That's good to hear! To be fair I've always been happy to pay whatever Some Neck charge because they're absolutely trustworthy.
I dropped my Collings in for service a few years ago and as it would happen someone else dropped in an almost identical Collings OM2H on the same day to have a pickup fitted.
When I went back to collect my Collings Owen, the owner, with a great deal of gravity told me he had to tell me something...
Apparently he had my guitar on the bench with the drill in hand ready to fit the jack end pin for the pickup before realising that there had been a mixup in the Collings's.
No harm had been done and I actually thought it was kind of funny because what are the chances of two Collings OM2H arriving in to the workshop on the same day.
Anyway... he refused to take payment for the service on the basis that it was unacceptable that there had even been a mixup between the guitars even if no harm had been done.I really couldn't recommend Some Neck highly enough, if you want the very best setup you'll ever get or are in the market for something nice they're well worth a look and happy to ship to anywhere in the world.

Wow, they sound amazing! In stark contrast to my experience at one of the premier guitar shops in Brisbane who took over 18mths on a refret. The shop owner forgot about my guitar (even tho' it has a very distinguished punk rock provenance!), the luthier/tech was having some emotional issues at the time and couldn't face doing the job, apparently the frets were quite difficult to get out. 🎻
A total farce, I never went back.
I haven't had a lot of luck over here, that other prick snapped the neck on my '59 Junior when it was in for a refin.
BTW I LOVE that Gretsch.

my '78 mustang cost £350 for a delicate re-fret a couple of years ago, so 450eu seems on par to me
