The Fret Shop

The Fret Shop was established in 2001 after Andries returned from America where he lived and worked for 2 years, while studying to become a qualified Luthier.

Before going to America, Andries studied towards a diploma in Woodwork, and worked as a Woodwork Teacher where he fine tuned his knowledge and craft.

Andries and his repair shop is well known in the music industry due to his extensive knowledge of all string instruments, as well as his sterling service and faster-than-anyone-else turn around times. He takes pride in a job well done and charges reasonable prices.

Since he’s been involved in repair work, he has become a household name to many well known South African Artists.

He started his own line of guitars, previously known as Foster Customs and now changed to Andronis, which he hand-builds on order.
