This is my second batch of tools that I…
This is my second batch of tools that I have purchased from ChrisAlsop. I have just purchased the Diamond Fret Crowning File, Beech Handle. which has exchangable heads. Its fantastic. I also own the Fret Dressing File with Beech Handle, the Guitar Neck Rest. / Neck Caul. Cork Lined. 240mm with adjustable height slide. straight edge, fret dressing beam, action setter... I am very very pleased with them. I play various instruments but mainly guitar and bass and with Chris's tools and advice I have become good enough for my needs setting up my instruments. I feel these tools are really well made, good value and compete well with other brands. If you have any doubts about buying these tools please don't. As long as you have thought through your purchase and know your need, then I dont think you will be disappointed

Outstanding!
I telephoned with a query before ordering my guitar part and received an immediate response together with sound advice. Whilst the service was prompt and efficient, the product also turned out to be flawless. A fully-comprehensive information and fitting pack was an unexpected surprise too. Therefore, I would thoroughly recommend Chris Alsop Guitar... Outstanding!

A perfect fit saddle for my classical guitar. A little pricey but then again you get what you pay for. Don't bother going the cheap route, get it right first time with Chris Alsop bridges and saddles.
Thoroughly recommend 5 stars.

Prompt delivery for quality product.
Prompt delivery for quality product.
Only slight criticism was that after placing my order I didn't get any acknowledgement of it so wasn't sure if my order had been received.
No real problem as item arrived within the specified time.

HI Gillian, Thank you for your review. Sorry that you didn't receive the order confirmation - we did have some problems with emails from the website that are now (hopefully!) resolved. Many thanks for your order. Kind Regards, Sharon Alsop
