I have spent many happy and rewarding hours with Kevin in his gorgeous shop. Nice to see him get some recognition.
Satire? Sure.

He also has posted some really good instructional videos. Well worth looking at.

And Kevin has turned out some gorgeous looking and sweet-playing one-of-a-kind commissioned guitars that were impeccably constructed.

It's s funny because it is so close to reality. Some of the "repairs" you have encountered and described would fit right in.

Exactly. I was thinking of that guy on YouTube who did the neck reset with a screw, then claimed that an adjustable neck like that was found on "expensive" guitars, as well as the bizarre things I've encountered on my bench.MaineGeezer wrote: ↑Sun Mar 03, 2024 8:49 pm It's s funny because it is so close to reality.

Honestly at first I wasn't sure of what i was watching, because of what I've seen.
