About Me

Who am I?

My name is Jack Ellis, I am a luthier based in Salford, Manchester.  I take great pride in my work – I will always take the extra step to ensure a satisfied customer, putting my full effort in.  I find setting up and repairing instruments very enjoyable and rewarding as I have always had a keen interest in how things work.

Many of my customers recommend their friends or often come in as repeat customers.  Its very rewarding to see and hear an instrument play better than when it came in and even more complimentary to have that person recommend me to someone else.

Please ask me about anything – any problem with your instrument I can either fix or advise the best course of action to take in order to help you get on with playing!

History

Before starting my own workshop, I worked for Sheehan's Music Services, the midlands leading music store, as a full-time repairer. I dealt with setups, repairs and regularly gave advice to customers. There I worked closely with the experienced guitar builder Colin Keefe of Keefe Guitars who helped me further my knowledge as a professional guitar repairer.

After moving to Salford University to study I quickly began to setup other students' guitars and other instruments. Having major success that year constantly taking on professional paid jobs I decided to found Jack's Instrument Services independently to offer my luthier services to Greater Manchester.
