I've had the guitar for a while now and I just cannot put it down. Great work, John. It's a real work of art. That Ancient Kauri is really beautiful. Forget all those relics... this is the real thing. This thing really rocks. That Armstrong P-90 has some serious growl, and the Turk H/B is clean and sweet. Through my Blues Jr. this guitar has some real attitude. It's certainly not just a pretty face. The neck has a great surface feel. Very silky. I've never had a mahogany neck and I can't get over how smooth and playable it feels. Thanks again for this guitar, John. It really is beautiful.

I've had the Baritone for a few weeks now. The build itself is of a very professional quality. The craftsmanship and attention to details leaves nothing to be desired. The wood combo in this guitar is simply beautiful. Soundwise, I really like the pickups, especially the P90 which is brilliant. The sustain in this beast is awesome, almost like a piano! This order has been a real pleasure from day one. John has been very professional and kept me updated on every step of the build, checking to make sure my specs were met. This has become a truly unique and special instrument in every way.

Hey John,

Kudos all the way around for the overall look, the big sound and the nice touch of having wooden knobs. I love the way this puppy looks and feels! Mostly though, I love the BIG sound! I also want to thank you because I really wanted a Vertical bass and through you and your incredibly reasonable prices I get to live that out. This bass is all I had hoped for and more, plus the bonus of a completely unique instrument is just icing on the cake. THANK-YOU VERY, VERY MUCH!

In 2006 I had a "TeleCoaster" guitar built by John and since then it has become one of my favorite to play. In fact it is one of two I have taken with me overseas. Simply put, it is just a well-built and reliable guitar that holds it's own against brands that have been around for a long time. My particular guitar has a great woody tone that you almost wouldn't expect from a solid-body guitar. John makes it his goal to give you a guitar that you will be very happy with. In fact, I intend on getting another one made by him when I return. All the best John!

Hi John,

I just wanted to let you know that I haven't put the Tele-Coaster down since I got it! Kudos..., you really created an amazing piece. The neck is really something… as well as the mindset and vision of the instrument as a whole. It already is a dear member of my collection. My band plays in Halifax next week and I can't wait to use it live on stage.

John,

Thanks so much for such a beautiful guitar. I hope that you enjoyed making it as much as I am playing it - which is every single day. This guitar is difficult to put down as it sounds and feels great. The Ancient Kauri wood worked out really well and looks absolutely gorgeous. The inscription on the back plate was a nice touch along with your signature on the headstock. It was really a pleasure to work with you over the course of the guitar's creation. You really went through all efforts to ensure that it met my satisfaction - from the Seymour Duncan pickups to the premium rosewood neck. The Ancient Kauri Telecoaster: A guitar 30,000 years in the making and worth the wait.

John,

Thanks for making me what has become pretty much my main guitar! I have been using it for a few months now. In fact I gigged with it the night I picked it up from you and it is fabulous! It stays in tune, even when I bend the heck out of the neck. It sounds great, plays great and looks great. When I drop to an open G tuning for slide...it's the real deal.

Thanks again for everything John

Hi John

I wanted to let you know that my one and only fan Molly (my dog) very much approves of the new guitar. After about 4 hours of playing it, I'd say I have to agree. Thanks very much again for your excellent work, and please feel free to use this as a testimonial on your website.

Regards,
