Welcome to the NZ Stringed Instruments website

Paddy thank you, I am overwhelmed with the guitar. It is just too beautiful to describe. So subdued yet spectacular in its craftsmanship. Every piece of wood and paua is gorgeous…And the sound is more than I could have hoped for…I love the deep and mellow tone. I always aim for cello in my instruments and yours is no exception. It is a guitar that I will always treasure, the more so since I now know the luthier who made it. Gracias, muchos gracias. I hope one day our paths will cross.

I’ve been meaning to tell you how well it’s "played in", and of the interest the instrument has created. Also it’s my own individual instrument, thanks to you….I don’t believe I would have got a better instrument anywhere in the world at that price.

It is wondrous Paddy, a beautiful piece of work. Every bit as spectacular as I expected. The wood is more rich in color than I remembered – in short, yours truly is ecstatic to own such an instrument. Thanks again for such a great instrument – you do brilliant work and I am well pleased.

Thank you so much…The guitar is beautiful. You are great at what you do. I love it. It feels amazing. I am a bit blown away though its like I have picked up a guitar for the first time….Thanks again Paddy. I will definitely keep in touch, it’s been a pleasure doing business with you. You have been a great help. Everybody that has seen it loves IT!
