Excellent products and excellent service.Alistair McLean21 August 2024Ordered a set of SIT bass strings. They arrived, in perfect condition a day before I was expecting. Brad added a personal nite on the packing slip. I've got them on, but need to do a set up before I take them fir a proper spin, but very happy at this point. Thanks BradJoshua Haslemore17 August 2024I cannot recommend Brad at Tone Merchants enough. I picked up an Ibanez AS73 and have been looking to really get some life into it. I am by no means a guitar tech expert in any way shape or form. After doing a bit of research on what I was after, Brad took me through some options to help get the best out of this guitar. Came back with some gorgeous Lollar Imperials and even split coil for fun. The end result far exceeded my expectations. A completely different guitar and a super easy process to get sorted. Brad is great at communicating and helping you get what you are after if you're thinking about making some upgrades or adjustments to your guitar(s), go see Brad!Patricia Danielle Tan13 August 2024Amazing product range hard to find elsewhere in NZ, with responsive and friendly service to go with super quick shipping for in stock items.

A+Andy Cheal22 July 2024Brad at Tone Merchants is awesome to deal with, up front, honest, friendly and great communication. I will not hesitate to use him again in the future or recommend him to anyone.moose20 July 2024Great local store sourcing in hard to get parts from abroad. Great seller, really smooth service and was even kind enough to throw in a great recommendation for a local luthier to fit the parts.
