AxCalibur Industries

"To whom it may concern, Tom over at AxCalibur Industries knows his guitars for sure! I had him overhaul my 1976 Greco Les Paul and he did a fantastic job. The frets were polished to perfection. He installed some push/pull coil split and in/out of phase pots and Seymour Duncan TB4 and TB2 pickups and the outcome was better than I expected. After a professional set up, he delivered it to me and we jammed for a while. Needless to say he left with a smile after I glorified his work. Tom is a recommended installer for Wammi World. I only recommend the best and he made the cut. If you need some guitar work done, you can't go wrong with Tom Courser & AxCalibur Industries. Wammi recommended.

" Tom Courser at AxCalibur Industries has the most in-depth knowledge of the anatomy of a guitar of any Builder/Craftsman I've ever met. But even more important to me as I was searching for someone to refurbish my Gibson Les Paul, was that he had the patience to share his insight into the intricacies of the job with me and to answer all of my questions. His vast knowledge was invaluable, from knowing my playing style, to the quality of the work performed. Mr Courser has given me excellent service on my recent guitar renovation. Not only is he very personable, polite, and professional, but also Tom is willing to help me any way possible. He is an excellent craftsman who is very organized, punctual, diligent, and efficient. I don't know how he could do any better! I am so appreciative that I have found Tom. I will definitely recommend him to my musician relatives and friends and the next time I buy or sell any guitars or amps. Thank you Tom and keep up the great work!"

"I was sent to Tommy at AxCalibur Industries by the Guitar Center in Reno, NV. I had purchased a brand new left handed Fender Highway 1 Stratocaster and it was need of proper setup and adjustments. Tommy took the time to explain all he was going to do and why. From the factory, the neck was out of alignment, the frets all had sharp edges, the intonation was off, and quite frankly, I was very disappointed.  After Tommy went through it, it was like a whole different instrument! He straightened the neck alignment, adjusted everything, tightened the tuners, set the intonation, dressed and polished all the frets and made it do what it did not do before...PLAY PROPERLY!!! After seeing what he was able to do with my Strat, when I bought my Ibanez bass, I took it to him as well. Now it too plays like a dream, and will rattle the walls.  I now have Tommy completely customizing my Highway 1 Strat and can't wait to play it!!!

"I had ordered a George Lynch "Mr Bones" guitar from another builder who shall remain unnamed. It took months and months for them to get anything done, and when they did, it wasn't correct. The carving was wrong, the paint was hideous, and the routing was really rough and improperly done. The so called "Luthier" who was extracting good money from me was basically unconcerned about how I wanted MY guitar.

After several months of telephone conversations with him, I finally had it and had him send the uncompleted instrument in pieces to me. I contacted Tommy and we went over what needed to be done. He & I worked on it together which was quite a learning experience for me, and a whole lot of fun! Tommy spent hours explaining, teaching, and going through every aspect in great detail. Within a few weeks, the instrument was finished and plays fantastic. I now have the guitar of my dreams, one I have wanted for many years, the way I want it, all thanks to Tommy & AxCalibur Industries."
