I'm really glad to hear this - though I haven't played one of Jason's guitars yet (really hoping to sometime soon), he's clearly building a great reputation for himself very quickly. The last thing I'd want to see is him being painted into being a maker of 'Somogyi copies' - I want to see him doing his own thing, like Michi Matsuda and some of Somogyi's other apprentices.

Good luck with the builds - I'll be following the build threads closely!
