“I am delighted with my Strat. It was all as described and absolutely fabulous both in condition and to play” (1977 Fender USA Stratocaster Natural)

February 7, 2022

I am happy to say:

“I am delighted with my Strat. It was all as described and absolutely fabulous both in condition and to play. Andy is a really nice guy, very accommodating, knowledgeable and on meeting him, I would say, trustworthy. He has a good name in the music world and I recommend him highly. Alan Gray, Chipperfield, Herts”.

“I can confidently recommend Andy De Looze, if you are looking for a good guitar tech” (1978, Gibson 25/50 Les Paul)

"I can confidently recommend Andy De Looze, if you are looking for a good guitar tech. After nearly ten years of searching and speaking to various workshops, trying to find the right guy to refret my beloved Les Paul 25/50, I found his website and called him up. Communication was excellent. He listened to my needs and offered in-depth technical advice. I could tell we shared the same enthusiasm for old instruments, which filled me with confidence. Within a week of entrusting him with my favourite guitar, he had rescued her from semi-retirement, sharing photos of the process as he went along. The guitar now sounds and plays better than it ever has, and that is exactly what I was hoping for."

Andy was quick to react and answer questions (1960 Hofner Club 50)

Andy was quick to react and answer questions. Very kind. Handling and shipping was professional, and you can tell he loves guitars and respects the people who buy guitars. - Lior Lavy

“You did a fantastic job, it plays like a dream”

Hello Andy,

I Just to say thanks for going over and above to sort out the neck and truss rod issues on my 1977 Fender Jazz. You did a fantastic job, it plays like a dream.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend your work to anyone.

Thanks again, Brian.

“ From the moment of the first call , to my collecting my guitar , the service was exemplary”

I met Andy through a friend of mine , I needed my hand made telecaster set up with a bigsby vibrato. From the moment of the first call , to my collecting my guitar , the service was exemplary.. I live in the US , and have used many luthiers , some very prominent ones in fact , and I have to say Andy managed to impress me more than any of them . I have no hesitation in recommending him to any guitarist , you will be as impressed as I have been , and he will become your ‘go to’ guitar doctor from that time onwards . Tony Sheridan .

“ The price was very fair given the level of skill involved”

‘Fantastic work. I recently took three of my guitars to Really Great Guitars to have work done. All of the guitars came back playing superb, a huge step up from how they were set up previously. Top notch professional set ups on all three of them. Furthermore, the work only took a few days and. I will certainly be taking other guitars there in the future! ‘ Ant Smith

“I took two treasured guitars to Andy for set ups and the work he carried out was first class”(Larrivee OM-03M & vintage Guild D55)

"I took two treasured guitars to Andy for set ups and the work he carried out was first class. The Larrivee OM-03M needed the sides of the frets dressing as well as a neck adjustment to lower the action and the vintage Guild D55 needed a lot of work, including a full fret dressing. Needless to say, both guitars play 'like butter'.

“ Your knowledge of guitars is absolutely mind blowing and exceeded all expectations” (Ibanez pickup swap-out)

Andy, I’ve got to thank you again for the work you carried out on my guitar. I can’t lie I was pretty nervous at the prospect of someone totally gutting my guitar and changing the pick-up configuration. But my mind was put at ease upon meeting you. as did the sound and variation in tone when you had finished working your magic on her. The push pull pot you fitted works like a dream. Thank you buddy I’ll be seeing you again soon with another project of that I’m certain.

“This guy knows what he’s doing and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND him for any guitar repairs” (Fender Strat Fret Work etc)

Just received my Voodoo Strat back from Andy De Looze at Really Great Guitars having had a full fret crown and set-up. This guy knows what he's doing and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND him for any guitar repairs. Thanks, Andy - great job.

“I am definitely going to go back to Andy with any future work I want doing.”

“I had 2 acoustic guitars that were in dire need of a good setup, in particular, the action on both were very high so I really wanted to get those lowered. Andy was able to get me fit in very quickly after I first contacted him, was very receptive of what I wanted doing, and was a really great price. I wasn’t in any great rush for the work to be done but Andy turned it around within a couple of days. I’m really happy with the work he did, and both guitars are now much more playable! I am definitely going to go back to Andy with any future work I want doing.”

“I have no hesitation in recommending Andy to other guitarists for set-ups and repairs.”

I visited Andy recently after recommendations from a friend and a stranger. In the past I’ve traveled a long way to get my guitars set up, so the possibility of finding someone more local was worth a try. First of all, it was a pleasure to deal with a cheerful, experienced guitar player. Some techs don’t play and it makes it harder to describe ‘feel’ and what you’re after. I left one guitar to have the intonation improved and another to have a neck reset and a new saddle. The work was done in a few days and I was very pleased with the results and price (which had been agreed before work commenced).

I have no hesitation in recommending Andy to other guitarists for setup and repairs.
