James consistently delivers and exceeds…

James consistently delivers and exceeds in customer service and care. I placed two small but separate orders over a weekend and I fully expected the postage for both to be charged but James refunded me one without any prompting. Small things perhaps but just another example of how much care James takes.

Thank you, James.

I've had several of James’s looms for my guitars, as well as him make a number of custom items, and each one has been outstanding.
The quality is exceptional, and the attention to detail is second to none…the improvement in tone is incredible.
James is always generous with his time and advice, taking the time to understand exactly what I'm looking for and making recommendations based on his genuine expertise.
It's rare to find someone who combines this level of skill with such fantastic customer service.
Thank you, James.

Superb service

Superb service. James' detailed email and suggestions about buying a harness for my DIY guitar build were comprehensive and utterly brilliant and he is a thoroughly lovely chap to boot. Ten stars!

Highly recommend James and Home of Tone

I bought the Mcnelly pickups and solderless harness for HS telecaster. This is single most pleasant buying experience. James was amazing all throughout. Giving bespoke recommendations and guidance throughout. I don't have any experience modifying guitars, but James was fantastic and patient helping me through it. Highly recommend James and Home of Tone if you're looking to upgrade your gear or looking to start a new project.

The best harnesses you can get…

Besides the fantastic service and communication answering all my questions the harnesses I received are beyond any expectations. The quality of the components are the very best, the craftsmanship is absolutely perfect. I bought 6 harnesses from James for a tele, strats, Jazzmasters after the installation the guitars have zero hum. Single coils total silence and the tone is just perfect, beautiful.
