No. And don't take it personal I know there are great luthiers throughout the world. This site has taught me that. But like Searls said outside of a few guys I know from email and forums I am not sure who the heck might decide it was a good day to try something they have never attempted on one of my guitars.I asked Allen to help me out when it comes to repairs. If I send guitars to within driving distance (whatever a customer is willing to drive) of Searls I would be happy for him to work on my stuff.I just have to hope the local guy is good in other parts of the world.
Got it, sorry for the misunderstanding, now back to a killer thread.
