“Andy has lovingly restored all of the Gems in my collection” (Various Repairs)

Andy has lovingly restored all of the Gems in my collection, featuring a full refret on a '83 Les Paul, some fairly serious structural bracing repair on a vintage Guild DV52, and returning my 1920s Windsor Banjo to its former glory, it's is now intonating amazingly and the gold plate and brass tuning pegs are gleaming like it's fresh from the production line! After two separate visits, it's safe to say I'm a convert and trust him implicitly to carry out any job on my precious instruments for a reasonable price and with a smile on his face. Great work, good prices, top bloke!

Andy has been settling up my guitars for the last 5 years always a top job tried all the techs in and around Birmingham and this guy is the best by far

Absolutely top notch service from start to finish

I took my guitars to andy at RGG for a complete inspection, service and setup and I have to say they have never played and sounded so good. Many thanks Des [spunge]

“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'.
