My Stratocaster plays great that you did on Friday, its like a brand new guitar, but only better! – Roger

Hi Andrew, I have Just tried the bass out, it sounds and feels amazing. Thanks alot. Nathan.

What a difference Andrew, it is like a different guitar 😊!!
Thanks very much for your quick response and your craftsmanship 👍
Best regards, Jeff

Thanks Andrew. The difference in playability is huge!

Hi Andrew, Just to say thanks for all the work recently on the two guitars
The Hohner looks great feels great and plays great and the pickups were a good choice
Also the Strat feels so much better
Thanks again catch up soon
Cheers Jeff

Andrew has consistently come up with the goods, despite my most unreasonable requests, and he is always a pleasure to talk to,
I haven’t yet brought him anything with less than ten strings, and some really cheap, dodgy, gimmicky trash at that, but he has turned them into really nice guitars and made my sound!
AxeKool are my go to; 5 stars every time! Simon

Thanks for sorting out the Ricky wiring – sounds pretty amazing! Guy.

First class service for setting my guitar
Quick response easy to find and turn around within 24 hours
Would thoroughly recommend

Hi Andrew, Yet again, a cracking job with the guitar.
The Les Paul is playing so much better – difficult to put in words but a better feel, bends are easier etc, neck feels smoother, thank you Dave.

Hi Andrew, Just to say thanks, great job on the Telecaster. It looks better than ever now and plays beautifully.
And thanks again for your honest help and advice. See you again. Mike

Hi Andrew. Just wanted to say thanks for the fast work. All the guitars are running beautifully.
The Brook, in particular. Thanks. Mike

Thanks for the setup, feels like a new instrument and far better to play now. Alan

Have just had my first hours practice after the string change and set up.
The Guitar feels great, plays easier and sounds good. I didn’t realise it would make such a difference. Thank you

Andrew, the guitar sounds and feels absolutely fantastic. Brilliant job. Thank you, David

Hi Andrew, just wanted to say thanks for sorting the Taylor, it’s mint

Quick note to thank you for setting up my Epiphone bass, very professional job done. Cheers

Strat sounds amazing so much better thanks!

Once again AxeKool guitars have turned what was a cheap Stratocaster copy into an all out brutal metal machine with stunning upgrades!

Probably the best guitar technician in the world, ever. Always a pleasure. 10/10 recommended. Simon Godwin

ABSOLUTELY STUNNING..even makes my Hotel California ..sound good..lol
The pickup separation is unbelievable!
Thank you so much, Regards, Tim

Hi Andrew, Just wanted to let you know that I just finished playing through my cover band’s current set list with the Sire P5, and this thing seriously rocks. With the Aguilars, the upgraded tone pot and just a touch of Ampeg-style dirt, it sounds and plays exactly like the bass I wanted, whether I’m looking for modern indie tone or emulating an upright. Even with new strings on, the tuning is much more precise, and the action feels completely natural, which is especially appreciated on the lower frets of the E and A strings. The low B string is as good as I’ve played on a 34″ scale instrument and, especially when fretted to D, Db or E, it just smashes through the mix. I can’t wait for the opportunity to run this through an amp full out — I’m betting that, at gig volume, this thing will own the stage!Thank you very much indeed, sir. You are a craftsman. Best regards, Michael.

Hey Andrew, Thanks for doing the Jackson guitar for me it sounds better and plays better the strings are great – Thanks Simon

Well that Martin is playing beautifully, Nice one – thanks for your work – Al

The guitar is a dream to play – thanks so much! Tom

Many thanks for sorting my SG out, that is a huge improvement! It’s sounding good and is much nicer to play, like you said it’s a different guitar. It was starting to do my head in a bit so I’m really glad to get that sorted. Matt

What can i say, Great service, Half the price and a friendly guy, thanks again, Steve

Great job on the SG, it sounds and plays great, exactly what I was after! James

Many thanks for doing the Les Paul. Plays beautifully! And standing back it looks good as well. Great job! Dave
————————————–
I just wanted to say how thrilled my son was with the refurbished Les Paul. 
I was getting quite attached to it but it was all worth it just to see his face!!
Great job and thanks again. Dave

Hey Andrew. Thanks for your help with the Lag. My daughter is well happy.

Hi Andrew, just to say how pleased I am with my Guitar. Such a difference thanks. Regards Keith

Thanks for the guitar set-up. It’s certainly easier to play and kinder to my fingers as I don’t have to press so hard. Allen

Hi Andrew, Guitar was fab last night. Sounded amazing and played beautifully.
Thanks so much, Simon.

Andrew, you should add magician to your CV. Both Taylor and Les Paul sound and feel Fantastic (player considered!) Awesome job. David

Hi Andrew, both guitars play really well. Great job! Thanks Graham

Amazing set up and wizardry mate. Sounds incredible now. Thanks again.

Hi Andrew, both guitars play really well. Great job! Thanks Graham

“New Axekool Wiring Harness”
Wow – what a difference!, Really can’t believe how much better it is. Transformed the guitar from good to great, And does justice to the pickups. You’re a genius, I’ll be back for more.
Thanks again, David

Hi Andrew,
Both guitars are playing fantastically so I know what I am doing for the rest of the day!
Cheers Neil.

Andrew took on my Washburn electro-acoustic and has made it truly sing!
He has clearly spent a lot of time and care ensuring it plays beautifully, so I’m now able to really enhance the singing assemblies I play
(not to mention the joy I’ll get playing it at home!)
Would highly recommend his services and expertise.
Thanks again Andrew!
Tom

Pick up upgrades, tremelo and rewiring
Just gave the Ibanez a test drive…..OMG, absolute MONSTER.
Really nice phat tone and super sleek!!
Thanks again mate, you’re a certified GENIUS!! 💥💥💥

There isn’t anything this man can’t do.
I will always use AxeKool guitars because basically, they’re the BEST.
Stunning work as always.
Great service, period! 10/10. Simon Godwin

Thank you for fixing my Telecaster. It plays perfectly now and sounds amazing.
Really pleased with the results. Great service, would definitely recommend. Alfie

Andrew did a really amazing job on my Faith Venus!
Lowered the action to the perfect level and perfected the intonation!
Cannot recommend enough! George

Thank you for a great job on my Stratocaster, it plays beautifully.

Just wanted to say thanks for such an awesome job on the Vintage.
Picked it up last night and it plays so much better and brighter.
Even with my “beginners style” strumming my wife commented on the brighter tone 🤣.
Will definitely be recommending you 🤟🤟🤟 Dan.

Great to meet you this weekend.
Just wanted to say how pleased I am with how the guitar is playing after a day in your hands!
Thanks so much for your help
Chris

Hi Andrew. I forgot to thank you for the work you’ve done on my Squire Jaguar.
It plays beautifully and is my go-to guitar now. Thanks again – you are a master! Mike.

Axekool took the job on and left my guitar playing even better than before the accident – thank you so much, CM.

Would just like to say a big thank you for restoring my old Fender Squire Stratocaster. Guitar sounds a hell of a lot better, looks great.
Anyway thanks for your efforts and great work Andrew, much appreciated. Jay

Hi Andrew, had my first lesson on the guitar yesterday and played for nearly an hour on it and it feels so much better.
It’s like a new guitar and I just wanted to say thank you very much as I feel even more inspired to play it now.  Mat

Thanks to Andrew’s and expertise, my guitars have been setup up correctly and are a pleasure to play. Jane

Hi, I just picked up my Fender Telecaster after a tune up and just to let you know it now plays as beautifully as it looks!
Many thanks Tony

Just a quick note to say thanks to Andrew at Axekool for helping me to sell my old Gretsch Anniversary. cheers Mick

Thank you so much. I broke a mates guitar and needed it sorting ASAP before he returns from his holiday, lol. Kind regards, Steve

I wanted to say thank you again for the fantastic service that I received when you worked on my Yamaha Pacifica. Couldn’t have been dealt with better in every way and was absolutely delighted with the work that was carried out. Guitar sounds great 🙂

My 19 year old son wanted new pickups and the action setting up on his guitar for his birthday. I handed it to Andrew at axekool guitars and he sorted everything out for me. Very impressive service, thankyou, Debs

Thank you Andrew for fixing my Fender Bass Guitar, Nothing more annoying than a buzzing Nut – cheers M.K.

Take it from me, if you respect your instrument, doesn’t matter what state it’s in, take it to Andrew at Axekool and he will transform it! Sammy

A massive thanks to Andrew at axekool guitars for fixing my Les Paul, its back to its old self and sounding great, thanks again Graeme

The soul of my strat is well restored, thanks Andrew! Cheers Jeremy

We wanted to thank you for your excellent work on our guitars. Sophie loves her wee Baby Les Paul now and it plays real easy.
The Jackson feels and sounds fantastic, the “nut job” so to speak is perfect! Thank you for doing another terrific job. Ian

Just wanted to say a huge thanks for the outstanding set up you did on my Mexican Telecaster. When I dropped it off it sounded lovely but was a horror to play and now, after your attention, it still sounds the same but plays like a dream. Lee

In my estimates, by far the best priced and top quality guitar workshop in Gloucestershire! Cheers again, Mark

I was recommended to Axekool Guitars through word of mouth. Andrew has now repaired and set up all of my guitars (and most of my guitarist friends too) Chris

I thought fixing a bridge pick-up to my old Martin guitar was going to be very expensive and and a little scary as it is an old one, but Andrew sorted all out and did a very professional job at a very low price and it sounds fab as i can now plug it into my Amp. thank you so much, Chris T

Andrew at axekool guitars worked on my Gibson Les Paul and my Fender Stratocaster, I can not sing enough praise for his luthier skills. I whole heartily recommend his guitar services. He is very knowledgeable with his guitar skills as he is with his people skills,
