"What a pleasure to meet you and your craft ! Your guitar was magnificent, and was the best thing at the show at least for me). We must talk about a guitar ! If other guys are making them and are being successful, your designs will rise to the top of the heap in no time. We simply have to get the word out there. Lets stay in touch, I have some ideas."

"Dear Mike Haney,

I wanted to write you this note to let you know how incredibly pleased I am with the guitar that you made for my wife. I absolutely understand what a job it must have been to take the bits and pieces of information that she could give you and try to do what you obviously do so well---make guitars. I can't tell you what a pleasure it is to play, to listen to it being played, and to even look at it. You have created for me a pleasurable means of sharing my love of music and for the guitar with others.

I wanted to also let you know the things I have particularly liked and have noticed about what you have done. I suppose above all things I need to say THE SOUND IS MAGNIFCENT.I unpacked the guitar, immediately tuned it and played a full chord---it was perfect. I have played many guitars of varying quality, but I have never played a guitar with better sound. It is full, rich, and sustained. Certainly I appreciate the tuners, the herringbone, the rosewood, my name in abalone, and the overall feel and balance, and even the understated simplicity in design. But without question, THE SOUND IS MAGNIFICENT. I am not sure if Sue had mentioned to you that I had the neck of my Taylor cut down because of the thick and heavy feel it had. The luthier did a wonderful job on it and I had determined that I would own that guitar the rest of my life because I was very happy with it and only wanted to have the neck feel thinner in my hand. I don't know how you were able to do it , but the neck you made for me is perfect for the feel I like. Now, however I have a wonderful Taylor 812 for sale! In closing, let me say thank you for your skill and the quality of the work that you gave me. Also, it is a pleasure to share the guitar with my friends and tell them that I own a handmade Haney guitar. After hearing it , they wish they owned one too!!!"

"I saw this postcard and thought of you (Picasso Cubist Guitar). Like the picture you took some pieces and some how formed a better restoration on my guitar than when it was new. Everything on it is perfect. The pickups are perfect, the neck nut, everything."

"I don't think there is a guitar you can't fix."

"Mike, I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate your expertise in doing my guitar repairs. Whether it be acoustic or electric, your quality work and attention to detail are second to none. Very seldom do you find a repair expert who cares so much about the guitar and the outcome of the repair. You care about each guitar as if it were your own. So far, your have worked on 3 Stratocasters, 2 Ovations and a Guild and a Les Paul. I am extremely pleased with the results. Your work and attitude are excellent and much appreciated. I just wanted to let you know."

"Mike, Thank you so much for the excellent work you do on my guitars! You helped resurrect my old Taylor from bad electronics right in time for a string of shows! I would go to no one else for any work I need done. Your work, turnaround time and all around service, is simply the best. I tell almost any guitar player I meet that needs any work done... "you gotta call this guy!!!" Hope all is well. Someday we will build that guitar with Brazilian rosewood back and sides and a little Adirondack spruce for the top. Take care Mike!!!"
