Dave:  I am so pleased with my bass. It plays and sounds great. Incredible tone. Can't put it down!   Thanks!

Dave: I finally had a chance to take the SG and Teles out of the cases.  I turned on the Fender DRRI and Fulltone Plimsoul and tested them all out.  I can honestly say I felt like I had 3 new guitars.  No comparison to how they played before you got your hands on them.  I am having a blast with these and cannot wait for the weekend. Thanks for the great work!  I am blown away by the difference in all three guitars.  I loved them before, now they are just incredible and I feel so lucky to have each one.

Dave: You are a master of your craft.  Glad to have found you.  There will always be more guitars.

Hey Dave - I'm blown away by your work. These are the best playing guitars I've ever owned. The 7 way switch is going to be a 'must have' for me from now on. I grew up in Akron, Ohio and had a strat setup back then at Lay's guitar shop which, is a pretty respected shop nationally. That was the best setup I've ever had until now. I'm not a great player but I know guitars and your work is impeccable. I can't wait for the custom build. I'll be in touch in the next week or so with a deposit and and buy the custom strat in July. In August, I'd like to have you work over my old Charvel and Kramer that I mentioned. I also have an Epi Sorrento that could use some of your magic as well. Thanks!

Dave has worked on my guitars for over 20 years. I trust him. I love the way he makes them feel and sound. His knowledge of pickup tones has helped me make great guitars sound even more amazing. You know that sound in your head you have been searching for? Dave can help you find it. After I get a guitar back from Dave, I just don't want to stop playing it. Thanks Dave, you rock!

 Dave has been working on my guitars for almost 20 years! He customized my Stratocaster into a Dave Gilmore type strat but better! He sets up guitars better than anyone I have ever used. He also does my acoustic guitars, mandolin and banjo. Not much this guy can't do and his consulting on guitars is also superb. I highly recommend Dave Thomas Guitar Repair!

I  just returned home a few hours ago and have not been able to put down  my second strat that you set-up and upgraded. I can’t thank you enough  for the outstanding wok you did on both of my instruments, and I look  forward to having you provide more services in the future.
In  particular I’d like to thank you for the true attention to detail you  gave the strats. I have had many setups done over the years, and I can  truly say that yours are by far the best. Unlike earlier setups I have  had, there are no “noisy” strings in your setups, and maybe it’s because  you spend so much attention to detail – right down to ensuring the  radius of the strings and the radius of the fretboard match perfectly.
Of  course, string radius is only a small part of the setups you have done,  but it points out to me the high quality I see in all the components of  the setups.
Finally,  thanks for the recommendation to switch over to the Texas Sizzler  pickups that you stock – they have taken a lifeless guitar and moved it  from sounding like it was playing with sound that was black and white to  full technicolor with Dolby surround sound. What a difference!
Thanks  again, Dave, and I am glad I have found a super guitar tech who loves  his work and does all he can to provide superior service and guidance to  his clients.

Hi Dave

Sorry  it's taken me this long to send you the review on my guitar repairs.   But I just wanted to let yo know that the work you did on my guitar has  my Taylor playing marvelously.  We are very fortunate to have the luxury  of having you in the Richmond area.  To have someone with your  expertise, that loves what they do and takes pride in their workmanship  where you know you can leave your guitar there and have the confidence  that it will return better than when you left it is a true joy.  I'm  glad I located you again and all my guitar work will come your way from  now on.  No more messing with guitar repair shops where you don't have  confidence they will treat your guitar like it is their own.

Many thanks

Mike G.

    Dave,

Wanted  to drop you a quick note to thank you again for installing the Anthem  in my Martin and for the work you did on the saddle. Wow, wow, wow! I  have been blown away by how this guitar feels and sounds now. I don't  think I've ever in my years of playing enjoyed a guitar setup so well:  it plays like a dream. You weren't kidding when you said "he makes 'em  play like butta" on your website. I'm blown away by your work. I think  you may have converted me to Ernie Ball strings, too - I'm loving them!  I'm going to have to get my dreadnought to you for a setup at some  point, too..

Thanks again and be well,

Chris
