'I initially asked Ian to check over my guitar (PRS inspired custom build) and basically recommend anything that would improve its feel and playability. And also replace the pickups, and wire it up in a way that gives me the same switching options as the original PRS 24-08.
Well, it was a nice guitar to begin with, but after it having spent some time in Ian's workshop, given a fret dress (level, crown and polish), a setup and some TLC, it's now a great playing guitar. The job he did on the wiring is superb. The tonal options are great, and he's managed to get it functioning exactly as I wanted it to, with none of the usual issues that you always seem to get when using coil splitting options. I had a chance to see other projects while at the workshop, both finished, and still in progress, and can say that attention to detail and quality of workmanship is top notch.
There'll be another one of my guitars heading there soon.
Highly recommended'.

From a technical perspective, the bass needed to be able cut through the demanding setting of 5 piece hard rock band but still be flexible enough to play lighter material. Drop D tuning is used extensively with the band so a hipshot matching the current tuners was required.
The quality of work on the electronics and brass nut is excellent.
Ian also took inspiration from the headstock shape for the controls plate. This gets really positive feedback all the time with people asking if Jackson designed it. My only response is, 'they can only wish'.
An excellent custom bass that performs brilliantly even in a very demanding environment and has become my primary bass.
Excellent work and recommend Ian for your customization needs.

This year, I had my Harmony acoustic renovated at Evans Guitar Lab. I’ve had the instrument since 1981 and gigged with it regularly throughout the 80’s. In the past ten years it has rarely been played and had fallen into bad shape. Ian’s care for the instrument and his meticulous attention to detail has brought the guitar back to life – a truly stunning transformation! Thanks Fella.

Thank you Evans Guitar Lab for the fantastic work repairing my guitar. The guitar was in real need of an MOT and Ian quickly identified and repaired all its faults including replacing machine heads, testing and fitting new electrics and crafting a new bridge. It’s better than brand new. Diolch
