My post wasn't meant to slam the group here in anyway. What I simply meant was I was upset at the fact that many people have taken knowledge from this guy and have started their own business. How can someone say"shut him down" when in fact they are on his own very board?
I also agree somewhat with what everyone else states, why buy a relic when you can have the real thing. My opinion is I would, if they could mod it the way I want it. That's why alot of people go elsewhere to look for Luthiers to build customs.
Once I saw the quality of his work, and played the instruments, I felt like I wasted my money all these years on "Factory" guitars.
Again, I'm not saying what he's doing is right or wrong, I'm just stating an opinion.
I didn't mean to ruffle feathers, as I am new here. I just felt one member in particular really isn't being fair in regards to playing sides.
SIxx thanks for standing up for a friend. I have no idea about anything and would like not to be involved but I have to protect my intellectual property
