Positive Experience: I had problems with my Hot Rod Deluxe Amp cutting in and out on the overdrive channels. [The amp is out of warranty]
I took it to Syndal Music (who are authorised Fender repair shop) and asked them to check it out and repair the problem, as well as replace the two crappy plastic input jacks with high quality switchcraft jacks.
It was fixed and ready for pickup 6 days later and cost AU$120 (US$100) , which I think is superb as it costs AU$100 just for some of the bigger stores just to open the back of an amp.
Syndal Music is a small guitar/amp/keyboard store, the guys who run it are friendly and there is no pressure ... which is why I like to give this sort of business to them. Would recommend anyone to take their equipment to them for repair.

Name and address: Real Guitars

Positive Experience: Brendan is the owner and main guy at Real Guitars (he was the lead guitarist in the seminal early 70s Aussie band MADDERLAKE) and Brendan knows guitars. (his offsider Ian knows basses)
I take all my guitars and basses to REAL GUITARS for initial set-ups (those that I have built myself), refrets (Brendan refret two of my 66 Jaguars and they feel and look like it was a factory refret with zero damage to the binding) or for any other serious problem that I cannot do myself. Every guitar I have had at Real Guitars has been set up superbly.
I also use Real Guitars to get my bodies/necks painted with Nitrocellulose paint. The best paint/refinishing I have ever seen.
Brendan is the man !!! I cannot recommend Real Guitars highly enough
