“Working with Tim was a trip, and I hope to take this trip again someday.”

“It is so beautiful that initially, I wasn't sure if I should play it or frame it and hang it on my wall!”

“My first Timtone is now the instrument I grab most often to play. I highly recommend Tim as a builder. Getting a truly customized and personal instrument is a challenging but satisfying task, and Tim did an excellent job on my instrument. The only way I could have gotten conceptually closer would be to have built it myself, and the results would not have been nearly as satisfying as the experience, skill, and craftsmanship Tim was able to deliver.”

“ I have developed a lot of respect for an individual who I believe is one of the best in the business at what he does. He is easy to work with and almost too accessible, but that is his style, as he wants to be there for every client. These guitars are not only works of incredible craftmanship and art but also as fully functional state-of-the-art instruments.”

“Tim, for those of us on this planet who are lucky enough to have music as a love and passion, you have made our world a better place. I thank you in deepest sincerity.
I am already excited about my next Timtone... oh... and the next... and the next... and the next....”

“In my hands it is the answer to a long search for a guitar that plays like only Tim can make a guitar play, but produces sounds that are the best amalgam of acoustic and electric tones that I've only imagined but never heard. If it were any more alive, I can't resist saying that I would be afraid to hold it in my lap!
Thank you, once again, Tim.”

““Tim surpassed my expectations.
This was the best shopping experience I've had and it was lots of fun.”

“A word on Tim, the man. He is a great guy (which, of course, wouldn't matter if his work stunk) who will work with you every step of the way. He's patient, tries to understand your style and quirks (unless you don't have any), and works pretty much round the clock. And, lastly, he'll be there if you ever need him for questions, support, etc. He WILL stand by his work (which is more than I can say for other builders).”

“Tim took a lot of time explaining each and every option, explaining the pros and cons and, when asked, even gave opinions which discouraged the unnecessary inclusion of certain options, frequently to his financial detriment- the sign of an honest man.“

"This guitar is an amazing piece of workmanship! When I opened the shipping crate, I simply had to stare at the guitar for quite a while before even picking it up. The fit & finish are the best I've encountered.
My thanks to Tim for a true work of art."

Bruce H.
“Most important of all-the whole process was fun. Tim was always available, and we got to know each other, a call with a simple question became a half-hour chat with a friend. Thanks Tim."

“The workmanship is first rate, and the woods and inlays are drop dead
gorgeous. Tim was a pleasure to work with. He helped steer me in the direction of getting just the guitar that I envisioned in my head.”

Bobby H.
"After receiving the guitar, I anxiously opened the case (which is first rate by the way) and froze as my jaw hit the ground. This is one of the most beautiful instruments I have ever seen. If I framed it and stuck
it on the wall as decorative art, it would almost be worth the money that I paid for it. Absolutely excellent workmanship! Not a flaw anywhere."
