Old Wave Mandolin
"
WOW !!!!!!!!!
Just finished playing the mando at a practice with my Irish group. We finished about 9:45pm, but I couldn't put the mando down until now ... and when I finish this email I will be right back on it ... but I had to write. What a wonderful job you did on my mandolin ... The E strings have never sounded so clear, bright and similar ... think that must be the new bone nut, because it is the same in the open string position. The stainless steel frets play like a dream !!! I was worried about my old mando when the original frets wore slam out, because it may never live again ... but it does !!! I am now truly a believer in your video on YouTube. Much more volume, better tone, no loss in bass response which was a real plus on this Old Wave mando, and velvety smoooooooth touch. Thank you for using my solid maple bridge and setting it up so nicely. Know that was extra work. The action you set is perfect ... nothing for me to do but play and enjoy. Thank You ... Thank You ... Thank you ... for bringing new life back into this wonderful ol' mando !!! I will be passing this info to my mando buddies (old Gibson friends), as well as other fretted band mates and friends ... Thank You Very Much Sincerely, " Charles Johnson Tallahassee, Florida 
1995 Gibson Studio
"I have a 1995 Gibson Studio. I sent Gary my guitar with only my T-Top pickups,
Alum. tail and Roller bridge + pickup switch. Gary installed my new SS frets, all
wiring is vintage, cap Vol. and Tone pots. When the guitar was done. He sent it back
to me. Plug guitar in the Amp. I can tell everyone this is the Best sound and playing
guitar I ever played. This man can be trusted and his work is GREAT.
Gary, I thank you for a great job and work." Gene and Greg New Jersey 
JACKSON PRO FUSION XL"I am one of the happy customers of Mr. Gary Hudson.
I have an old Jackson electric guitar which had quite fret wear and
annoying fret buzz. When I brought my guitar and talked with him, I
soon recognized his passion and professionalism for his work. He did
the refret job with stainless frets and total adjustment of the instrument
for me. I am very satisfied with the quality of his work. He is so amazing!
The stainless frets that most of other luthiers don't like to work with
were installed beautifully and feel great. Refret and adjustment by
him also made my guitar more resonant and sound more constant over the
frets. Literally my guitar was re-born! Thank you so much Gary!!
Again thank you for your beautiful job! My re-born Jackson is making me smile when I play!" Thanks, Fumitake Kametani, Ph.D. National High Magnetic Field Laboratory, Florida State University Research areas of: Applied Superconductivity and Magnets & Materials Engineering  LES PAUL GOLD TOP"My 1969 Les Paul was well overdue to have some work done but I had always been hesitant about it until I met Gary. I looked over a couple of his other re-fret and repair jobs and his meticulous workmanship and careful attention to detail led me to believe that it was finally time to have the old girl massaged back into shape. We talked over my needs and expectations for the finished work and decided on stainless frets among a fairly long list of incidentals such as going back to the original Kluson tuners, filling in the fingerboard, etc... When I went to pick her up, the first thing I noticed was the precision of the work. Then we plugged her in and I fell in love with that guitar all over again!Thanks Gary, for the job well done and the smile on my face every time I pick her up and start to play."

FENDER, IBNANEZ, & MARTIN"It has taken me years to locate a craftsman who I trust totally leaving my guitars with. Gary Hudson has so far worked on three of my guitars and one of my daughter's. What I have gotten back has been exceptional quality and professional work exceeding anything I have seen in this area. Gary is well worth the trip to Tallahassee. If you are with in three hundred miles of him there are two things you need to do. Come his one of her performances and if you have a guitar that needs superb care, renovations or set up, contact him. If you are not within three hundred miles, do yourself a favor and move closer. You will need him eventually. Gary's work is also endorsed by everyone here at Turtle Pond Music who have benefited from his abilities, and that includes my daughter Wendy."Walt Johnson, Marietta, FL Turtle Pond Music ROAD WORN STRAT"I have a Road Worn Strat that needed some work. It had fret issues that interfered with doing a string bend up one step on the high E. Having repair work done twice lowered the action some and improved it but did not solve the problem. I had Gary work on both problems with this guitar and he gave it back to me with action lowered and the High E problem corrected, and, at a fraction of the cost that covered previous repairs! He straightened the neck and set the intonation and tremolo completely to my satisfaction. My guitar now plays and feels beautifully, better than any Road Worn Strat I have ever played!"Mike Bailey Scots On The Rock (band) TAKAMINE G-10"Last year, Gary installed a Baggs I-Beam pickup system in my Takamine G-10. It had no electric capability prior to this. Then he adjusted the truss rod and replaced the plastic saddle with a bone saddle, and now it sounds like a guitar costing much more, and I can plug it in! Gary transformed my lowly Tak into something that can compete with his Taylor."Casey Howell, DAC Embroidery, Charlotte, NC GIBSON ACOUSTIC"Gary Hudson did a fantastic job on recommending and installing a new pickup on my Gibson. At the time, I was playing at Church and his improvements made a big difference in the way my guitar sounded and it made it easier to get "plugged in" and the sound correct. He was very fast and accurate. He also seems to have this ability to connect with the guitar and know just what is needed to make the improvements. Kind of reminds me of that car commercial where the person kind of describes the sound and the repair guy knows exactly what is needed. I would, without reservation recommend Gary's services for anyone."Fred Beckham, Tallahassee TAYLOR 914CE"After meeting Gary at one of his gigs, he was kind enough to let me perform a short set using his 414ce. The performance of his guitar is awesome and compelled me to have him convert my 914ce. The modification looks great and the audio results are immediately noticeable through my PA. To use an auto analogy, I had a 911 and now I have a 911 Turbo!"Tim Simmons Hewlett-Packard Tampa, FL
