Giovanni Coppola ★★★★★ a month ago
Took my Marshal Amp in to get fixed, I'm not sure what he did but it sounds 100000% better! Highly recommend and most … More certainly be returning for any repairs that I need in the future.

Fantastic service, great attention to detail, and Rich turned the repair on my 5150 around in super quick time, all at a … More very competitive price..... What more can you ask for? Thanks again!

Richard made a pickup for my lp studio a few months ago and it sounds amazing. He really took the time to listen to what … More I wanted and then came up with a pickup that went beyond my expectations. I'm already thinking about getting him to do another one for me. Top guy, amazing knowledge and customer service. I strongly recommend him.

“unbeatable value” – Tonefinder PAF Style Humbuckers

I received this testimonial from a very good client of mine called Mike. He was looking for a tone he'd been unable to find elsewhere and I felt he was almost at a point of giving up. The Gibson Les Paul he brought to me was a great guitar to start with but I could certainly tell where Mike was coming from when he said that it was lacking the sound he was after.

Well, after a bit of work on my part, Mike picked up his guitar. I think it's safe to say, from his testimonial below, that he's found what he's been looking for.

“The playability is perfect” – Fender Stratocaster

Rich has recently upgraded the wiring, pickups, frets and setup of my standard Mexican Stratocaster. He also suggested some alterations and changes which might suit me, so that the whole process was specifically tailored to my requirements as a player. He has done such a good job that it stands up to any Strat I've ever played - if I bought an American Standard Strat this good I really would be delighted.

The playability is perfect. The tone that the hand wound 'Reverend' pickups that Rich made and installed have given he guitar is fantastic. The Reverends are responsive and just sparkle like single coils should, they also give tone distinction across the pickup selection range which allows for loads of versatility.

It's clear that Rich not only has a real skill for setting up a guitar and a great ear, but also has very exacting standards for what he does.

“The results far exceed my expectations” – Chris W

As a pro bassist with 28 years experience, I'm pretty comfortable with maintaining and setting up my instruments. However, just recently I've struggled to get them to play exactly how I want them. I was aware of Tonefinder and Rich is local to me, so I decided to let him loose on my number 1 bass to see what he could do.

The results far exceed my expectations and my bass now plays better than it has for a long time!! Rich explained every detail of what he had done and made sure I was completely happy with his work.

Happy would be an understatement! I'm ecstatic with the service I received and Rich was even happy to comply with my strict deadline request.

I have 6 more basses that will be getting the Tonefinder treatment as soon as possible and I look forward to a long relationship with Rich and Tonefinder.

“Fan…tabu…lous…” – Custom wound single coil pickup

Absolutely fan...tabulous.

My bands ‘engine room’ boys (bass & drums) both commented on the s-m-o-o-t-h tone tonight.

Very pleased in all depts. clean, overdriven and all selections, though middle pickup was very ‘lush’.

“I have to say….You’re an absolute genius” – Custom pickups

"I spent a number of months searching the net for a set of John Mayer signature pickups as over many years of session work, his sound was one I couldn't achieve.

I contacted Rich a few months ago with what I wanted and I left him to his work and I wasn't disappointed. The pickups themselves I can't find a single fault with. They have a very warm mid but keep the springy sound of my Fender Strat so they're perfect for what I wanted. They have an amazing clean sound but they really achieve the ultimate blues tone with a bit of gain. Rich knows what he's doing and does it well, I would recommend Tonefinder to anyone looking for the perfect tone."
