Customer Feedback!

Technical perfect, both pu's are giving perfect sound, volume pots seems not to kill frequencies, and for my poor experiences, it seems to have more output than my tellies before.

The most important thing I hoped to get (and got) is the typical sound of a Telecaster. I am not talking about sh..-twang. I don't like to hear or read all this 'tele-twang'-goobledygook.

What I mean is a soothing, warm sound coming out of the instrument. It's that sound, that makes me able, to hear a Telecaster in several songs of several artists.

I'm sure that the work with all the special chosen wood, matched electric parts and following all the spec's of building a telecaster from the 60's, leads to this result.

I haven't had this sound at my '78' and '91' original standard Telecasters.

I'm sorry to tell you, that I won't have to buy a guitar any more, because now I've got what I was searching for. This guitar is great and I am really proud to own it.

My opinion is, that you, Tony, build better guitars than the company who invented them!

Thanks so much, best regards from southern Germany.

They were well worth the wait, and you can see the effort that goes into building them. I'm just amazed at the scratches dings that have all been replicated.

I can't thank you enough for building them, and if anyone ever asks for a Quo copy I know who I will send them too!

Thanks again Tony. Keep up the good work and hope you are all sorted after your hospital stay.

Many thanks from a well satisfied customer.
Yours AL.

Once again thank you for all your hard work,

Gordon

Have had the Rossi Tele for some 6 months now and am still as thrilled with it as when I first set eyes on the beauty in your lounge all those months ago! I said at the time that I would be saving for a hand built Parfitt relic and I'm glad to say the time has come to place an order if that's okay with you.

Please could you let me know if you can make me one and how much deposit you want and I will put a cheque in the post. best regards Mark

The 'Rossi' Tele arrived safe and sound at 11am Monday the 20th of October.

Even though I had never seen any of your work. I drew enough confidence from the content of your website to order a custom Rossi replica and part with all the money, item unseen or heard.

I watched the progress through the photos on the site and I had every confidence the end product would be a class instrument. I was not really prepared for the reality…..

I opened the case and was taken aback by the appearance of the instrument. The finish and colouring of the neck and the body are nothing short of stunning! I must have sat looking at it for ten minutes admiring the wood grain through the finish and marvelling at your attention to detail before daring to actually place my unworthy paws on it!

The feel of the neck is second to none and the set up is perfect. I plugged it into the amp and the sound is fabulous. I own the Fender signature version of this guitar – fitted with the lace sensors – and have no complaints about it, but your creation is superior in every respect. The notes seem bright and clear whilst the natural sustain is more akin to a Gibson than an off the shelf Fender.

I cannot thank you enough for making this instrument for me. I hope you are as proud of your work as I will be to own it. The name on the headstock will draw comment and you must rest assured I will take pleasure in telling them of the craftsman who is Tony Rockett.

I hope we meet sometime. Keep putting the ‘Bogus’ dates on the site and if I can make it, I’ll drop in and see you.

You really are a legend in the making. All you need is a review in one of the mainstream mags. (Make sure you bump the prices up first though!)

Thanks again and best wishes for everything you do in the future.

Hi Tony,

Just wanted to let you know that the guitar arrived safely on Tuesday afternoon. All intact and no delivery problems in the end (when they eventually found my house). It looks absolutely fantastic and the finish is superb. Now, my guitar playing is currently not that good, however I have a couple of friends who are very accomplished guitarists, and Fender users themselves. They were eager to try it out and both gave it a big thumbs up. “Fantastic set up” was the general opinion. Everyone has also remarked highly on the build and finish. “A piece of pure art” was one comment. So, a very big thank you Tony. Even when not being played, I feel that I am now the proud owner of an iconic part of my own 34 years (so far) of following Quo. Keep up the superb work!

Many thanks again,

Dave

Hi Tony from Kevin.

Guitar is a beauty mate, as soon as I opened the case I know the build quality and finish is exceptional.

The sound is fantastic, I am only a novice but I can tell by just strapping it on I have the real thing. I am chuffed to bits.

Keep the good work up!
Best wishes Kevin.

I apologise for the delay in contacting you since I took delivery of the guitar but I have been extremely busy at work including a lot of overseas visits.

However I am pleased to say that I am now back home and having the time to acquaint myself with the lovely guitar that you have built for me.

Everyone who has seen the guitar comment without exception on the quality of the instrument and in particular the exceptional finish of the body made even better by the grain of the swamp ash. The neck is exactly the way I requested you to make it and feels really comfortable to play.

The sound of the guitar is also awesome whether it is played on a clean, blues or crunch channel with a nice level of natural sustain adding to the quality of the sound.

The bottom line is that I am absolutely chuffed to bits with this guitar and just wanted to thank you for the time and effort that you have obviously expended during the manufacturing process.

Keep up the good work and I am sure that you will have many more satisfied customers.

Best Regards,

Bob

After only telling you in my last mail, that I had just received the guitar, I now have the time to write you a few lines, hoping that my English is good enough and understandable...

I've received the Tele on Tuesday in perfect condition (I only had to lift the strings a little bit.) and I want to say thank you so much.

I played with my band that evening and after about an hour, I was asked if I could finally stop grinning like a Cheshire cat...

The guitar looks absolutely amazing, it has all the features of the original guitar and I think I really fell in love with that neck from the very first moment on I had my hands on it.

I really like the sound of this guitar, which is quite unique - a bit of a Tele, a bit of a Strat - as special as the guitar itself and I also like the guitar case as the icing on the cake.

I remember when I discovered your internet site ( which must now be more than one year ago ), the first mails and that letter which I wrote you by 'snail mail'.

I remember the doubts I think both of us had and I'm really happy that we could get through this and solve all the problems so this beautiful guitar now stands next to me.

So, thank you for your belief, thanks for building this Tele for me and thanks for the Christmas-card, too.

I wish you also merry Christmas and a happy New Year, personally and for your guitar business. I will keep on looking at your site from time to time, now as another satisfied customer
 

Very best regards,
Michael
