Crossfield Stringed Instruments

Can't recommend Leo highly enough, I had an old acoustic with cracked bracing and uneven frets and he carefully talked me through all the work that needed doing, why the cracks had ocurred and ways to help prevent them happening in the future.

Leo recommended adjusting my strings and ...

Leo did an awesome job of finishing my Strat’s aftermarket neck with an amber tint, nitrocellulose lacquer and some fret/setup magic, all for a very reasonable price. It looks absolutely stunning now and of course plays beautifully. Thanks Leo!
