As always perfect service from James
As always perfect service from James. Great comms and service. Any lefty guitar player needs to have James Home of Tone on their radar.

Outstanding workmanship
James has great customer service and obviously takes pride in what he does. I ordered a Jazzmaster wiring harness and, I swear, the guitar sounds so much better for it.
I highly recommend James’ Home of Tone!

Incredible service
Cannot fault James and the Home of Tone. Every time I've been to HoT for anything, the service has been impeccable and it's brilliant to be able to work with and seek support from someone as knowledgeable and experienced as James. I can't recommend him and his services enough.

From the initial email inquiry through to the online purchase of the wiring harness I wanted everything was fantastic!
James advised me on what he thought I needed to get the tone I wanted from my bass.
Put it together and sent it to me.
All in good time without any hassle.
It sounds fantastic!
AND! the packaging was what you would receive a high end piece of jewellery in.
Thank you James for being decent and professional.
Respect

Great guitars made even better
I've now done two projects using James' kit - new pots and cap for a Harley Benton, and a pre-wired loom transforming a Baja Tele - and both have been fantastic experiences. Immaculate customer service. High quality products, beautifully prepared and packaged. Super-helpful schematics and advice. And both guitars have been transformed for the better. The Tele sounds absolutely epic, like a new guitar. All for less than the price of a pedal. I can't recommend James and his pre-wired looms highly enough.

Quality Product
I ordered the pre-wired bronco bass wiring harness with the McNelly pickup and a wonderful set of blue acrylic control knobs. Everything arrived exactly as ordered, and the installation went smoothly thanks to the provided guides. I'm very happy with my purchase!

James is a wizard
James is a wizard.
He transformed my tele into something truly inspiring to play and to look at. The fact that he is such a lovely man made the experience of entrusting ‘project tele’ to him all the easier to do.
Saying he knows his stuff is a bit like saying water is moist. You can absolutely rely on his advice and trust that he will do a brilliant job.
Thanks again James!

Excellent products!
James has a lot of great products on his site. Very fast delivery. Great quality products, great quality packaging, and you always get a little personalised thank you card with your order. Just by chance that I came across his website. Very glad that I did.
