Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted January 10, 2008 Posted January 10, 2008 It seems "the best luthier in the country" hits some of his instruments very hard with an ugly-stick ... And that's my opinion, not necessarily a fact Quote

And that's my opinion, not necessarily a fact[/quote] Well it may have been what the customer asked for of course - that's what custom luthiers do. Some will say "You must be joking mate, I'm not building that or if I do I'm certainly not putting my name on it and you must not tell anyone I built it" But then others may need the work ... Quote

Do not ever be tempted. Just Say No, Walk away from the workshop. DO NOT EVER go into the Shuker Wood Store, Do not call him and say "My girlfriend's going shopping in the Next factory shop on the Chesterfield Rd so I wondered if I could just pop in and say hello and have a look at The Wood Store" ...
