      Nathan Rodrigues: (2 months ago) Super happy with the work done at Howlin' Rooster!

      I bought in my Gibson LPJ because I wasn't happy with the stock parts and I figured it was time for an upgrade. After buying all the parts I wanted, I got in touch with Basil from Howlin' Rooster for a job that included changing the pickups, pots, capacitors, adding a push/pull wiring, changing the wiring to a 50s style, adding a pickguard, bone nut, bridge and a Deusenberg Les Trem.

      The 9-year-old guitar now feels new as ever - plus it sounds and feels amazing. I finally have a reason to pick up this guitar and play it. Basil's craftmanship is flawless and I would definitely recommend him for his services!

      Mickey Tanasijević: (a year ago) Basil is an expert luthier. My acoustic guitar was improperly placed on the wall mount and got very badly cracked after falling off - Basil fixed it in no time with the utmost skill and attention to detail. This expertise clearly comes from a passion in the instrument, I can't recommend him enough.

      Nimit Nilesh: (3 weeks ago) I got my fairly unusual, 5 year old Fender Modern Player Telecaster serviced for the first time. Basil replaced the worn out pickup switch, dressed the frets, and as per my request also added screw inserts to the neck. Great work on all of it! 👍
