Testimonials

“Had a pickup fitted and a setup done on my Yamaha acoustic and I couldn't be happier. It plays and sounds really great. Top quality work at a reasonable price with no messing around with what so ever. I would recommend John in a heart beat.”

— Rory O’Connor

“John restored an old banjo mandolin for me recently. His work on this instrument was subtle and discerning. It was far more playable on it's return and I was very happy with his work.

He was very detailed in consulting with me and I had it back very quickly.”

— Shane McGrath (The Sick and Indigent Song Club, Minnie and the Illywhackers, The Hot Dots)

“John has worked on two of my guitars now with great attention to detail and very quick turnaround. He listened to exactly what I wanted and advised where necessary.

John breathed new life into my 20 year old acoustic with a fret dressing, new bone nut and saddle and brought the action down and set up with perfect intonation and no buzzing on any of the frets.

John also set up my new dreadnought for 13s. Adjusted the nut and saddle and brought the action down making the guitar feel and sound better than it did in the shop.

I'd highly recommend John's work and he's now my go-to guy for any work, big or small, that needs doing to my instruments.”
