Hi Steve, just wanted to say a massive thank you for my order, really pleased with the Purpleheart and Walnut everything's perfect. Will be in touch soon to order more.

Hi Steve,

Timber arrived today as promised.

Highly delighted. Now it's up to me to make something of it.

Hi there

I recently took delivery of some Rocklite Ebano - fretboards, binding, bridges and head plates.

I thought I'd take to the time to feedback on the product.

In short it's great, and probably the best non-Ebony replacement, as a guitar maker, I have used to date


Kind Regards

Alan.


Hi Steve,

I finally got the guitar finished! Rock-lite fingerboard a definite success. I will definitely use your product again. Thanks!

T.B.


Hi Guys

Just wanted to say a big Thank you!

The Rocklite arrived today and a pleasant surprise to get some samples of the Rosewood Rocklite too!

Many thanks

Alan



Hi Steve,

I just received my order of fretboards and I must admit, I’m really pleased with them. My current intern from Sweden recommended them to me and told me that this material is also very good for binding. I want to ask if you sell this material in larger sizes so that I can make my own binding out of it? I see you make your own binding but I do so many custom projects that its handy for me to make my own.

Thanks for making a great product.

R.K.


Hi,

I have just been viewing your website and finding out about Rocklite which I am very impressed by. I love that this product and as I'm in the processes of setting up to produce my own guitar range, I have decided that going forward, I would like to use Rocklite exclusively for all my fingerboard, bridge and bindings needs.


Regards
Jon



"Steve,
Kudos on the Sundari! If I didn't know better I would think it was Indian Rosewood!

Thank You,"

“Hi Steve,

I just got back from vacation,
And the package had arrived meanwhile. (UPS was co-operative) I just wanted to thank you, the wood was exactly what I thought it would be according to your grading specs and very high quality.
I am very happy with it and will buy more wood from you in the future! Extra points from the great packaging, too!

Thank You!
Cheers,”

“Hi,
I would just like to thank you so much for getting these out to me so quick, especially as you were out of the country looking at wood in the mountains when I phoned you :). Hope you had a safe trip back.

I would also like to thank you for the free piece of wood you included, what a lovely gesture and very much appreciated and it will come in handy.

Thanks for everything

Kind Regards”

WOW!
just got my shipment, fantastic stuff!! the rosewood is amazing, thank you for the samples. You are definitely onto something with this material. Let me know when you have the bigger headplate material and I'll pick some up.

thanks again!

“Hi Steve
I've discovered another good feature of rocklite. Just did a re-fret and the fretboard did not chip at all when removing fretwire.”
Roy S.

“Hi

I received my order of a couple of bass fretboards and a couple of headstock veneers, thank you, they arrived safely. I am very pleased especially with the Sundari board, I'm amazed how good it is, to be honest unless I compare side by side it's near impossible to tell it from the real thing. I have been a cabinet maker for a lot of my life and have used a lot of Rosewood, so I'm not easily fooled, so, well done and how you did that is beyond me.”

“Hi,

I got my wood yesterday and it is really super. I'm very happy, thanks a lot guys.
But I have a question about some strange wood what was inside the box. I assume that it was supporting the cocobolo to get it safe here. But I think it is good enough to make some end gaft or...

Untill next time,

Kristjan”




Thanks for the Rocklite, Steve.


“Loving this material so far, I think we may be using lots of this in the future!”

“Dear Mr Keys
Thank you for such swift service - the head veneers arrived safely here in France today.
Please let me know if we owe you any more for the postage.
Best wishes

“I'm really looking forward to trying this new material out on our guitars.

“Hi Steve I got the fingerboard, looks very interesting. I machined it out on my cnc and it machines very well! I would be interested in trying this material out for my archtop guitar tail pieces too sometime.
One very satisfied customer!
thanks!”
VB


“Hello Steve,

Thanks again for your time this afternoon. I've had a long think about both of the wide fingerboard blanks and think that I'll need to swap for a piece of your rocklite instead. The 8 string guitar I'm building really needs a black fingerboard!

Are you in your workshop tomorrow?
Best wishes,”
Manfred

Hi Steve

this Email is to let you know that the two ebony sets have been delivered yesterday in good condition. Very well packed and protected for shipment, thanks a lot.

Many Thanks,”

“Hi,

Following the advice of Jacky Walraet, from the CMB in Belgium, I've used Rocklite for the bridge of a Stauffer copy. I appreciated working with this material.


Best regards,”

SB.

“Hi Steve .

That Rocklite product is amazing! . I started a cue with it and I can't believe how nice it is to work with.

I have one more shaft ready so could I please order another set of pre-cut splices please ?

Thanks”

PN.



Hi Steve,
Thanks for sorting that out and the postage refund.
The mahogany is of a very good quality and the cut is great.

Cheers,”
Theo

“Hello,
I am a massive fan of rocklite, but notice you do not do violin, viola, or cello fingerboards...
I am specifically after cello fingerboards and would be happy to buy in bulk
Thank you, “
Hannah

“Hi,
