Hey Andy,
Karl
Hope you’re well, just finished watching your latest vid and reminded me you wanted some quick words on the steel river!
Bloody love it! Absolutely cracking piece of kit and exactly what I was after. Acoustic volume with electric playability. It sounds fantastic plugged in as well.
Mega pleased with it superbly finished and looks lovely sat next to the Money Maker!
All the best
Had cobbled together a bunch of parts to build a guitar but didn’t have the tools or knowledge to put it all together into a great guitar. Andy was great, and much faster than I had expected, and now I have a new fave Strat! Excellent service, would recommend.

Andy did amazing work re-fretting, lacquering and respraying my Strat – and went out of his way to source and fit Kluson tuners. His care and attention to detail are first-rate, and breathed new life back into a much-loved guitar. Highly recommended for the workshop and the product line – I’ll definitely be back soon!

I’ve been keeping a close eye on NCG since meeting their fine luthier at a guitar show. And falling rather hard for a Bayou. Love Barrie’s playing and very fascinated by the blue guitar with the single P90 pickup. Cool placement.
After a week of playing the Mule I have to say that you have done a fantastic job. It looks, plays and sounds superb. In fact it is so good that that I would like to buy it 😎

Andy at NCG is such a nice guy. He did an fret dress and set-up on my Les Paul and it really improved the instrument.
Andy, I just wanted to tell you what fantastic guitar my Mule is. It’s so lovely to play and feels and sounds dead right. It’s Amazing, Many Thanks,
Julian
Superb shop – unpretentious and friendly. I bought my 335, a Cornell amp, a Mayson acoustic with Marshall amp and numerous pedals from Andy, who has a wealth of knowledge and is always helpful.
Jon
I just wanted to thank you again for the fantastic job you did on my Martin guitar. It looks as good as new(ish), which given the state you received it in is no mean feat!
Richard
So thank you.
