Good, quality products - both tools and templates. Handling the order before shipping took a couple days - be mindful if you are in a hurry. The packaging makes up for that in an excellent way - tidy,... See more

I bought a string spacing ruler. It came when I expected, and it's very good quality. I like that the markings are actually holes in the metal so you can mark the nut through the ruler. And it was a b... See more

Outstanding customer care.

I needed a long radius sanding beam, to 'true up' a fretboard. I couldnt find a long one anywhere at a price i could afford. The luthier who's teaching me, recommended i check out Guitars & Woods. I did, They had what I needed, and at a great price. I'm in the UK near London, G&W are in Portugal, and its getting close the Christmas. I placed the order at 08.00 on a Tuesday and it arrived on my doorstep at 11.00 the next day, beautifully wrapped and protected in bubble wrap. Simply outstanding service and customer care. Thank you G&W... I'll be back for more. Merry Christmas.

Terrible postal and service

Though Guitars & Woods are prompt in posting goods the carrier UPS lost the package then asked me to do their paperwork to request a 10 day investigation as to how they had lost it. After many emails and phone calls the items arrived nearly a month late. G&W's website estimated 3 to 6 days. I can understand delays but not the 26 days it took with no compensation. Until they can sort a better service I cannot make any further purchases from them.
