“Over the past year and a half, the only guy I have taken any of my guitars to has been Freddy. Whether it was replacing/upgrading hardware like a new tremolo system with locking tuners or what I would call major surgery" such as reshaping a standard-block bolt on neck area to be a more contoured one you won't find better service in the Niagara Region at any price point, than Freddy's frets. When this major surgery" was done Freddy basically made my guitar body into a far more comfortable, work horse of a guitar which was exactly what I wanted it to be. He was very honest, patient and detailed when going about what it would require in terms of the labor and wood working, it really felt like he treated the job as if he was making a custom guitar from scratch with 27 frets, extra LED lights and a kitchen sink on top! In other words if you can dream it (realistically) then he is always willing to explain over email, phone or in person with a straight forward answer regarding your request vs. the total cost, time and work involved. Now this may seem like something people might "expect" in a custom guitar builder or guitar store - however I've had another experience with a very popular one that will go unnamed who showcased promising results on their site and social media until I asked them basic and "expected" questions about my modifications for the guitar body. I received a brief message along the lines of we cannot tell you anything about how we do our work at this time". Not a very promising answer for most people and the moral of the story there is not all other custom shops, big or small names and the services they offer, are automatically alike. *** In the end I'm glad I took my interests elsewhere and got *exactly* what I wanted from Freddy - more comfort-cutaways on my strat style body compared to what was previously stock. The result completely surpassed my expectations, and so far any wait time always returned in spades with the quality of the finished product. A well deserved 5 stars - custom builder, musician/guitar player himself and an audio engineer the guy really does it all. You can even watch a good chunk of the different work he's done over the years on the "Freddys frets" Youtube channel before you decide to pull the trigger! If i had to think of one thing that could lead to someone getting a lesser overall experience than my own, it would be coming into this custom shop with a guitar project, setup/ repair or whatever instrument you have without knowing EXACTLY what you want out of it.”
