last thursday, i was flew out to San Francisco and was able to visit the Somogyi Shop where Jason is working. I met him around 4:30pm and didn't end up leaving for my hotel until past 10pm. We did break for dinner so we wouldn't be so famished.
First of all, let me tell you that when I first met Jason on New Years, I was very impressed. Upon my visit this time around, I was even more impressed. As stated before, I feel as though Jason gets me and my music. He is a top notch builder and an incredible person. We spent a lot of time talking about guitars and the way he approaches building. Here is Jason in one of the rooms as we were talking about guitars: I was also able to get a shot of the Andamento that Jason built under Somogyi: what a case! and the humor and cheesiness:

the shop had many rooms and we did take time to continue talking about his build technique and the things he would to to build the guitar for the tone I am after:
He showed me a bunch of things he was working on including Michael Watts' guitar: showed me some killer koa and two other Andamento's he's working on:
