    ...There are a few like him on YouTube, one guy produces really long videos of himself messing about in his workshop, (garden shed). His specialty is “precision” fret levelling which is done with a truss rod with abrasive paper stuck to it....
    Bit of a tease without a link, but I'm always up for a bit of guitar-mentalist entertainment (and God knows there are enough of them about) so I had a search and I guess this is the man you mean. He goes go on (and on) but seems sane compared to the real headbangers like Tony McKenzie!

    That's really harsh on me. I am a far better example. (cue wiz's)

    Argh, even his YouTube video clips are like his nut slots: deeper than they are wide.

  • You all laugh at him but his QC is more consistent than Gibson

    I think I've missed something - who is this chap?
    It's @Gassage. ;

    You thought he was just a Gilmore fanboi 

    But by night he murders baritone guitars with an axe (careful with that) for hamfisted guitarists around the globe.

    I can't help but feel like this all feels a bit like unnecessary mocking/bullying in a way and something we should probably be above doing.

    That’s him! You’re not a detective by any chance.  He’s quite funny for a while particularly when he’s doing one of his “Arisocat” restorations which usually involves him bodging up some total heap of crap. Some idiot sent him a brand new Gibson Les Paul to set up once, most of the resulting video consisted of him nit picking about the build quality, he certainly likes the sound of his own voice. I guess he’s OK if you’re into slow television.

    i agree, im all for the banter and yeah he is a guitar butcher but i don't plan on buying one as i have normal sized hands, and his feedback is not bad, so people must like what he is doing if they are buying them. Feels all a bit pitchforky

    Presumably you have seen 'Night in Langney'. This is his defining performance imo, a man at the peak of his powers. 


    I think that bass line is great
