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!

I appreciate that StewMac makes demo videos… I appreciate that StewMac makes videos in which the craftsmen speak plainly and film an understandable demo of the different processes. I received my Mighty Mite neck and although I love it I will need to smooth and dress the fret ends. I like buying tools that the pros use but after buying a cerrtain number of the tools my budget gets tight and I still have a shipload of things to do to make my raw ash body a bass so I did not buy a fret file. I'm going to try 400 grit sandpaper. If you want I'll send you a pic after I get the StewMac parts to help me apply a binding to the front edge! Be blessed but be the blessing, Andrew Jeffries

Excellent CA types Fast shipping, really good price as well! I have tested the tinted CA 20min thin (amber and Dark brown). Excellent result, will make small repairs so much easier. Refined and low out-gassing resin is also appreciated.
