Reviews of Binford Luthiery

Probably the Finest Luither this side of the black stump. It's like this! Trevor "The Luither" is a Perfectionist. Highly recommended Remember not every guitar is created equal.

I have just completed a guitar build at Binford Luthiery. I chose to build a telecaster style guitar with a few modifications. Trevor was extremely supportive in my design ideas and the whole build experience was enlightening and a wonderful experience. The guitar is beautiful and sounds as good as it looks. I wholeheartedly recommend anyone considering a guitar build with Trevor to enroll and get started as soon as a window of opportunity arises. I have gained new skills and a good understanding of solid body guitar dynamics. A great experience. I now feel confident enough to try another build solo.

Trevor is truly a master of his craft. Had a setup done by him which absolutely exceeded my expectations and my guitar is now effortless to play. Simply amazing, thank you Trevor.

Trevor has just completed a custom-build short-scale[30"] bass for me. I could not find one that was suitable in terms of construction, components, and quality. It has a [mahogany/maple] laminated "through-neck", Alder body wings, Indian Rosewood fretboard, Gotoh hardware and Lindy Fralin Pickups. The tone is deep and rich, with incredible sustain. It is resonant and loud [even acoustically]. Short-scale basses are popular at the moment and some major brands don't really take them seriously , historically they had a reputation as "student instruments" , but they have a different "timbre" , a big bottom end , and fewer intrusive harmonics, which makes them great for recording as they "sit in the mix" really well. They are also a bit easier to play. Awesome result. Thanks Trevor

Trevor has been working on all my instruments and several of my students for the past 7 years. This ranges from high end instruments like Fender, Taylor, PRS and Tom Anderson all the way down to beginner instruments and everything in between. Electric, Classical, Acoustic, Ukulele as esoteric folk instruments. He has always done great work. Friendly and dependable. Highly recommended.

Trevor did an absolutely amazing job with my Maton electric, with re-fretting, adjusting the neck and generally tidying it up. It was the first time I had taken this guitar in for a tidy up after owning it for 14 years, and now it feels as if I had just bought it brand new. I fully recommend Binford Luthiery to anyone who wants work done on their guitar.

I took two of my guitars here to be set up to lower the action to make them easier to play. Wow I got them home and found just how good Trevor is at his job. They both sound so great and with the lowered strings, now so close to the fretboard, vibrato, string bending that add flavour to your playing an make you sound good are so easy to do. It is a must to get your guitar set up by a professional before you start to learn to play and Trevor is that professional. Thanks Trevor for the excellent job you did. I will be back.

Trevor is not only a super knowledgeable professional, he's a real friendly guy too. He made me feel super welcome and the work he's done on my guitar is epic. Big fan and highly recommend!

Trevor was very professional and knowledgeable. Went in to see whether or not my guitars action is high. Helped me lowered the saddle and now it’s much better than before. Definitely will go back if i have any other guitar related problems. Thanks!

Trevor did an amazing job on a neck reset for my old fender. Sounds better that it ever did. Very knowledgeable and nice to deal with, highly recommend Binford Luthiery

I bought a used fender 12 string with a bent neck. Trevor removed the neck and did his magic. Of the twelve guitars I own, I haven't been able to put this one down. Perfect set up, highly highly recommended AAA+

I'm really grateful for and impressed with the fantastic job Mr Binford did on my guitar. It looks way better, it plays beautifully. This was mainly a set up and a few repairs. Trevor is a very talented man (insane knowledge about luthiery and rocknroll also). This is the fricking place you need to go to.

Update to my first review (10 months ago). The experience just keeps on getting better and better. Trevor is the only source for custom arch-top guitars and ukuleles in NZ....amazing instruments, and he never fails me in repairs and set up. Thanks again Trevor. Superb customer service and artisan craftsmanship...we really appreciate Trevor's attention to detail and his passion to make everything just right...will keep going back to Binford Luthiery...highly recommended.

Got my guitar repaired here for a good price and it sounds fantastic! Trevor is a friendly and approachable guy who knows his craft very well, and he builds fantastic custom guitars too. I will certainly go back to Binford Luthiery if I need any more work done.

Trevor Binford helped me build a beautiful acoustic guitar, which I love immensely and will be a family heirloom for years to come. It was great fun and hugely rewarding. Trevor is a great guy.

Took my guitar in to get set up as had a few issued after buying off trade me- like a completely different guitar. Highly recommended

Took my 26 string lap harp to Trevor to get sharping levers added, and he did a really decent job without having any other prior experience with harps. Would definitely recommend!

An excellent workshop to visit. Trevor is friendly and informative. Would love to build a guitar with Trevor one day. Thanks for showing me your workshop.

Great help getting my son's electric guitar repaired so he could get back to his lessons.

Stunning location, one-of-a-kind experience, service, and staff.

Trevor is an amazing teacher

Trevor certainly knows his stuff. Did a full electronics reset and set up on a rickenbacker bass. Sounds stunning. Great guy too.

Great Service, Great guy and great work! My guitar has never sounded so good...even when I play it! Highly recommend!

Great guy to deal with and honors his work. Anything guitar related this man can sort it out. Everytime I contact him he has been able to help out on the spot.

Knowledgeable craftsman able to look after (almost) any stringed instrument. Quick and clear communication. Will do business there again and highly recommended.
