Thank you again, June 12, 2007 Michael Received my guitar yesterday and had a long play last night. The quality is excellent and the neck is exceptional. I am really impressed with the neck finishing. You can tell a lot of care and time went in to it. Also, I am really pleased with the cherry sunburst finish. Glad I opted to go for the, less obvious, route and buy direct from you guys. Now I have a guitar which, in the U.K. at least, is special (and it has my name on it too). Everyone has a PRS these days. I have a hand-built guitar and the experience of having a hand in the specification is great. I also like the case. It really complements the guitar. Great job and thanks for the service and managing to make my guitar early. Long live Wayne Guitars!!! Wayne Jones Global Customer Demand Manager Global Customer Demand Planning Fairchild Semiconductor May 20, 2007 Hi Michael!, I got the guitar last friday and have been playing it ever since! I love the finish on this thing, I have never seen anything so smooth and shiny! It's like you took my vision and made it a reality. The neck is perfect, wide and smooth with nice frets and killer birdseye. It's just what I expected and more. Anyway, thanks for being so helpful and friendly on the phone. After talking with you about the project I feel like i've known you for years. It's a pleasure doing business with a real artist who knows his stuff instead of a large faceless corporation. Say hi to your dad for me and thanks for the excellent craftsmanship! I will be in contact soon to talk about my next project with you guys. Rock on!, Brett Phillips--San Diego, CA January 25, 2007 Mike and Wayne, I can't thank you enough for my last addition to my collection (my sixth), as I expected it was better than the last--you guys just keep getting better. As a very picky, discriminating, particular player about the guitars I play, you guys have been my ONLY choice in guitars since I ordered my first one in 1999. I have ordered custom Charvel Jacksons throughout the years (starting in 1984) and other domestic as well as international guitar builders, and you guys build the best playing, feeling and sounding guitars I've found--and trust me it has been a long, difficult, EXPENSIVE quest. But your guitars are my holy grail. As long as you continue on, and I am in need of a guitar, I will only purchase from you. Your quality and service have earned you a life-long customer and friend. Continued success and thanks again! Paul C. Wrzesinske--Mesa AZ January 24, 2007 Hey Mike- Got the guitar-a great job as usual. I'll just enjoy it until I get another creative spark for the next one. Thanks again for everything!!! PAUL WRZESINSKE January 10, 2007 Pretty Sweet Michael! Really a great instrument. The neck is super fast and the paint is .... like you said "stunning". The tone is just what I was looking for and expected. I am really thrilled with it. I will have to play some hookie from work for a few days and play her. I am really glad I pulled the trigger. Good Luck, Great Job. Bob Spatafore December 30, 2006 Hi Michael Guitar arrived, looks and plays GREAT!!! This is one of the best setups I've ever saw. Thanx a lot and be sure I'll be buying some more from you! Happy holidays :) Stay safe Alex October 16, 2006 First of all - thanks for putting up with my harassment since you told me that my axe was ready early. To say I was like a kid before Christmas would have been a serious understatement. As someone who has a serious collection of nice instruments it surprises me to say that my star is now the sickest axe in the house. Plain and simple. The paint is un-fu**ing-believable. And the guitar plays like nothing else will ever touch it. I can't begin to thank you guys. My only wish is that I had my hands on a Wayne before i spent the tons that i did on a few of my other guitars. I look forward to shaking your hand - and maybe meeting Wayne too one of these days. Being the hero of mine that he is. You'll be hearing from me just as soon as i save enough to place my next order. Enough typing - I'm gonna go and play the shit out of that guitar. Thanks again - Torre October 14, 2006 HI MICHAEL I’M VERY HAPPY WITH THE GUITAR IS AMAZING JUST I WAS LOOKING FOR I NEVER HAD SEEN A FINISH LIKE THIS. IT’S A SHOCK OPEN THE HARD CASE INCREDIBLE THANK’S AGAIN I LOVE YOUR WORK THANK’S AMIGO BESITOS FROM SPAIN I LOVE THIS HEADSTOCK ALEX October 14, 2006 MICHAEL- I don't know where to begin..... I've owned EVERYTHING, and I'm not talking about any mass produced gear.. I've had TYLER, TOM ANDERSON, SUHR, NIK HUBER, VIGIER, and CUSTOM SHOP pick a BRAND... THIS GUITAR IS A PHENOM!!! IT HAS THE SINGLE BEST FEELING NECK I'VE EVER FELT... BUT.. THE FIT AND FINISH ARE JUST COMPLIMENTS TO THE TONE!!!! THIS GUITAR WAS BUILT FOR ROCK...and IT DOESN'T JUST PERFORM UP TO EXPECTATIONS...IT BLASTS THROUGH TO A NEW DIMENSION!! It feels solid as a rock and the harmonics SCREAM OFF THE BOARD.... This thing was meant to look like a MEAN TONE MACHINE.... oil finished/ direct mounted pups....OH MAN!! AWESOME!!! Playing since the 80's and wish I could rewind and have this in my hands... WELL DONE!!! AND I WILL BE BACK!!! Chris October 2, 2006 Hi Michael I've received the guitar on Friday I don't know the words in english for describe this guitar but in french ,we said:"it's an atomic bomb" (the neck,the painting ..................AARRGGHH) Thanks for your work to tour father and you continue as long as possible With a friend we say :Electric guitar is American as a watch is Swiss Thanks for all Have a good day Philippe September 11, 2006 Hey Wayne, and everyone involved, Just thought I would drop an email and say Awesome job. The guitars that Brian is using on the David Lee Roth run are the best ones I have ever worked with ever in my 20+ years doing tech work. They never give any kind of hassle. Very easy to work with. They both sound great, awesome tone, and the feel is just incredible. Keep it up. Hope to meet you guys one day. Cheers, Raymie Kopels D.L.R. Group Stage Left Git. Tech August 6, 2006 I would like to start by thanking you for your presence at the marin guitar show. It was truely a pleasure to be able to play one of the new Waynes. That was one of those guitars that I knew I couldn't live without from the second I had my hands on it. I cant believe how amazing those necks are. But why wouldnt they be if they're being built by the man himself. You guys do stunning work. And it was cool to meet you Michael. Do all of us players a favor - keep making the sickest axes out there. Thanks - Torre June 5, 2006 Michael... The guitar you made me is righteous. I love it. Thank you. I will send some pics of Metal Skool at the Key club Hollywood soon You Rule! Russ Parrish (The Atomic Punks / Metal Skool) June 13, 2005 Hello again Michael
Well I must say that the guitar you made just gets better the more I play it, more than a little impressed thanks once again. Can you tell me what kind of oil you use on the wood and should I coat the guitar in it once in a while?
I Just thought I would drop you a quick note to say that I shall be in your area next Thursday and if its ok would like to come a see you guys and your store?
Hopefully see you next week.
Regards

It's very beautiful but ,most important,it plays great and the feel under
my hands is SILK (what a neck!!!).After a little set up(I made also the
modification of direct mounting the JB pick up directly screwed into the
body) I started playing and I can't stop.....the sounds are excellent
and also the playin' test at high volume(with a VHT amp) with the band
reveals that this is a great guitar.....THANK YOU all for your incredible
work and keep on makin'wonderful guitars (maybe this will not remain my
single Wayne guitar). Sat, 1 Nov 2003 Hi Michael, Mon, 21 Jul 2003 hello michael, Wed, 11 June 2003 Hi Michael, Tue, 10 June 2003 Michael, Thur, 24 April 2003 Customer Comments/Questions, Jeff McBrien Thur, 3 April 2003 Dear Michael, I purchased one of your swamp ash monsters last week and went back to the Zoo for an amplifier this week. I am particularly happy with the warm tone the guitar produces and how well it plays (even though it's brand new, it feels like an old friend). As you know, I have been searching for that elusive Eddie Van Halen "brown sound" for years, and with your guidance and Tommy's kind assistance I am a whole lot closer! - Best Regards, Scott Garrison Wayne & Michael, I spoke to Michael on the phone about the #01 unfinished Mahogany Body & Rose Wood Neck around New Years. I was originally looking for a Warren De'Martini French Writing or an Eddie Van Halen Black w/ yellow striped model, but Michael told me if I was interested in a really great sounding guitar, instead of dropping a load on graphics, then this unfinished mahogany guitar was definitely one to check out. I ordered it. It arrived at my house on 2/1/02. I've been playing this guitar through a Bogner Shiva combo. Well, Michael is a good man. We must like the same sounds because this guitar is truly a gem. Anyway, thanks for the honesty and for being so courteous when I've called. - Very truly yours, Jason Dickerson Hi Michael, God Bless you and thanks for taking time to talk to me. You guys are the best. I hope you don't compromise yourselves so I don't have to talk to a machine. Ha ha ha. Say hi to your father even if he doesn't know me. I know of him and it's a great pleasure. I hope the next time we talk it's because I bought another guitar!! Long live Wayne Guitars!! Amen!! - Thanks, Edgar Foniti Yesterday I recieved my Wayne Rock Legend (Blue Flames on Grey) ...... I can not believe this thing is mine!!! I have never played, seen, heard or experienced anything like this guitar... It has every quality and then some from what I was expecting. The attention at the studio towards it has been so positive that i have two musicians ready to order... I look forward to bringing it over to Europe for a few weeks and showing it off. I 'll be ordering another in the months to come .... Bravo Guys!!!! - John G. Vlahakis Hi Wayne, I wanted to thank you for giving me a such an unbelievable instrument. Until I plugged that guitar in at home I wouldn't have anticipated it sounding so rich tonally . It truly is amazing, and an amazing work of art. I'm stupified by the craftsmanship and all of the unique design features. I really wish my dad was still alive to see it. He was a machinist for over 50 years and I know he would have been completely impressed with the quality of the design and machine work. (Dad was also an inventor and had several patents over the years) You truly are a master craftsman and an artist. I will try to be a worthy caretaker of this and the other wonderful instruments you have built for me. Thanks again for everything. - Your friend, Jim Knaver |
