Hey Fren,

Just wanted to let you know I had a recording session last night with the P&H (Martin Stinger) and it performed better than I could have possibly imagined. I've arleady received numerous compliments on the feel and sound of the guitar (both of which were horrible before you overhauled it). Thanks for doing such great work on it.

Best,
Danny

Fren,

MY GUITARS WORK AWESOME!!! My Fender NEVER PLAYED SO WELL! You've now made an acoustic monster outta me, I love my Ovation. Thank you soo much. I can't wait to get my "V" back!!!

Hey Fren,

Great work on the P-Bass. The gig on Sunday at the Hotel Cafe was great. I was surprised by how well I could navigate the neck. This is good news because I was in a trio situation and (Bass, Acoustic, and Piano) had to be on the ball.

Thanks again.

Matt

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I thought I would say "Great Job on My Guitars".

It is amazing what difference a good setup makes, The old Yamaha 12 was dramatically improved. It has changed from a wall hanging, to a very playable unit. The Martin OOO is working out very well too. Thanks again. You 'de man!

Dear Fren,

I want to thank you for your outstanding work on my Squier Telecaster (and my other guitars you've worked on). Your attention to detail and commitment to excellence is satisfying to see. You have a genuine feel and serious talent for this. I'm looking forward to your repairing and modifying my other guitars, some of which you haven't seen yet.

..had my lesson last night...my teacher said I sounded really good..but I was just hacking away at my same old licks.........---it was the guitar, man......I've never had a guitar play so well!........ I will recommend you to everyone I meet, dude........Thanks again.....Steve

Fren, you did a great job refretting and setting up my old 335! Also some great cosmetic work.
Thanks!!

David

Hey Fren-

Just wanted to say thanks a ton. Seriously man, it's like a new guitar. The sustain boost from securing the bridge and probably from the nut work you did is really surprising. I wouldn't have thought a tremolo bridge was even capable of imparting THAT much resonance to the body and the neck, you can FEEL the guitar resonating. The frets feel awesome, funny though because I was so used to the flat top on the 17th fret (and using that as a position cue!) I've gotta pay a little more attention for the time being than normal.

Again, thanks for your excellent work... I'll be getting in touch with you soon about another guitar in the next couple weeks.

Best,

Sean

Hey Fren,

I just wanted to thank you again for the re-fret on my Strat. I spent a couple of hours playing it last night and it plays beautifully – you really did a great job. Even my wife commented on how beautifully the finish was applied to the fret board. Just perfect.

Thanks again.

John

…Modified Warmoth Strat.

I can report that the Frenster Warmoth is now my daily player, and it feels great. As you know, it was basically unplayable when I got it. Your work not only made it work, it works great. As soon as I get some time, I’ll e-mail and set a time when I can bring over my other Strat for a setup and maybe a pickup swap to something hotter.

Thanks again Fren, I appreciate your quality work…..HENCH

Hi Fren,

Just wanted to say thanks for doing such a nice job on my Taylor. When you said that you would be changing the shape of the nut, it seemed reasonable but I couldn't quite see it making much of a difference. I was very wrong indeed. Things seem very much improved in terms of overall clarity. I've been having fun with this guitar all week. I know the other guitar I've given you to work on has much more serious problems but if this is any indication of what I can expect, I can't wait!

Cheers

Kaspar

Fren, just a quick note to thank you for the great job you did on the Tele, it sounds amazing. I did want to ask you about inlay work and whether or not you do that or know someone who does. I have often thought of an inlay I would like at the fifteenth fret of my 335 (just a personal thing). Thanks again for all your help, I would like to bring in that acoustic soon that needs the 1/4" jack at the bottom of the guitar secured.........take care, Michael

Hey Fren,

I was playing the Tal Farlow you set up for me. It is sweet! You do good work.

See you later,

David
