st1ggyl Posted 17 hours ago Posted 17 hours ago (edited) Sorry if this isn't the right place to ask this... I don't doubt the quality of Jon's work but I've only contacted him via email (the one on his website) and things have been a little different to how I'd expected. I'm not sure if it's a case of "master engineer takes his time" in which case yeah, fair enough. I just wondered if anyone else has had a similar experience? Edited 4 hours ago by st1ggyl Quote
Kiwi Posted 4 hours ago Posted 4 hours ago He built me a 6-string bass back in 2009 which I sold last year and two years ago I built a custom guitar body under his supervision. He works at his own pace, he prioritises quality and believes his reputation is based on the quality of his workmanship and I've generally observed that he doesn't respond to pressure. He's also been overwhelmed by orders since COVID. You could talk to Oz who runs the Owl Sanctuary guitar workshop from the floor upstairs at Jon's premises. https://ozzyowl.co.uk/ He could build you a custom guitar and he would probably go to Jon with any questions about your build. So you might end up with something not far off what Jon might have built himself Quote
st1ggyl Posted 4 hours ago Author Posted 4 hours ago Thanks for the reply @Kiwi, much appreciated. I was just getting nervous as I've never ordered a custom guitar before and have never actually met Jon (all was organised via email), but everything you said tracks and puts my mind at ease, so I'll just leave him to get on with it until he gets in touch.
