Thanks Fren. You did an amazing job. I've never had an instrument play as well. Thank you sooooo much!

Hi Fren,

I just wanted to express my heartfelt appreciation for the repair work you did on my Schecter Hellraiser-5 bass.

Even though I was totally in love with it before, your setup made such an improvement, it's been elevated to amazing. Pure butter!

I guess the Universe arranged the damage so that bass would get into your hands.

Again, thanks!

Till next time, be well,

Michelle

Thanks Fren, wow!

First I have to tell you when I returned I plugged the Rickenbacker, and remarkably it was still perfectly in tune after a long bump of a car ride back to Orange County. Feels great, my fingers noticed it, plays great, and sounds so sweet now, the intonation is amazing, Best I've ever heard it sound. I really got completely lost in it for about 3 hours straight before finally interrupted by a phone call, not realizing I had lost track of all that time. Anyway, I'm really delighted and happy about it, and wanted to share that with you right away. Oh yeah, the Rickenbacker says thank you.

Hi Fren,
How are you? I got your e-mail address from your site. Cool site by the way.

Just now I had a chance to sit down with the Danelectro Baritone and I wanted to tell you that you did an amazing job! Unbelievable how you can make a cheap guitar play so smooth.

So: thank you, and I'll be back soon :-)

Peace,
Nard

Fren,

I couldn't be more pleased with the job you did on my SCGC 12-string - I can hardly put it down. You turned a couple of thousand dollar "white elephant" into highly valued part of my collection - great job! Intonation and action are probably the best I have experienced in any 12 string acoustic.

Thanks Again!

PS: I posted a nice little blurb in the AGF General Discussion regarding the guitar and the great job you did in bringing it back to superb playing condition - so if you get pinged through your website by someone referencing the SCGC, or my post (Martin_Nut user ID) in the AGF, that would be where the connection was made

Hey Fren,

I have thought about writing to you nearly every time I have picked up my Strat over the past six months, but the thought never lasted until I got around a computer. I just want to let you know that your $50 tune-up completely restored all the value in a $3,500 guitar. I literally never played this instrument because of the flaws in its intonation and action. Now it’s my favorite axe. Thanks again for riding to its rescue.

Hope all is well with you and yours.

Scot

Fren,

The guitar arrived today and it plays like a dream... it was definitely worth the wait! The craftsmanship is top-notch... the routing is impeccable and the set-up is perfect. Also, I had no idea that a pickup change would have such an impact on the sound... that Super Distortion really screams! I just promoted that instrument to my primary guitar.

I would have E-Mailed you earlier but I have been playing it non-stop for the last three hours! If you are interested, I may have another project for you in a few months! If you want me to write a testimonial for your website let me know and I will.

Thanks again for my early Christmas present!

Brian

Hey Fren,

Just wanted to let you know I had a recording session last night with the P&H (Martin Stinger) and it performed better than I could have possibly imagined. I've arleady received numerous compliments on the feel and sound of the guitar (both of which were horrible before you overhauled it). Thanks for doing such great work on it.

Best,
Danny

Fren,

MY GUITARS WORK AWESOME!!! My Fender NEVER PLAYED SO WELL! You've now made an acoustic monster outta me, I love my Ovation. Thank you soo much. I can't wait to get my "V" back!!!

Briana

Hey Fren,

Great work on the P-Bass. The gig on Sunday at the Hotel Cafe was great. I was surprised by how well I could navigate the neck. This is good news because I was in a trio situation and (Bass, Acoustic, and Piano) had to be on the ball.

Thanks again.

I want to thank you for your outstanding work on my Squier Telecaster (and my other guitars you've worked on). Your attention to detail and commitment to excellence is satisfying to see. You have a genuine feel and serious talent for this. I'm looking forward to your repairing and modifying my other guitars, some of which you haven't seen yet.

Just wanted to say thanks a ton. Seriously man, it's like a new guitar. The sustain boost from securing the bridge and probably from the nut work you did is really surprising. I wouldn't have thought a tremolo bridge was even capable of imparting THAT much resonance to the body and the neck, you can FEEL the guitar resonating. The frets feel awesome, funny though because I was so used to the flat top on the 17th fret (and using that as a position cue!) I've gotta pay a little more attention for the time being than normal.

Again, thanks for your excellent work... I'll be getting in touch with you soon about another guitar in the next couple weeks.

I can report that the Frenster Warmoth is now my daily player, and it feels great. As you know, it was basically unplayable when I got it. Your work not only made it work, it works great. As soon as I get some time, I’ll e-mail and set a time when I can bring over my other Strat for a setup and maybe a pickup swap to something hotter.

Just wanted to say thanks for doing such a nice job on my Taylor. When you said that you would be changing the shape of the nut, it seemed reasonable but I couldn't quite see it making much of a difference. I was very wrong indeed. Things seem very much improved in terms of overall clarity. I've been having fun with this guitar all week. I know the other guitar I've given you to work on has much more serious problems but if this is any indication of what I can expect, I can't wait!

Cheers
