Hodder Guitar Services

Have I mentioned lately how much I love @bigbendsnutsauce lol but real talk when it comes to a guitar with any kind of a tremelo system (like this @godin) this product is such a game changer. Ensuring all areas with string contact are well lubricated is so easy but so crucial! Need a hand with something? DM me today and we can chat!

5 years ago today I launched this service with my first buisness card. Since then unfortunately it's been on and off due to life but lately I've been getting back into it more and I'm loving it. One thing that has always remained for me: I genuinely love helping people get their instruments back to where they were when they fell in love with them! Thanks to those who have supported me from day one!

Just finished working on this beautiful @godin for a longtime client of mine! Always a pleasure to work in this awesome guitar! . . Jim had this to say: "My trusty Godin electric is back home from a day at the spa with TJ Hodder. Restrung, fixed a couple intonation issues and a bit of polish has my little buddy ready to rock! He always cares for my guitars as if they were his own and is very quick on the turnaround. To any of my friends in Durham Region or Peterborough with... a guitar in need of a bit of love, hit him up. You and your guitar will be very happy " . .

A little #beforeandafter action on this gorgeous Vester acoustic I just finished up for a client. The finish really popped and shined once it was all cleaned up! Plus a little fret board cleanup and finishing off with some Big Bends Nut Sauce makes for an incredible playing guitar that never goes outta tune! Also quick shoutout to Ernie Ball for their #Earthwound acoustic strings, great tone and feel for the price! Live in the Peterborough/Clarington area?

I've been fortunate enough to have a few new recommendations from some clients of mine over the past couple of days, but figured I would share one from my friend Jim from awhile back! I've had the pleasure of working on Jim's guitars for a couple of years now. Really appreciate the kind words my friend! #hodderguitarservices #HLC #treatedlikeitsourown #guitar #guitars #rock #hardrock #metal #punk #acoustic #guitarist #tech #music #guitarplayer #guitartech

Another fantastic customer review from my friend Kyle! Appreciate your continued buisness over the years my man and for the kind words! #hodderguitarservices #HLC #treatedlikeitsourown #guitar #guitars #rock #hardrock #metal #punk #acoustic #guitarist #guitarplayer

I had a couple of people ask me about @bigbendsnutsauce from my last post..simply put it's a nut slot and saddle slot lubricant that you apply before installing new strings. For me it was a huge game changer, I never restring my guitars without it! Ensuring the nut and saddle slots are lubricated avoids "string catches" which will cause your guitar to pull out of tune and in more extreme cases will cause string breakage! Having some tuning issues? Hit me up and lets get that taken care of for you!! All quotes are free, meet up in Newcastle or in Peterborough!! #hodderguitarservices #HLC #treatedlikeitsourown #guitar #guitars #bigbendsnutsauce #gibson #LPJ

A big thank you to Matt for the kind words! I've been quiet on social media but still love working on fine guitars such as Matt's Gibson LPJ!

I am still available for work in the Newcastle area and in Peterborough! #hodderguitarservices #hlc #guitar #guitars #rock #hardrock #metal #punk

Though I only used it as a boost the same way Kirk Windstein Crowbar use to use his #metalzone haha after seeing him talk about it in an interview I had to try it! #hodderguitarservices #HLC #guitar #guitars #gear #pedals #pedal #guitarpedals #bosspedals #heavymetal #metal #hardrock #gearporn #pedalporn #ampporn
