My head said brake, but my heart cried never.
I will prolly take my guitars somewhere in the West End
Give Sam a call if it's more handy
Many guitars have a re-sale value. Some you'll never want to sell.

there was a tech that worked out of Hackney Wick a couple of years ago, unsure if he’s still there, who snapped off a tremolo claw screw in a masterbuilt strat, whilst doing a setup that involved decking the tremolo.
He then left the snapped screw in the body, and put in a second screw, at a crazy angle, and didn’t mention any of it!

That's still a 2.5-3 hour return trip, depending on where in East London he is, and he would have to make the journey twice.
I get the pain, took me a good 2-hour return trip every time I came to you and I live in SE London. I honestly hate any sort of London commute, it's so stressful no matter the means of transportation.

He's fixed a broken headstock on my Casino, sorted out the tricky 5-way switch rewiring of my Fender JD Telecaster, re-freted my Rickenbacker and completed a brilliant nitro finish on my Custom Tele, so not much it seems is beyond his skills.
With so many comparison web sites out there, how do I choose the best one?

Might be a one off, but I had a not so great experience. Seems like a great guy though, and his comms are excellent.

Nitrocellulose lacquer is an indication of a good sounding guitar. It allows the wood to vibrate and therefore, sound better. The process takes weeks to apply, as opposed to modern polyurethane lacquers that were developed in the late 60s. Poly-based lacquers, however, compress the wood and constrict the acoustic value of some of the best tone woods.
Synthetic modern glues that are often used to make modern guitars have their drawbacks: they produce a vibration barrier between the wood surfaces. The guitars of the 50s and mid-60s were bound with hide glue. This natural glue that will soak into pieces of wood and as the water dries, binds them together. This allows all the wood elements of a guitar to talk to one another without any vibration loss.
