https://www.theregrettes.com/ #theregrettes #altpunk #glasgowwestend #fenderbass #guitarrepair

First up this morning. Full refret on Raymond of Teenage Fanclub's Gibson 335 1970-72. It's well overdue.. Frets are very flat on the board, in fact they're barely there at all with the usual notches under the plain strings. He wants me to use a wire which is not too high... Now let me see. . . #gibsonguitars #gibson335 #glasgowwestend #refretspecialist #refret #teenagefanclub #1000plusrefretsin

An interesting job to amplify a Kora the other day. Fitting a Fishman SBT piezo bug to the bridge worked great after I used a 1 Euro coin to help clamp it down, increasing the output...(no political statement intended... honestly!) Then I fashioned a custom jack plate. A happy customer! . . #glasgowwestend #kora #ethnicinstrument #harp #guitarrepair #whatsonmybench #lute #africaninstruments
