You hid like a cowering dog ibstead of being a man and taking responsibility for your mistake! Remember when you had my Dan Armstrong AMPEG plexiglass bass? And you went to drill the stud out of it but the drill wandered and you put an extra hole in the guitar? And you did not have the balls to tell me what happened and I had to see it and Discover it on my own! That's not craftsmanship that's not doing a favor that's hiding your mistakes! Others need to be aware of your failures and your lies! Or how you spray painted the neck of the guitar in question with overspray all over it that's not craftsmanship but here's the kicker when I replace that neck that you destroyed and took the neck off instead of wood shims back there there was a matchbook cover as a shim cardboard has a shim in the neck that's true craftsmanship! So when you people read this review I speak the truth just beware he had that guitar for many months
