GhostZapp Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 I am a newbie to guitar building yet have been playing for twenty years. I am thinking about purchasing some machines from Grizzly Industrial Inc. Can anyone comment as to if this is a qaulity producer of luthier machines? Thx GhostZapp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnsilver Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 I'm not exactly sure what you mean by luthier machines, but I have several tools from Grizzly and I am quite happy with their quality and performance. There are many folks that access this forum who own Grizzly machines and they can relay their own experience. In addition to their main tool catalog, Grizzly produces a luthier catalog. In that catalog, there is a page that shows many guitar manufacturing companies (Gibson, Fender Custom Shop, Taylor, Collings, Suhr, Tacoma) that use Grizzly machines. Of course, they are using the high end machines most of which are out of reach for the typical home luthier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devon Headen Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 I've been nothing but happy with my grizzly tools. Over at the MIMF it seems everyone hates them, though. I've never had any trouble at all with any of their tools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay5 Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 You really need to look up reviews on the individual tools you are considering. Try e-opinions.com or amazon.com. I would also check woodworking websites. I imagine you will find some good info to help you with your decisions. It's hard to generalize a single brand of tools as good or bad.
