But my intentions we pure,I thought asking anyone , especially someone like John to justify himself was a bit rich , and I enjoy the diversity the forum offers and the different strokes for diffeernt folks feel.

I would hate to see that tainted by a show us your plot or piss off vibe.

Cheers,

Paul.

Exactly why I reacted as well Paul, just sorry it had to happen in John's gallery post. He started posting on this forum again for, as he put it, "a bit of fun". Just hope we haven't scared you off John, because I for one value your experience in the business & your freely given input to the craft.

Who is Trevor...

Yeh, I often wonder

See what you've started Trevor! Just hope you don't ever start up a luthier's commune

It's about respecting an experienced persons ability, no matter how they skin a guitar.

I was new to a job and the apprentice they gave me told me, 3 days in, " I don't have to listen to you, you old knot!".
I wasn't even old! I didn't tell him a thing after that. I kept him on the dumb end of the tape.
