James Ready of Walkway and Chez Kane

“I’ve had a few of my guitars set up by Olley.
always done well, quickly and very reasonably priced.
he’s also great with kids guitars – I’ve put quite a few of my lessons onto olley to get their guitars sorted out properly and the job always gets sorted.”

Brad Harber

“Just had my tele set up and fixed a recurring sitar sound issue with my b and high e string. Always great service and great workmanship highly recommend Ollie to anyone for anything Guitar related!”

Phil Seamon

” I still had my first guitar from about 30 years ago but stopped playing for a few years, when I got back to playing my electric was in a poor state and was unplayable, fret buzz city, as I’d left it in a cupboard for the last 10 years. I took it to Olley and he had a look over it, he said it needed a fret dress and a set up. I’m now sitting here with it in my hands and I’m so happy to have it back and working again without fret buzz, it was never a great guitar but now it’s better then ever”

Douglas James

“I recently brought my 335 over to Olley Neale after a rather bad fail removed the headstock. He assured me it could be fixed without a hefty fee, which was music to my ears! After a week or so I collected my 335 and it plays great and I’ve had no issues since. I have and will use him again.”

Mark Thompson

Gerald Eglen

“Just had Olley put some four season vintage p bass pick ups on my Fender, they are brilliant in fact i would go so far as to say even/far better than vintage fender pick ups costing a lot more. Highly recommended and thanks Olley.”

James Duffell

“Over the past few weeks Olley has rebuilt one bass for me, assembled another from parts I’d accumulated and swapped a neck on a third bass. I’m very happy with all the work and I now have (even) more useable basses rather than unsatisfactory ones and piles of bits!”

William Croft (The Future of Music/Rammerator/Solo/Discharge Lounge)

“Olley Neale has worked on my instruments for years now, and I’ve always been highly impressed with what he’s done and recommend him highly! I’ve had a few problems that Olley has fixed including issues with wiring, trem setup and general setup foibles. The thing that really stands out is every time a guitar comes back from Olley, it looks and feels like new, cleaned inside and out, polished and ready for stage or studio”

Geoff Poole

“I attempted to remove the original nut myself, but this resulted in the nut shattering and taking a small piece of the neck with it. The job of fitting a new nut was beyond my capabilities so I took the guitar to Olley for a setup and a repair to the end of the neck. Olley kept me informed of the progress of the job and when I picked collected the guitar it was very obvious that Olley had worked on the job with a painstaking attention to detail. I’m very grateful.”

Louis Burns
“Olley did a great job on my precious Stratocaster. It came back with perfect action, new strings, the tone pot fixed and polished like new. I was kept in the loop the whole time, nice laid back chap and good contact though out. Will be putting more work Olleys way without hesitation. 5 stars!”
Nathaniel Eliott
“Great guy, Olley sorted my pickups out for me set the correct heights, fitted me in really quick as well. Seems very knowledgable about guitar setups so in future I will have no reservations about using his services. Many thanks once again.”

“A most awesome job on my Taylor 810C Olley , you’ve made this guitar so playable where is was quite irritating to have so much cash laid out on a guitar that did not satisfy , now its lush mate …cheers”
John King
“Hi Olley, just a line to say thanks for the work you did on my Cigar box guitar, playability has realy improved. Put on some new strings (D’Addario Chromes Flat Wound) and the sound is great with a soft mellow tone. Thanks John”
Christian Hubbard
“I spent about 3 hours happily thrashing it and it’s all still sounding lovely. Seriously, so many thank you’s, it’s playing nicer than when I bought it. And thank you for dealing with the strap nuts, they were starting to bug me! You’ve done a brilliant job on it”
