"Hi David, Just wanted to say thanks for another great fret job and that I really appreciate it that you managed to fit me in before I leave the area - particularly as you have had personal issues to deal with recently. I can't believe I've been round the corner from you all these years and didn't know you were there. I've had work done by a few well known shops that do repairs which have been less than satisfactory and a refret on a Les Paul I used to own which was a total disaster as the muppet who did the work decided that whilst he was cleaning up the finger board , he would give it a 9 inch radius! . Luckily it was only a ' cheap ' one - unlike the two Custom Shops you did for me. Many Thanks"
"Dear David, I wanted to thank you for for the care and attention you put into my Westone Session II archtop. It really is lovely under the fingers and the adjustment to the pickups produce a warm jazz sound that I love. Kevin"
"On a professional note I would just like to say an enormous thank you for your skill and craftsmanship, both of which are of the highest order. My Les Paul sounds amazing, looks fantastic and I can't see the original break at all. The setup you have done, the care and attention to the smallest detail and the explanation of all that you have done is greatly appreciated and I can safely say I now have a new favourite guitar. If I were to ever need the services again of a luthier I would not hesitate for a second to get in touch. Thank you again and all the very best. Mark"
"Great service. I have a Taylor acoustic that I've lived with a high action for a year. Had a fresh setup and it plays beautifully. Also took a new Fender Telecaster with a buzz that David sorted and it's a dream to play. David is also a lovely guy. He doesn't talk down to you (I'm not a great guitarist and not amazingly knowledgeable) and explains what he will plan to do. Transparent on pricing and won't swindle you. You get the feeling that he genuinely cares that a guitarist should have a guitar that plays well no matter what you've bought. Would highly recommend."
"A very big thank you to David Kennett who's name should be Midus , he's just returned my guitar to me after I carelessly broke it .He's done a fantastic job after I broke the neck on my Gibson les paul , I travelled from Derbyshire to his home in Surrey. Thanks again David"
