I understand that not everyone wants to do their own installation or modification that they have in mind, preferring the safer set of experienced hands to set everything up for them.
Tone Merchants offers full installation of pickups, wiring kits and preamps into your bass or electric guitar. All work is charged on an hourly rate and each job can slightly vary in time needed.
We are based on Auckland’s North Shore and welcome you to book a time to go over what you would like to do. Installing of pickups, wiring kits and preamps can usually be completed within a week.
More complex mods or builds may need some more time.
See a list below of some awesome people we highly recommend & have partnered with. You can access all of our products along with any installation of pickups, pre-wired kits and preamps from our network of Luthiers, Guitar Techs and Shops across NZ & Australia.

EXCELLENT Based on 67 reviews Jordan Ellmore13 February 2025 Excellent, fast, easy service, Highly recommend! My guitar is a whole new animal with its new emerson custom wiring harness installed A++ Andrew Welch6 February 2025 Provides an excellent niche service. Sometimes I wish there were a lot more details available on the website or the ability to track delivery (mine took months due to backordered components) but in the end Brad came through and it's highly recommended as the go to shop for NZ mods! Graeme Bull3 February 2025 Very pleased with purchase and service. Super fast courier, will be back! Austyn Mills24 January 2025 I ordered a set of Lollar pickups from Brad and had him install them in my Tele - the difference in tone is night & day, great comms throughout and overall a very fun process. Can't wait to come back for the next mod - thanks so much man! Colin Lawrence10 January 2025 Brad was very knowlegeable and helpful as always. I have purchased several necks for my Tele and Strat builds and they have been of really good quality and apart from relief setting to personal taste, they have required no extra finishing. Brian Clark6 January 2025 Excellent product, shipping 2 thumbs up Logan Andrew3 January 2025 Great service. Very accommodating and good deals. mike kearney29 December 2024 I purchased a strat type neck and machine heads from Tone Merchants online. Really impressed with the quality, and service supplied!!. Brads also a wealth of knowledge for advice... Tone Merchants is now my new go to for guitar parts. Tim Brown10 December 2024 Brad is a real gem for the guitar world. Super helpful and a wealth of knowledge. Marcel Reinen10 November 2024 Bought a shiny new Magellen 800 recently from Tony @ Tone Merchants, because I needed more power for my Barefaced Big Twin II cab, particularly when running my 5 string Fender Jazz. I've used it on a variety of gigs and this amp is insane. Never gone louder than halfway, with headroom to burn. The sound is clear and tight and as a bonus the DI feed for my IEM's is super clean. Couldn't be happier with this amp. No need to look anywhere else!
