Fret levelling Kit
Have not had a chance to use it yet but everything appears to be well made and with care. It’s going to save money, just doing one fret level the kit will more than pay for itself.
Well packaged and delivered quickly!

Superb service and craftsmanship
Superb service. I am not at all technically minded but found both the pre-ordering instructions for measurement of the required saddle size and the fitting instructions that came with the item to be simple, comprehensive and crystal clear. The saddle has been superbly crafted by Chris and is an excellent fit. One of the most committed and customer focused businesses I’ve come across. A real find and a pleasure to deal with.

Chris Alsop bespoke guitar tools
Superb website to navigate, very informative. Very quick delivery, labelling on individual items excellent. All packaging excellent. Left nothing to chance, everything with instructions and free items. Zero delivery charge. Bespoke hand made items at a very reasonable cost. Forget higher priced stuff, use these. Highly recommended. I don’t write reviews but made an exception here.

Just what was required
It is so easy to be lazy and shop on 4m4zon!
The products here are, after comparison, far superior and cheaper. Beyond box shipping, the supporting product resources & information enable you to make an informed decision, also what a joy to be able to speak with a real person, who is personally invested in their products and business.

The custom oversize saddle I bought was a perfect fit, although a slight adjustment was needed for the action I prefer. Communication was great too. I would certainly use this company again without hesitation. Thanks.
