100% recommended. Very professional workmanship. Jeremy at Garland Guitars offered good advice and completed a refret and rebuild of my ageing Fender Strat. It now looks, plays and sounds fantastic, its superb. Excellent service in all respects.

Can't recommend Jeremy highly enough. He first worked on my guitars many years ago in his time at Mansons, and I am delighted to have reacquainted and to see him doing wonderful things with his new company Garland Guitars. He has just transformed both my No 1 Strat and my beloved Les Paul custom, which are both now playing better then they have ever done. Many Many Thanks, and I'll keep coming back

Jeremy can be relied upon to do a thorough professional job at a reasonable price. Over the last few months, Jeremy has brought several guitars back to life for me, after a long period of 'resting'.I have been delighted with the results in each case, be it electric or acoustic. He is also careful to advise on the viability of spending out when it might prove better to buy a new instrument. I have no hesitation in recommending his work.

I have just started playing the guitar again after a break of twenty years plus. After buying a guitar online that was almost unplayable due to intonation issues, I contacted jeremy for a full setup.I was astonished at the amount of work he did for the price I paid.It looks a sounds brand new.He did an amazing job that makes me want to pick it up and play it. Thank you very much.

Having found Garland Guitars with a Google search, I phoned Jeremy to arrange to have my guitar serviced. A reasonable ish Fender acoustic /electric that I?d picked up on marketplace 2 years ago that had never played in tune without a capo on the 2nd fret.Jeremy was absolutely brilliant from the moment he picked up the phone?. professional, knowledgeable and easy to talk to. I dropped the guitar off at a pre arranged time, I had a chance to talk to him in his workshop about what would be included in the service and his enthusiasm and expertise was really reassuring. With decades of experience working with guitars it would have been easy for him to baffle me with technical jargon or be patronising but this was not the case, he?s an absolute gent! I picked my guitar up today and I?ve not put it down all afternoon because it just sounds incredible after 2 years of having to play with a capo to keep it in tune.Great job, very fairly priced for such an outstanding level of service. Will not be taking my guitars anywhere else in future.

My fiesta red 63 strat just plays insanely well after refret. I mean it was nice to play before but now.. jeez... Perfectly rolled edges, intonation is spot on and it rings like a bell with hardly any buzzes. Which considering the life it?s led is insane. Fine work.

I'm really impressed with Jeremy's work and can recommend him highly. He's friendly and professional, and takes the time to consider exactly what's needed for that particular instrument. Many thanks from a happy customer.

GUITAR 1 - ST68-185YMI have owned many guitars over 30 years and have had various guitar techs via shops do work on them but never knowing who worked on my guitar or being able to talk about my instrument and what result I wanted? It was always get you ticket wait in the queue and hope for the best? Finally after being discontented I was kindly introduced to Jeremy via another luthier and what a breath of fresh air he is? Aside from being a complete gent and a thoroughly nice guy, Jeremy REALLY listens to you not only about your requirements but I feel completely at ease that the result will be spot on? Jeremy completely understands how personal instruments are, after all they reflect who we are expressed through music? Jeremy has an amazing home grown approach to his business and was delighted by the results of my first guitar service set up and fret re-dress? He?s turned a fine pedigree instrument into an awesome playing machine? ? Finally It?s not often in the UK we receive good service but I feel he?s turned a hidden often confusing technical art (often intimidating) into a very natural relaxed affair with his welcoming friendly manner, good sense of humour and combined that with his 30+ years of experience? Thanks JeremyGUITAR 2 - 2014 YJMYou knocked it out the park again Jeremy thank you so much I love the work you?ve done and love the guitar? On to the next one can?t wait ?Photos below?.

Jeremy is a super nice guy and an amazing and knowledgeable luthier. He repaired and adjusted the the neck on my old classical I learned to play on, which now plays superbly again! I was so happy with his work that I brought him my almost brand new Martin to adjust the action - it?s made SUCH a difference I was shocked! Wow! I can?t put either guitar down now. Thank you Jeremy! I?ll be back with my electric guitars.

I came in with a beaten up old guitar that had been feeling very sorry for itself, it was laborious to play and had several sound issues. I had stellar service from Jeremy at Garland Guitars who was more than friendly and welcoming, received the guitar back in very reasonable time with more things fixed than I'd even realised were wrong in the first place. Above and beyond the results I'd hoped for and all for a good and fair price, highly recommend.

Jeremy did a brilliant re-fret on my guitar and leveled and polished the ebony fretboard until it shone. Really brought out the full potential of the instrument, it is now a joy to play! A first class job, would thoroughly recommend.,

I just took my guitar to Garland Guitars for fret leveling and dressing, and a full setup, and was so impressed. Jeremy has many years of experience, and clearly knows his stuff. He took as long as needed to talk through what I was looking for in terms of string action height, tremolo setup etc, and showed real attention to detail in his workmanship. A really nice guy doing brilliant work. Definitely the right place to take your treasured guitar. Highly recommended!
