Ryan said it already, but I'll second it: thanks all for the kind words.
It somehow feels safer putting a guitar out into the market than it does talking about one's work. There's a sense of vulnerability in all this that is surprising. So your nice reception is really encouraging.
Thanks again,

Steve

As I think back on my experience with you folks this is exactly how I remember it. All interactions to bring my vision of the perfect instrument together for me. Really nice video guys. Well done!

Well done, gentlemen...

I’m impressed, to say the least... and the thing that made the biggest impression on me, is the glimpse into your personas. You both present yourselves as very likeable, and good, down-to-earth people. Not that these traits aren’t seen in your regular posts... but more of a validation of the impression, that I’ve built in my mind, from reading your posts over time.

Thank you for sharing,
Joel

It's the reason we come back time after time. Their guitars are exceptional, but there are lots of accomplished builders out there. It's the personal interaction they provide during the building process that makes it an amazing experience. I know for me at least, when they finished my last build that there was a touch of sadness in closing that chapter. I honestly enjoy the build process as much as finally receiving the guitar. I have had the good fortune to make several trips to their shop and just like comes across in the video they are two of the nicest most gracious (both with their time and knowledge) humble people that you will ever meet. Fortunately for me they are getting ready to start my next build, it will be a Madi/Redwood 00. I cant wait. Great video guys, it really shows how connected you are to your work and your customers. WELL DONE

Another redwood - you guys are on a roll! These are going to need their own special page on your website.

This is exactly how they seem to me. I see you have a deep body OM...that would probably be my choice, if finances and space allow at any point. I might consider a maple guitar...something to dream about, I guess.

Many thanks everyone for all the very nice words. Like Steve said, it’s one thing to talk shop with someone (which we love to do anytime), but it’s another thing to have your ramblings set on video for everyone to see. Thanks as always AGF for your support.

Thanks David! Steve is always telling me that a commitment is in my future, but I’ll let him know that he and I are actually already committed here.
