"Joe did a fabulous job dealing with some tricky lifting frets on my Frankenjazz, setting it up and giving it an all round fettling. I can genuinely say that it’s never felt or played better than it does now. He made sure to check I was content before undertaking any remedial work and kept me informed all through the process. Top class work, top class guy!!"

Joseph Dodd
"I gave the team at Elite String Works two guitars to clean up and do a full setup on. One was last minute as well. They did an incredible job on both, very happy with it. Professional communication the whole way through, and explained the process as well. Very happy. Would highly recommend."

Tudor Vaipan
"I recently took my Harley Benton Explorer to Elite String Works for new pickups and a setup, and the results are fantastic. The guitar sounds great and plays better than ever. The attention to detail was impressive, and the work was done with care. Highly recommended for quality service!"

“Not gonna lie - I think Joe has set the bar at a new level. Not only did my £3k Suhr come back playing like a new instrument, there was a work assessment. It was like getting my car back from my Mechanic, who also works at a higher level than everyone else.Joe is the guy to see for if you really want your instrument taken care of!
(And no - that’s not a euphemism!)”
