Unmatched Customer Service and Warranty As with each time I've had the opportunity to challenge StewMac with a complicated situation, they blew me away with their customer service and product warranty. As always, very impressed and pleased with the result. There was a slight hiccup with shipping, but sometimes things happen.

Excellent quality tools… Stewmac makes awesome tools for building guitars. The only suggestion I have is PRINTING a catalog with a telephone number for people like me who hate the internet. I am not the only person who has requested a printed catalog. It is beyond annoying that I have to order over the internet. If there ever is a guitar tool and parts supplier that will sell me stuff over the phone, I will take my business there. Stewmac does a great job, however guitar building existed long before stupid computers.

StewMac is reliable StewMac is reliable when it comes to my guitar repair and luthier supplies and tools needs. Much of what they carry cannot be found elsewhere. They are prompt in filling orders and getting them shipped.

As an amateur who only builds one… As an amateur who only builds one guitar at a time (and slowly at that) I often place multiple small orders in the course of a month or two. The service I receive, especially the free shipping as a StewMac member, is outstanding and greatly appreciated.

FIRST RATE COMPANY! This is a general review of my business dealings with StewMac. I've bought a lot of tools and materials from them over the last few years (well over $5k) and have never had a bad experience with them. On the rare times there were issues on an order, they ALWAYS responded quickly and in a positive, professional manner. Their customer service personnel are knowledgeable and very friendly - it's like shopping at a home town store. I live in Alaska, but my orders arrive in VERY good time and are well packed. Are there cheaper places to shop? I'm sure there are for some things, but overall, the quality product, free shipping for members, and helpful, competent staff outweigh the differences. The other big plus to doing business with StewMac is the reference material available, from the tool instruction articles to Shop Tips and Dan Erlewine's informative, fun videos. A great customer experience all around!
