Phil Garvey – Spirited Productions (Hanneyfest & Wittstock)

Steve always does an excellent job for very reasonable rates and I have had no hesitation in recommending him to friends and fellow musicians for many years. Although his workshop is an 80 mile round trip for me it’s a trip well worth taking.

Thank you for the great job you did setting up my Tele. It plays noticeably better now – much smoother – and your re-cutting of the nut is magic. I shall certainly use you again for any more guitar work I need. Many thanks

Since taking delivery of my “Steve Kendall” custom the Gibbo has not been out of its case! The action is truly amazing, and the sound is delightful. The wood has a wonderful feel and the instrument asks to be played.

I just wanted to let you know that you have completely transformed the sound and feel in a way I wouldn’t have believed. I used to hate the instrument – now I can’t leave it alone! Thanks a million for a brilliant job!

Steve just a quick message to say thanks as you have turned a good guitar into a legend of a guitar. Can't believe how different it plays thanks!

Just wanted to report back, the guitar is transformed! It plays and sounds infinitely better, Im sure much closer to how the designer intended.
Secondly Dews Meadow was open today so I am in pie and guitar heaven. Thanks again

Glad to report that my Fylde Tenor Guitar now sports a high end Headway pickup and has a new zeroth fret to replace the worn one. It sounds incredible! Thank you Steve Kendall Guitars.
