Beautiful harness and excellent…

Beautiful harness and excellent customer service. The harness was excellent and instructions were great, despite that I managed to goof on one connection. James was incredibly patient in helping me find my mistake.

Great quality products

Great quality products, just an absolute market leader when it comes to knowledge. Appreciate the sticker and the nice touch with the personalised message on the business card. Absolutely would buy from James again.

A store that understands good service.

I’ve used James Home of Tone a few times for guitar parts when building guitars, and always found him knowledgeable, helpful, and willing to go that extra step. He’s advised me on parts for my builds and the parts he sells are good quality and reasonably priced. I can’t ask for more than that. Will definitely be shopping there again soon.

Great customer service and product

Great product and great customer service when Royal Mail let both Home Of Tone and myself down with late delivery. James was most gracious in refunding carriage and a sum in compensation, I hope he got redress from Royal Mail in respect of their appalling service.

Fantastic service !!

Fantastic service !!! ☆☆☆☆☆
James is a genuinely nice guy: extremely helpful and very knowledgeable - he was generous with his time and expertise, speaking to me on a number of occasions to ensure that my build was absolutely right for my requirements.
I would absolutely recommend his services !!!
Many thanks.

High effort customer service

I bought 4 screws for my jazzmaster build.

I actually feel bad how much effort JHOT put into shipping them.

They came straight away, protected wrapped neatly in a branded paper bag, with sticker, personalised hand signed thank you business card and invoice.

4 screws. I think the order was only a couple of quid.

Nice brand btw. The sticker is going on the stickerbomb toolbox in the garage - I will return for future builds, the pricing was reasonable and the screws seem to be decent quality.

A model of how a UK independent…

A model of how a UK independent business *should* be run! Excellence in everything but Customer Service ! Oh my word you, have to experience it to believe it!
In 30 years of business this is still the standard all others should be judged by - well done !!!
